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.

SOFTBALL FUNDRAISER WAS A SUCCESS

The softball players of our 12U youth softball 
team, Elkmont 1 had a great fundraiser

last night at Pizza Inn in Ardmore.   

Everyone who came (and there were lots and 

lots of you) get a big shout out from the girls.  
They appreciate your patience with the chaos 
and willingness to come out and support them. 

Pizza Inn was overwhelmed by the huge crowd 

and often there was standing room only. However 

you still came, laughed, visited, and ate good pizza.  

Pizza Inn had agreed to let the girls work and in 

return our softball players got 10% of last night's 

gross sales and all tips.  Elkmont 1 ended up with 

$510 at the end of the night to go toward their uniforms.


Elkmont people are the best!!!!!
