David Goodwin / For TPI Elmore County Running back Tyler Payton avoids a tackle and takes one to the house last week against Clay Central. Payton will lead the Panthers against Marbury on Friday night.
Because Marbury sits just outside Elmore County lines, this game has become somewhat of a rivalry match for the ECHS Panthers’ football team.
After playing a long stretch against each other in the 1970s, the rivalry was put on hold until recently. But the teams have met up every year since 2022 — with Elmore County getting the best of Marbury in all four of those matchups — and this year there’s even more at stake.
