FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS START TOMORROW

Ten miles. That is about how much distance separates the campuses at Ardmore High and Elkmont.  Being that close means there are few strangers in the two communities. A few of the football players are related. Lots of them are friends.

And when the two schools lineup for the 69th kickoff, one of Limestone County’s oldest rivalries, as usual, emotions will run high.   Elkmont travels to Ardmore tomorrow, with kickoff scheduled for 7 p.m. The rivals have been playing football since 1936, with Ardmore owning a 42-26 series lead, according to the Alabama High School Football Historical Society’s website.  Elkmont lost 24 straight from 1939 to 1973( did not play in the 40's and 1954).

Each year we look forward to this game.  This is always one of our biggest games.  The stands will be packed. Almost everyone from both communities will be there. The atmosphere will be electric — what high school football is all about.

The game will be broadcast on WSLV 1110 AM  or  click on link to wslvradio.com 

Look for a preview of the Ardmore Tigers tomorrow in the Elkmont Football Blog.
