The "Buckin' Elks" of Elkin High School won their fifth 1A state championship football game today. The Elks have won 4 of the last 5 state championship games!
The contest was held today at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The Elks faced the Manteo Redskins. Manteo fielded a great team, one of the best that the Elks have faced this year. Unfortunately, the Manteo Redskins were a predominately running team. While the run was what catapulted them to the state championship game, it was not enough to overcome an amazingly good Elkin team. By halftime the score was 21-7 in Elkin's favor and the Redskins were forced to go to the air to try to score some points. Their passing game never amounted to much and the Elks prevailed 28-7 to win their fourth title game in the last five years!
Congrats to another great Elkin High School football team.

Wes don't forget that the Appalachian State University Mountaineers are going to the NATIONAL double A Championship for the second time in a row! And while they will have quite a game on their hands against UMass after the whooping they put on Youngstown yesterday I am pretty sure they will be walking away with another National Championship! It brought back TONS of memories being able to watch both playoff games on ESPN and ESPN2! Memories of sitting on the porch of the Stadium apt after a hard day on Grandfather drinkin' beer with my best friend Wes.... Miss you guys!!
