ELKMONT JV GIRLS ON THE WINNING TRACK

The Elkmont JV Lady Devils softball team hosted a game vs the Ardmore Lady Tigers.  In a cool but clear day, Elkmont won the first game, 3 - 1.  They then added another win at the Clements Lady Colts' expense, 6 - 1. Hoping to get a post by a JV softball reporter later this week.  In the meanwhile, some great pictures of both teams from Down Home Portraits. 

 
The JV team plays next at East Limestone on March 4.

5th INNING DOUBLE GIVES ELKMONT WIN

After seven lead changes in February 25th game at Westminster, Elkmont Middle School finally pulled out a 8-6 win over Westminster.

	1	2	3	4	5	6	R	H	E
ELKMONT	1	0	3	2	2	0	8	8	4
WESTMINISTER	2	0	2	0	2	0	6	3	1

Game Notes:
Elkmont Middle School held off Westminster , as Westminster was unable to overcome a four-run fifth inning deficit. Hunter got the win for Elkmont Middle School. He allowed two runs over two innings. He struck out two, walked one and surrendered one hit. Phillip Norman relieved Hunter and picked up the save.

Elkmont's leading batters were Hunter Pitman and Login Griffin with two doubles each. Matt Sims had two singles, Clay Hunt and Jim Dawson contributed with a single each.

The Red Devils will play at East Limestone, March 4 @ 4:30 pm

This is what the average Elkmont fan looks like during February Baseball Games.  Did I mention that baseball shouldn't be played in February unless you  live 200 miles to the south?
