ELKMONT LOCKS OUT EAST 2 INDIANS

With a balanced running and passing attack, the Elkmont Midgets beat the East 2 Indians 19 - 0.  Elkmont consistently moved the ball on Brody Eckstein's pounding runs up the middle and the usual speedsters picking up yards along the sidelines.   Masin Morris got into the endzone first on a short run, allowing Elkmont to take a 6-0 lead into halftime. East 2 kicked off to start the second half.  Josh Burrows' 60 yard kickoff return sprung by a huge block from Jacob Rhineheimer, capped off by Isaiah Sutherland's extra point, put the Red Devils up 13-0. In the fourth quarter, Blake Brown ran untouched into the endzone for the final score.  

On the other side of the ball, the spirited Red Devil defense dominated the line of scrimmage, consistently pressuring the quarterback and tackling the Indians' backs for losses.  After the game, the coaches credited the improved play of the offensive line for the victory.  The Midgets' next game is against the Tanner Rattlers at 4:00 pm on 10/19 at Athens Middle School.
