ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
It’s not hard to spot Elkmont’s senior football players. With only four seniors on the entire team, this will be sixth year head coach Sean Holt’s youngest team ever at Elkmont. It’s not just a lack of seniors. The Red Devils only have about a dozen upperclassmen (juniors or seniors) on the entire team.
“We’ve got some kids on the offensive line that are going to be good, but won’t have much varsity experience,” said Holt. “We’re going to have to switch some things around from what we’ve done. We won’t be able to run guys over like we used to. I’m going to rotate bodies at the running back position. I like the guys we’ve got, but our numbers aren’t the best. It’s going to be by committee. Because we are so young, we are going to spread the ball around and see what guys can do.”
Juniors Brayden Miller and Addison Cox are expected to step up on the offensive line while Christian Green and Jesse Vining will contribute at tight end. The Red Devils will spread the ball around to a host of running backs and receivers including backs Kamron Davis and Grant Murphy and wide receivers Hunter Pitman, Ben Hobbs and Davis Hobbs. Defensively, Elkmont will line up in a lot of three-man fronts to match its more athletic, but smaller personnel. Christian Green will lead the linebacker group and be one of the most experienced players on the team.
Translation:
This is another building year for the Red Devils.
