Elkmont 1 (9/10) went into yesterday's game knowing that East Limestone is always tough - especially on their home court. But, the Red Devils began to believe an upset was possible when they led 8-3 after the first quarter.
Strong rebounding by Blake Brown and Colby Murphy triggered point guard Jedidiah Sutherland's 15 fast break points as Elkmont 1 upended East Limestone 3 by a final score of 22-19. When East Limestone rallied in the fourth quarter to trim Elkmont's lead to three, the Red Devils played smart basketball, showing a confidence and swagger that sent the message that they would not be denied.
Elkmont 1 has two games next Saturday to end the regular season, playing Ardmore 1 at 1:00 pm and East Limestone 1 in a makeup game at 3:00 pm.
