Corbin already had a good defense, but the arrival of the Smith twins defintely put it in a different gear. They can drop more players back in coverage now.

The Smith twins flipped from Michigan to UK right after the game.

I predicted that Corbin would give them all they wanted and everyone acted like I was crazy.

Learned something new then. 

Congratulations Corbin!!! 

Don’t listen to any more of my predictions.

How long ago because in 1982 when we visited, they were red/white. But hey, that’s the new red I guess.

It’s late so I can’t be certain that I looked at everything correctly, but this is the first time Frederick Douglass was shut out since the very first game in the school’s history, correct?

Correct. Douglass played their first game against defending 2A runner-up Danville in their program lid-lifter and lost 36-0. Excluding a few cancellations due to COVID-19 in 2020, 2021, and another illness forfeit in by Lafeyette in 2022, the Mustangs have only been held to 7 points in losses to Cov Cath in the 2019 state finals and to Boyle County in 2021, and then held to 6 points by Archishop Hoban (OH) this season. Otherwise they have never been shut out. Tonight was the second time they have ever been shut out.

Congrats to Corbin. Big win!

I have seen a Corbin High School yearbook from the late 1930s and it was call The Maroon. Their colors were Maroon and White. I don't know when they were changed to Red and White.

Corbin has been the Redhounds as far back as November 18, 1939. This is their 100th football season, so it may well pre-date 1939.
