Corbin 64 Rockcastle Co. 54

[4chs]

Corbin beat a very physical Rockcastle team tonight. The hounds are going to have to start playing more physical as it appears that the opposition is really making a concerted effort to play that way against them.

 

I thought that Deke Barley played very well for Corbin tonight and is really pushing for more playing time.

Nice, solid win.

What did Colby Brown do? He lit up North Laurel on Friday with a 27-point second half (34 total).

Corbin needs to put games away..........

[WILDMAN]

I thought it was a good game overall but one of those games that was close yet never in doubt. Rock had some runouts that led to baskets but other than that, it was pretty much Corbin's game. Good game tonight from Barley as 4chs mentioned. French and Tate also didn't play too shabby. Crawford was the difference though. Corbin goes as Crawford goes. It's good to see the others stepping up to help him out though. As great of a player as he is, it still takes 5 guys to defend a title.

What did Colby Brown do? He lit up North Laurel on Friday with a 27-point second half (34 total).

 

He scored 20 with 8-10 of those coming off of steals when Corbin made some lazy cross-court passes that he got into the passing lane on and converted into layups. He also likes to release early when a shot goes up and was able to score a basket or two that way also. Crawford guarded him for much of the game and he was able to keep him from penetrating while still contesting all of his outside shots, which seemed to really frustrate Brown.

 

The Mullins kid who had missed the last 3-4 games with an injury is a pretty good guard and he gave Corbin some problems with his penetration.

 

Rockcastle appears down compared to the previous 5-6 years though.

I would have to agree. They dominated the 13th region for quite a while, but this season they would be lucky to even make it out of their district.

Agreed. They are still capable of an occasional upset, but with Brown as their only real weapon, they're a pretty middle-of-the-road team and definitely a few notches back from what they have been.
