RED DEVILS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL CHAMPIONSHIP

The Red Devils beat ABS 8-3 last night. Ekmont will be playing in the finals but will have to beat Ardmore twice since the Tigers are undefeated in tournament play.  This will test the young Devils' pitching depth.  The other eight players on the field are going to need to put together a solid defense to beat Ardmore.  The games will start at 4:30 pm.

If you want to come and cheer on the Red Devils, the tournament is being played in Ardmore. They will play Ardmore at 4:30 today for championship.

MIDDLE SCHOOL RED DEVIL EXCITEMENT

HELICOPTER LANDS IN ELKMONT BASEBALL FIELD

The Middle School 

baseball team was 

scheduled to go to 

Athens Bible School 

yesterday for a 

double header.  

Games were moved 
to Elkmont at the last 

minute because the ABS 

field was too wet from 

the inches of rain we 

were blessed with on 

Monday.

The Red Devils roared out the gate and  won 

16 to 8 in the first game of the double header.

The second game was also looking really good 
for another win to be added to the middle school 
record.  We were winning 10 to 3 in 

the bottom of 4th when all the excitement happened.  
An ump got hit by a foul ball. He started having 

seizures and 911 was called and med flight landed

in center field.

(He chose go to hospital via ambulance though). 

Needless to say game was called.

Elkmont will be traveling to Riverside for another

double header tomorrow, March 21.  

Hopefully, no helicopters.

RED DEVILS LOSE TO WESTMINSTER IN REGIONAL PLAY

 The Red Devils traveled to Westminster, March 19 for an area match-up.  The previous day's game (regional play is a best 2 out 3 series) was a rainout at Elkmont.  Westminster took both games (6-4) and (6-5) so Elkmont drops down into the bottom of the Area 15 ranking.  They are in a tough area this year with Madison Academy, West Morgan, and Westminister Christian.  No word yet if the games (Varsity/JV) rained out on Monday will be rescheduled.  With the forecasted wet spring and the short baseball season, it is doubtful.
