TRINITY — Elkmont's plan to stifle West Morgan's dynamic Brandon Roberts was, for the most part, a success in the opening round of the Class 3A, Area 15 tournament.

Unfortunately for the Red Devils, the Rebels aren't a one-man show.

With Elkmont's double-team limiting Roberts to an uncharacteristically low 10 points, the Rebels got double-figure efforts from three other players in a 70-44 victory that advanced the host team to Monday's championship game against Madison Academy.

The win also secures West Morgan a berth in next week's sub-regional round.

Using a combination of double-team pressure and a stingy box-and-one defense, Elkmont kept the high-scoring Roberts in check for most of the game. Without their leading scorer's usual production rolling in, the Rebels got 16 points and six assists from Grant Workman and 11 points from J.T. Kirby. Dustin Morgan added 10 points and 11 rebounds.

Bryant Wales had a game-high 24 points in the loss for Elkmont.

Tip-off for Monday's championship game is set for 7 p.m.
