ANOTHER MIDDLE SCHOOL CHAMPIONSHIP COMES TO ELKMONT

The Elkmont Middle School Volleyball team burned through its schedule this fall. Their success earned them the top spot in the Limestone County Middle School Tournament. 

First team on the chopping block was the West Limestone Lady Wildcats. The Lady Devils treed them with a big win before moving on to the East Limestone team in the winners' bracket. After a win against the Lady Indians, they waited to see which team would meet them in the finals.  East Limestone won the final match in the losers' bracket to earn a trip back to the Limestone County Championships against  the waiting Lady Devils. 

East would have to beat Elkmont twice for the championship. We dropped the first match to East, setting up the deciding match for the County Championship.

Elkmont regrouped and sent the Lady Indians home with the second place trophy.  The first place trophy and the Lady Devils returned to the Hilltop as the 2016 Limestone County Champions. 

Let me tell you these girls played their hearts out! They never gave up!! And let me add they have one big support group! We may have sounded like fools but buddy we cheered these girls on! Between their heart and spirit and the support we gave them in the stands they are unbeatable! So thank you to all the parents and fans for supporting our girls!!!
