The Midgets finished their season with an exclamation point, defeating rival Ardmore 20-6. The Red Devils dominated on defense, forcing four Tiger turnovers. Xavier Watkins and Joe Joe Russell each had an interception, and the Red Devils recovered two fumbles.
Elkmont’s first possession resulted in a quick touchdown on a long run down the sideline by Watkins. On Ardmore’s next possession, defensive end Josh Burrows recovered a fumble deep in Ardmore territory to set up Elkmont’s second touchdown on a run up the middle by quarterback Isaiah Sutherland. Watkins ran for his second touchdown before half-time, and the extra point by Skyler Morris resulted in a 20-0 half-time lead. Ardmore’s lone score came late in the game, but the extra point was denied when the Tiger running back was cut down by Burrows in the back field. Afterwards, the coaches congratulated the offensive line for a tremendous performance, especially in the first half, and praised the defense as a whole for its physical play against Ardmore and throughout the season.
The Midgets ended their season with a record of 4-3, recording victories against Clements, West Limestone, Tanner, and Ardmore. Their only losses were to East Limestone and Athens. The Midget All-Star game is scheduled for November 10, 2012, at 4:00 pm.
Masin Morris, Isaiah Sutherland, Coby Scroggins, Ben Hanback, Xavier Watkins, James Walts, Joe Joe Russell, and Nicholas Black played their last game as Midgets, dominating Ardmore 20-6.
