SHEFFIELD — After an exhilarating victory over cross-county rival West Limestone last week, Elkmont was poised to win back-to-back games for the first time since beating Ardmore and West Morgan in the first two weeks.
Instead of earning a much-needed victory in the push for one of four playoff berths in Class 3A, Region 8, the Red Devils succumbed to Sheffield Friday night 28-7.
Sheffield (5-1, 4-0) is tied atop the region standings with Rogers, while Elkmont is battling for fourth place with Colbert County, which also has a 2-2 region mark.
Sophomore Hugo Hernandez put the Red Devils on the scoreboard late in the fourth quarter with a 3-yard touchdown run as the Bulldogs managed to contain Elkmont senior quarterback Hayden Huseth.
Elkmont (3-3, 2-2) will host Danville Friday in region play.
