The Red Devil Midgets bounced back from back-to-back losses to Athens with a 13-0 victory over the Tanner Rattlers last Saturday, improving their record to 3-3. Elkmont’s defense dominated the Rattlers, keeping Tanner’s big linemen in check and eliminating Tanner’s running game. Elkmont’s first touchdown was scored by running back Xavier Watkins as he carried most of Tanner’s defensive linemen into the end zone on a powerful run up the middle, reminding the Alabama fans in the stands of a young Trent Richardson. A quick snap count resulted in an easy touchdown for speedy Isaiah Sutherland on a quarterback keeper, with Watkins scoring the extra point. While he did not make it into the endzone, Elkmont’s top offensive producer against Tanner was Masin Morris. Morris, normally a standout on defense, used his quick feet and slashing running style to move Elkmont down the field, setting up both of Elkmont’s touchdowns.
The Midgets’ last game is this Saturday, 12:30 pm, at Ardmore Park against Ardmore.
