Elkmont (2-0, 1-0) recovered a final Brooks onside attempt with just over two minutes left and ran out the clock for the win. Jared Bailey led Elkmont with 83 yards and three touchdowns on nine carriers.
For Brooks (1-1, 0-1), quarterback Tyce Thomas passed for 194 yards and added 75 yard rushing. He passed for two touchdowns and ran for a third.
Elkmont lead 27-0 at the half and 41-7 to start the fourth quarter.
“It’s hard to fight back when you get that far down,” Brooks coach Jerry Hill said. “Elkmont is big and strong and we felt we could use our speed against them. We finally started doing that in the fourth, but it was too late. I am proud of the way our kids fought back.”
Bailey got the game’s first two touchdowns with runs of 27 and 23 yards. A 47-yard run by Mike Tucker, who was later injured, and a 9-yard run by Bailey pushed the lead to 27-0 at the half.
Elkmont’s lead grew to 34-0 on a 39-yard run by Eli Hobbs. Jordan Nelson’s 2-yard run made it 41-0 with 2:59 left in the third. Brooks
finally ended the scoring drought with 40 seconds left in the third
when Thomas passed 26 yards to Kolton Medley for a touchdown. Joe Gurley kicked the extra point.
After a Elkmont punt, Braden Tank scored on a 3-yard run. Brooks
then recovered the first of two onside kicks with 9:33 to play. Thomas
scored on a 14-yard run, and after the second onside kick was recovered,
Austin Moore ran in from 5 yards out.
Following
an Elkmont punt, Thomas passed 27 yards to Lazarius Decatur on fourth
down and 15 to get Brooks within 41-35. But Elkmont finally recovered
the onside kick and ran out the clock to secure the win.

He went to Huntsville hospital. Everything checked out fine..he had got some tingling in his neck right when he got hit and it went right away.
Mike's X-rays were good. He has been released and is heading to Elkmont to join his team mates! God is good!!
