The varsity sports are having their
June summer play dates. The sports seasons overlap to such an extent
that the multiple sport athlete doesn't have any time to practice before
the next sport so the June practice dates are crucial to help the
players learn how to play together.
Elkmont men's basketball has been busy.
The Varsity played 3 games Tuesday at Clements and went 1-2 beating
Lexington and losing to Clements and Phil Campbell (no blow outs though)
and JV beat Clements. Thursday they played at Lexington and again
Varsity went 1-2 beating Central Florence and losing to Colbert Co and
Lexington.
JV also went 1-2 beating Lexington and
losing to Colbert County and Central Florence. Again, all games were
close games. The team leaves today for team camp in Jackson, Tennessee.
