Valdez is a stat machine

Elkins Antonio Valdez is on schedule for another huge year. He’s on pace to rush for more than 1,200 yards and score 20 touchdowns after finding paydirt 20 times last year. I wish he was my fantasy football running back. He’d be good for at least 25 points every week.

Friday Night Forecast

It’s a beautiful day in the Ozarks and it’s going to be a fabulous night for football.

Drew Clark will be the starter for Elkins at quarterback when the Elks travel to Huntsville Friday night.

The forecast is calling for temperatures to be a muggy 81 degrees at kickoff with scattered thundershowers.
So be sure to take a raincoat, poncho, rain boot and a hat [...]

Elks, Cards bounce back

Elkins and Farmington each dropped their openers after falling in big holes.
The Class 4A Cardinals lost to Class 5A Siloam Springs last week but will clash with Class 4A Ozark this Friday. It’s a match the Cards could and probably should win. Ozark, the No. 5 team in Hooten’s Class 4A preseason poll, is down [...]
