The Big Game - Let's Get Started!

A terrific night for football. Cool, clear and no chance of rain. Breeze from NNE and temperatures in the 60s calls for a jacket, blanket and hot chocolate.

Lexington was off last week after dropping its season opener 34-18 at Central. The lone bright spot was Everett Williams, who ran for 68 yards and two touchdowns… Now the Golden Bears begin Class 3A, Region 8 play against an Elkmont team that was winless in 2016… The Red Devils are off to an 0-2 start under new head coach Duane Wales and enter on a 12-game losing streak… Lexington is 28-8-1 in the all-time against Elkmont and won 45-10 in 2016. Surprisingly, however, the road team has won the last seven meetings in the series. 

ATHENS NEWS COURIER  
After two consecutive home games, Elkmont will hit the road for the first time this season as they open Class 3A, Region 8 play against Lexington. The Red Devils are 0-2 on the season, having lost 40-20 to Addison and 15-7 to Elkmont. Lexington is 0-1 after dropping a 34-18 decision to Central-Florence last week. Elkmont and Lexington are no strangers to each other, having played 37 previous times. The Golden Bears hold a 28-8-1 advantage in the series, including a 45-10 victory last season. Elkmont will need to get its offense in gear tonight, as the Red Devils were held to just 114 total yards in last week's loss to Ardmore. Hunter Pitman had the lone touchdown for Elkmont, a 31-yard pass reception from Davis Hobbs.
