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.

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
Davis Hobbs led with 19 points
Patrick Jobman added 16 points
Ben Hobbs scored 10
