ELKMONT JUST MISSES CATCHING THE GOLD

The Elkmont Lady Devils played in the 2016 Limestone County Tournament in Ardmore over the weekend.  Games started on Friday. Elkmont won the first game in a late night stand.  The Lady Devils seized victory thanks to late home run, drop Clements, 7-4. 

Elkmont was back in Ardmore on Saturday for a lunch game against the first seeded East Limestone.  Rebekah Inman's big day wasn't enough as Elkmont Red Devils Varsity fell to East Limestone, 6-5 in the semi-finals.

With the Lady Devils win, it all came down this one final game between last year's champion and our Elkmont team.  

Riding on the momentum of the earlier game, the Lady Devils jumped out to a 6-0 run before East started to put runs on the board in the third.  The Lady Indians were able to get that final run in the bottom of the seventh that put them over the top for the 2016 Limestone County Championship.

Wow, what a weekend!! Bekah hit 4 home runs, a grand slam, 3 run homer, 2 run homer and a solo shot in 3 games. Needless to say, she was intentionally walked six times in the two championship games. The one time they didn't send her to first, she hit a double. That's twelve home runs this season. Lady Red Devils played their hearts out wining runner-up in the county tournament.
