RED DEVILS NOT ABLE TO GET BY TIGERS

Coach Dennis Black took over the Elkmont program several years ago.  His efforts to instill his philosophy and work ethic into his players finally bore fruit this year.  

The Red Devils improved throughout the year and reached the sub-regional for the first time since Garth Garris' 2012 team.  Elkmont wasn't able to get over the final hurdle for a spot in the the Northwest Regional but did finish with a 17-13 record for this season.

Lauderdale County 55, Elkmont 41 
The Elkmont side of the gym was packed to watch the their team match up with the Lauderdale County Tigers.  The Red Devils came out tight and their normal play wasn't to be found. Mistakes, lack of rebounds and shots that rolled off the rim led to the Red Devils being behind 31-14 at the half. 

However, Elkmont regrouped and seemed to find their rhythm.  As so often this season, they clawed back into the game, trimming the margin to 39-31 after three quarters.  

The Elkmont faithful thought that perhaps, just perhaps, the Red Devils might be able to pull the game out of the hat one more time. However, it was not to be and the Tigers were able to pull away in the final minutes for the win.
