The Elkmont Red Devils played the George Washington Carver Cobras (803 students) in their second game in the Seymour, Tennesse Christmas Tournament, Dec. 28. The Cobras sported a roster of talented run, jump athletes, much like the Tanner Rattlers. The Cobra point guard, Clarence Wilson, is the quickest and best point guard the Red Devils have played this year. After a mostly half court game for three quarters, Elkmont turned up the intensity in the fourth quarter. Starting at 2:29 left in the game, the Devils made a run and closed a ten point lead (50 - 50) on a Hayden Huseth three point shot at 9.6 seconds left on the clock. Elkmont was whistled for a foul and the Cobras went to the line with three seconds left, sinking 2 for 2 freethrows. Skyler Gant flew up the court and threw up a last second shot that banged off the backboard but didn't score as the Red Devils lost 52 - 50. Skyler Gant turned in his best game of the season with 19 points, 3 assists and 7 rebounds. Cole Glass had 12 points and 9 rebounds and Daniel Logan, 10 points and 6 rebounds.
