MIDDLE SCHOOL EDGES CORNERSVILLE FOR THE WIN

Elkmont Middle School survived a wild game in Cornersville, Tennessee. 
 
Hunter Broadway returned a punt to the two yard line, setting up a Nick Gibson touchdown. This put the Red Devils on the score board first. 

Cornerville added a touchdown of its own to tie the score, 8-8.  

 

Later in the game, following a ferocious tackle by Josh Burrows and Paul Gooch, the Red Devils pinned the Bulldogs on their own one yard line for fourth down. The snap went over the punter's head and out of the end zone for a safety. 

Cornersville moved the ball well in the fourth quarter. With the Bulldogs marching to the end zone, Westin Clinard's interception ended one drive. 

Cornersville's final drive ended with a Tyler Burdge interception, resulting in Elkmont taking a knee for a final score of 10-8. Elkmont's defense continues to dominate. 

In addition to interceptions by Clinard and Burdge, Jedidiah Sutherland also picked off a pass. Broadway and Burrows recovered fumbles at critical times. Elkmont improves their record to 3-2.

Appreciate our middle school cheerleaders.
