GAME SUMMARY:The Elkmont Middle Devils played their hearts out Monday night at Boss Hill stadium and earned a hard fought win for their first home game. EMS kicked off and the defense forced a fumble at midfield. The Devil offense wasted no time to go up 6-0 with 1:48 in the first. Tanner made it 6-6 with 4:58 left in the half. The Devil offense fumbled and Tanner scored again to make it 12-6 at halftime.
The Devil offense took the opening kick in the third and drove to tie it at 12 with 5:58 in the third. The Devil D forced a punt, but the offense couldn't move the ball and was forced to punt and the third quarter ended 12-12. The Devil D held to start the fourth but our offense stalled and was forced to punt. The punt was blocked and Tanner took advantage of it and scored to go up 20-12 with 2:43 in the fourth. The Devil offense quickly drove to score and convert the PAT to tie the game at 20 with 2 minutes left. The Devil D forced another punt and regulation ended 20-20.
Overtime:The Devil offense punched it in and converted the PAT to go up 28-20. The Devil D then held Tanner on four downs to earn the victory.
OBSERVATIONS:
The Devil Line ,anchored all season by Wilson at center, Garrett and Stover at guards and Riggs and Turner at tackles, fought hard against an oversized defensive line that put enormous pressure on them. But they hung together and opened holes for Pankey and Hobbs to run thru and provided enough time for Nelson to connect on passes to Moss and Hobbs. Some timely halftime adjustments gave a boost to both the offensive line and the defense. Once again the Devils seemed to be confident, focused, and were executing at a high level. That makes the Devils 3 and 1 on the season with Ardmore and Clements remaining in the regular season. Keep working hard Devils, listen to your coaches, get better and stronger from each outing and we look forward to seeing ya'll against Ardmore.
