HOW DID ELKMONT BASKETBALL DO LAST WEEK?

Christmas Break is happening here on the Hilltop and the kiddos are enjoying several day off.  However, our basketball teams were busy this week. The Varsity teams were playing in the Richmond Christmas Tournament as the JV and Middle School teams were at the Ardmore X-Mas Tournaments.

JV Girls:
Had a great tournament and our ladies beat Clements in the first game.  They came back the next day and caged the Lady Tigers for the championship.

VARSITY GIRLS:
Coach Wallace Thoughts: 
We’ve spent Christmas Break working to find our identity and what we are good at doing. We are starting to piece that together. I’m proud of our kids.
  
Elkmont 37, Fayetteville 35
Emeril Hand had a game-high 17 points as Elkmont defeated Fayetteville in the Richland Christmas Tournament in Tennessee. Haven Kirby added 10 points for the Red Devils, who led 20-15 at the half.

Richland 57; Elkmont  46

Ardmore 63, Elkmont 47
Haven Kirby scored 17; Emeril Hand had 13.  

MIDDLE SCHOOL GIRLS:
As often is the case, players move up as the season progresses.  Our middle school team faced the same situation.  Five of their players played up in the JV tournament.  The Lady Devils will need a few games to adjust.  However, in the Ardmore X-Mas Tournament, they lost to Lindsay Lane  and West Morgan.

MIDDLE SCHOOL BOYS @ Ardmore X-Mas Tournament
COACH SUTTON'S THOUGHTS:
The team put together three wins with a focused, disciplined effort that got us to the championship.  We made too many unforced errors in the final game against West Morgan to come away with a win.  We have had a good season but this loss does show where we need to improve to make a run at the County Championship next month.

HAVEN KIRBY - PLAYER OF THE WEEK

The Decatur Daily newspaper has a contest each week recognizing the players that have outstanding performances on the basketball court. It is called the Fans' Players of the Week.  The nominees are voted on throughout the week.  One young woman and man are chosen by the highest votes.  The voting continued to Tuesday, December 12.  Our Haven Kirby was selected as the Player of the Week.

 

The junior guard scored in double figures in three games last week, including 28 points in a win over Clements. "She leads us in scoring, assists and steals,” Coach Sam Wallace said. “She sets the tempo of the game with her energy. She's very difficult to guard because of her quickness, but she is a team kid. Very unselfish.”

ELKMONT BOYS AT LINDSAY LANE


The Elkmont Red Devils started their 2018-19  season at Lindsay Lane Christian Academy.   In the last game of the night, varsity boys tipped off against the Lions.  Lindsay Lane led 21-12 after the first quarter but Elkmont controlled the second with a 19-10 run. Senior guard Davis Hobbs led the change and finished with 27 points on 9-of-15 shooting. He made six of his nine three-point attempts, including a buzzer beater at the end of the half.

Hobbs recently rejoined the team after playing football all season. Elkmont finished its football season Friday, and Hobbs was in the gym Saturday working with the team.
“He’s one of our senior leaders,” Elkmont coach Eric Smith said. “We look to him to lead us. He had a good year for us last year.”

Coming out of halftime, Elkmont jumped out to a 10-point lead, but Murr led the Lions back with a nine-point surge to pull Lindsay Lane within one at the end of the third quarter. Elkmont and Lindsay Lane battled throughout the fourth quarter.  However, the Red Devils came up short at the buzzer, losing 68-61


The Elkmont JV boys team came away with a season opening win.

ELKMONT GIRLS WIN BIG IN SEASON OPENER

Elkmont girls 68, Lindsay Lane 35
Elkmont girls basketball started off the season on a strong note with a dominant 33-point win over the Lions. The Red Devils were led by Haven Kirby, who scored 16 points while also putting up seven assists and six rebounds. Maggie Gant also had a big night for Elkmont, scoring 15 points and grabbing 11 rebounds. Elkmont dominated almost every portion of the game.


Elkmont coach Sam Wallace was not sure how his team would perform. He believes the emphatic win will help this team build confidence.
“Our program needs this,” Wallace said. “They don’t think they’re good, but they are good. They’re my kids, and I love them.”

LADY DEVILS AT CAMP


Our Lady Red Devils have been hard at work this month getting ready for the 2017/18 season.  Yes, our various sports programs have play dates, camps, workouts and more during June to develop the talents of our young athletes.  The varsity girls coach, Samuel Wallace, held practices for two weeks earlier in June and now has taken the team to the Birmingham Southern Basketball Team Camp on the 22nd and 23th for 3 games on Friday and 3 games on Saturday.



Coach Wallace's Thoughts
Friday:
We went 0-3 today. Lost by 1 at the buzzer to Section who went to the sweet 16 last season. Lost by 10 to Paxton from Florida who were the state champs in their classification last season. Lost by 15 to Slocomb from south Alabama. Girls played really hard. Very proud of their defensive effort. You have to crawl before you can walk. They are learning to compete.

Saturday:
Our team went 1-2 today; 1-5 overall. Kids played very hard all day. It's been a great 2 days of learning to compete. The future is bright.

ELKMONT WINS TVBA CHAMPIONSHIP


The backbone of a successful high school sports program doesn't start at the high school level, or even the middle school level.  It starts at a younger age with youth ball programs.  The traditional powers have feeder systems including travel ball that develop youngsters into players.  The Elkmont area had a fifth grade team that has done well this season.  Last Saturday, they defeated the Sheffield Bulldogs in the Tennessee Valley Basketball Association Final Four Championship game, 31-30. Corder Hobbs and Landon Smith had 11 points. Curtis Hobbs had 6 points and Keaton Wallace finished with 3 points.

ELKMONT IS GOING TO WALLACE STATE THIS SATURDAY


The Hilltop boys rose to the occasion, in front of a roaring crowd at the Elkmont gymnasium, to punch the Red Devils' ticket to the Northwest Regional tournament. With a strong defense and a flurry of late free throws  Elkmont wouldn't be denied the 51-34 win over the Carbon Hill Bulldogs on February 13.



Elkmont coach Dennis Black and his players were ecstatic about the win.“We're going to enjoy the next 24 hours and let the kids enjoy this moment,” Black said. “We haven't looked that far ahead (to Hanceville) yet.”

Carbon Hill hit a 3-pointer at the end of the first quarter to knot the score 10-10. Elkmont's Preston Robinson and Layton Smith scored the first six points of the second quarter on back to back 3-pointers and never looked back. Robinson later converted a 3-point play to push the Red Devils' to a 24-17 lead into halftime.



Patrick Jobman nailed a 3-pointer to increase Elkmont's lead to 29-17 early in the third quarter. The fourth quarter started with an Elkmont 34-25  lead. The Bulldogs scored the first points of the fourth quarter to cut the lead to seven points, but Ben Hobbs hit a 3-pointer to extend the lead back out to 10 points, at 37-27. 


In the final three minutes, the Bulldogs tried to get back in the game by the fouling/missing freethrow strategy.  Many a game has been won by forcing the team in the lead to show if they can make freethrows.  However, it didn't work on this night as the Red Devils made a parade to the free throw line. Elkmont made 14 free throws in those final three minutes to extend the lead for the win, 51-34.



Free Throws:  
Elkmont             19/24 - 79%

RED DEVILS WIN AREA 15 CHAMPIONSHIP


Elkmont ran the table the Area 15 basketball tournament last week.  They upset the West Morgan Rebels with a free throw.  Facing a much taller East Lawrence team, the Red Devils showed again that if there is a will, there is a way. 

East Lawrence varsity boys coach Marrieo Davis said Elkmont had the ability to shoot the ball from behind the 3-point line, and that would be a big factor in the game. His words turned out to be a bit prophetic, as the Red Devils had four players combine for 11 treys for the 58-51 victory.



The Eagles sprinted out of the gate with a 12-8 run in the first quarter.  Elkmont scorched East Lawrence in the second period as the Red Devils  heated up from behind the arc in a 13-5 run. The halftime scoreboard showed Elkmont led 21-17 at the break.


Both teams picked up on offense in the second half, with East Lawrence going on a 19-14 run in the third quarter to regain the lead at 36-35. Elkmont wouldn't be denied with four 3-pointers and 23 fourth quarter points. They fried up an Eagle dinner with a win and an area title for the Red Devils

Elkmont Scoring Leaders:
Davis Hobbs led with 19 points  
Patrick Jobman added 16 points
Ben Hobbs scored 10


Elkmont will host Carbon Hill on Tuesday in the Northwest sub-regional. It will be rocking on the Hilltop so don't be late, the game will be at 7 pm.

RED DEVILS ENDS WEST MORGAN'S POSTSEASON HOPES


Elkmont upset the West Morgan Rebels in the Area 15 tournament, February 6.  The second seeded Rebels led by 11 at halftime.  The Red Devils had to put in a strong second-half performance to keep their hopes of a sub-regional appearance alive. 

Freshman Layton Smith poured in four 3-pointers heating up the score board and giving Elkmont the chance to pull of an upset. The comeback was capped by Ben Hobbs, who hit one free throw with 5.4 seconds remaining to break the tie and give the Red Devils the win, 44-43.  “That (free throw) was crazy,” Hobbs said. “I honestly didn't know if it was going to go in, but thank God it did.”

“We never gave up,” Smith said. “Even when we were down, everyone believed we still had a shot. We just stuck with our game plan, played hard and gave ourselves a shot in the fourth quarter. Now we get to play for an area championship. That’s what it’s all about.”


“Layton is a young guy, but he shot it like a veteran,” Elkmont coach Dennis Black said. “Those 3s in the second half were huge. You never would have thought he was a freshman.”

Davis Hobbs finished with 10 points for Elkmont, while Patrick Jobman tossed in nine.

The Red Devils will be playing East Lawrence for the Area 15 Championship at Clements this Friday at 7 pm.  Coach Black and his team will need to come up with an answer for Kendall Cotner, a 6-foot-8 senior center who dominates the paint.  The winner of that game will host a subregional game while the loser will travel for the sub-regional round.

Clements led 20-19 at halftime and led 37-30 after three quarters, but then the game got crazy. Elkmont opened the fourth quarter with an 8-0 run to go up 38-37. The Elkmont faithful were looking for an upset with our team 45-38 leading with 5:03 left to play. However, it wasn't to be and Clements came back for the win, 54-47. Haven Kirby led Elkmont with 21 points as our team wrapped up the 2017-18 season.

ELKMONT IN THE LIMESTONE COUNTY TOURNAMENT

It has been Elkmont's turn to host the Limestone County Basketball Tournament this year. There has been good games, bad calls and some memorable plays.   It looked promising as three of our six teams were seeded second. Unfortunately, Elkmont didn't have a team in any of the finals this year.  So how did our teams do?

VARSITY BOYS: Fifth Seed
Tanner had a strong third quarter to defeat Elkmont, 58-46, in the opening round of the boys Limestone County Tournament on January 22.  Tanner, the tournament's No. 4 seed, led 30-25 at halftime, but outscored the Red Devils, 18-7, in the third quarter to pull away. Patrick Jobman had a big night for Elkmont, scoring 24 points, but no other Red Devils player scored in double figures, with Ben Hobbs being the next highest scorer with nine points.




VARSITY GIRLS: Sixth Seed

 
Elkmont gave the third-seeded Colts all they could handle in the first round of the tournament. Trailing 24-20 early in the third quarter, they went on an 11-0 run to take a 31-24 lead. However, Elkmont's hot 3-point shooting cut the  lead to 37-34 after three quarters. Clements started the fourth quarter strongly to extend the lead back out to 49-38, but Elkmont went on a quick 11-3 run to trim the lead to 52-49 after Raleigh Wallace hit a 3-pointer with 2:15 remaining.  Some no calls, missed shots, and Clements final free throw sealed the Lady Devils fate with a 55-49 loss.


“Elkmont played great, and a lot of credit goes to them,” Zach Meadows said. “They played with a lot of energy. It's their home court, they're hosting the tournament, and they came out with a lot of passion and emotion. I thought they outplayed us a lot of the game.”

The Red Devils 30 points from 3-pointers as a team. Raleigh Wallace led Elkmont with 15 points on five 3-point baskets.  Bailee Vining added 13 points; Haven Kirby tallied 11.


JV GIRLS: Second Seed 

 
*Lost to East Limestone,  49-42

JV BOYS: Second Seed
*Lost to Ardmore, 35-33



MIDDLE SCHOOL GIRLS: Second Seed
Clements galloped by on this one, our Lady Devils lost 30-14.



MIDDLE SCHOOL BOYS: Fifth Seed 
*Lost 40-29 to East Limestone
