LAST NIGHT'S PEP RALLY

Our community pep rally to kick off the football season was August 27.  Hill Spirit had a mix-up on the start time but Elkmont turned out anyway. The excitement of tonight's game against Ardmore brought them out early so the mistake in time didn't affect many of our Red Devil fans. 

Best of luck to our team as they go tiger hunting this evening.  It will be a full house and fans will be hanging out the windows so get there early and join the fun.


FAN IN THE STANDS
Devil Pride came out in spades at the pep rally tonight. Our community came together and showed their support for our Devils!!  

Our boys are ready to hunt those tigers!! Our band was awesome!! The cheerleaders did a wonderful job cheering for the boys and getting the crowd going!! Our Elkmont fans were on their feet the entire pep rally showing our Red Devil Spirit and getting our boys pumped up for tomorrow night!! 

Ashley Mcelyea 

ANOTHER FAN'S THOUGHT'S
I am sitting here watching the EHS pep rally. Band is sounding good, football players look good and cheerleaders are getting the crowd excited. Good luck this year RED DEVILS.

READY TO RUMBLE?

Ardmore comes to town tomorrow night to square off against our Red Devils This is a much anticipated game each year.  This annual county rival game is hard hitting and hotly contested.  Kick off: 7 pm

 

Fearless Prediction 

Elkmont 27, Ardmore 19

 

Preview: While the coaches are mostly the same, the players will be different in this annual county rivalry. No two teams lost more graduating seniors from a year ago than these two and both will find out a lot about themselves after Friday’s opener. Elkmont scored seven touchdowns and only had to throw the ball once a year ago while Ardmore matched them score for score most of the game. Look for fewer points this time.

YOUTH FOOTBALL MEETS VARSITY

The youth football program had the opportunity to work with the varsity football team and coaches, August 16.  Our young Red Devils had a great time being with the "big boys".  These varsity players that took the time to be a little player's buddy will always have a number one fan; someone to whisper to his friend in the hallway when he sees his varsity player, "That's my friend."

Thoughts:
"I want to give an amazing huge thank you to Elkmont High School Red Devil Football players & coaches. What a fantastic night! Thank you Coach Holt & Staff for helping us make this happen, let's have a great year, GO RED DEVILS!"       Jason Shawley

"My son had a blast with the Elkmont Varsity Football team and Staff last night during their practice. Those BIG BOYS (my player's words) was awesome with the small kids. So proud to be from this little town where people care about the kids!  Thank you to all that helped; he has not stopped talking about it or PRACTICING!"

STUDENT SECTION PLANNED FOR PLAYOFF GAME

"THE CREW" IS COMING BACK TO ELKMONT.  The crew chiefs are Howard Petty and Layne Smith.  They want as many people as possible to join the student section for Elkmont's 2nd round playoff game vs Madison Academy.  They want to "BLACK OUT" the Mustangs so come dressed in  ever fashionable black.  Be sure to get to the game early so you can sit in the "CREW" section. Gates open at 5:00 pm - be sure to be there by 6 pm to be assured a seat.  Ask Howard and Layne for more info. 

If you are a student and have a friend on the team, grab some buddies and come to the game. Get there about 5:30 and sit as a group; the more the better Be wild, be crazy, be loud, dress up, be noticed, have fun - the team will appreciate your support. Us old people tend to worry about what others might think if we aren't dignified but you are young and don't care about such foolish things. Elkmont has some fun student sections in the past. 

Think of it as college game day fan training for when you go to college.

QUARTERBACK CLUB MEETING -SEPTEMBER 20

1. Quarterback Club Meeting Minutes

Those present were Sean Holt, Jay Hobbs, Heather Hobbs, Darren Newsom, Crystal Newsom, Tamara Holt, Pam Moss, and Therese Logan.

The meeting was called to order by Jay Hobbs.

Minutes from last meeting were not available.

Treasurer's report was not available at this time.

Old Business:  Heather Hobbs reported that the Hilltop Jubilee was set to kick off at 2:00 pm on Saturday.  Coach Bates has agreed to be in charge of garbage cans for the event.  Pre-sale tickets are still available at office.  The local paper has already ran an article on the event and additional advertisement will run tomorrow.  Theresa Logan reported that all food for concessions for Saturday have been ordered.  

Crystal Newsom reported that money from ad sales for the football program are still coming in.  Heather reports that reserved seating monies are up this year, $6000.  There are a few seats still available.

Crystal brought up banking business that was to be discussed at tonight's meeting.  It has been discussed to transfer money from bank C.D. to savings account.  Decision to table for tonight, due to Michael Carter could not be present and had most of the details.

Jay brought up concern he had recently learned about.  Coach Brad Brazeal that was assistant coach for middle school team in the 2010 year, did not receive payment for services.  Further discussion to be tabled until next meeting.

New Business:  Jay brought up concern for lawnmower catcher system.  The current system we have does not have large capacity and takes many unloads to finish job.  He spoke with Athens Farm & Turf about new system.  Per Athens Farm representative, the system we currently have could be resold for $2000.  The system that would best suit our needs cost $3000.  If we could sell our current system and get the new one it would only cost $1000.  Motion made by T. Logan to accept bid for equipment.  Darren Newsom seconds, voted in unanimously.  Jay will take care of this.

Jay also would like to put in long range goals to replace camera that was damaged by weather.  Also, he would like to see us get an equipment trailer for away games.  Both of these discussions were tabled for next meeting.

Coach Holt reports the Kubota needs repair.  Jay is going to take care of this.
