ELKMONT WINS TWO IN THANKSGIVING TOURNEY

Elkmont's Thanksgiving tournament was a round robin format.  One day was lost because of a weather scare, so Elkmont only played two games.  The Red Devils stayed undefeated with a 63-32 win over Riverside Christian Academy and a 56-44 win over Pope John Paul II High School.  


Against Riverside, Cole Glass and Hayden Huseth led the way.  Glass had 16 points, 9 rebounds and Huseth had 17 points.  Against John Paul II (Huntsville Catholic), Huseth had 17 points, Glass had 12 and Daniel Logan had a double-double of 18 points and 12 rebounds.  Box scores are available at the Elkmont Basketball Blog.

Observations:
The Red Devils are playing very well and look like a determined team on a mission.  Their team defense is the strength of the team and their shooting is surprisingly good for this early in the season.  Matthew Barnes and Bryant Wales are playing well off the bench.

Predictions:
This week Elkmont hosts Athens Bible School on Monday and Clements on Tuesday.  They travel to West Limestone on Friday.  Clements is the first area game and it is very important to get off to good start in the area.  The Dust Devil predicts a 20+  point win over ABS; a tough but solid win over Clements; and a 5 point loss to West Limestone on the road.
