High school basketball season starts at Elkmont tonight. Moving up to 4A this year, puts new teams into the Red Devils' area. These teams are East Lawrence, Brooks and long time rival, West Limestone. Last year's boys varsity coach, Jason Wright, has left. Judson Meadows will be turning the page on this new chapter in Red Devil basketball.
Coach Meadows grew up in Leggtown, just up the road from Elkmont. He attended West Limestone High School and had a great basketball career. He continued his basketball career at Northwest Shoals Community College. Meadows is committed to making Elkmont his coaching home. He looks forward to being part of the local rivalries and Hilltop school spirit. One of his goals is to be very involved with the youth basketball program and work with future Red Devils as well as the high school program.
Elkmont fans can look for an exciting brand of basketball this year when the Red Devils take the floor. Coach Meadows wants to use a physical man to man and zone pressure to establish an aggressive defense. A run and gun, high speed offense will take advantage of the the defensive turnovers. As long as the Red Devils are able to keep their turnovers down and play smart, they should be fun to watch. The high school teams start their seasons tonight as the Clements Colts visit the Hilltop. The slate of games start at 4 pm with the JV girls game. Following games will start about 15 minutes after each game ends.
