This was clearly a match up of David vs. Goliath. Tonight, David didn't have his slingshot as the story in the good book goes. Hats off to the Generals though. Although outmatched, and virtually having no chance, these kids never gave up. Corbin is just on another level. When Corbin is on, you may find 4 or 5 teams that can challenge them in the state. Jackson County is breaking in a new staff and a new rotation. Brighter days will be ahead for them. I remember Coach Truitt when he played and I have no doubt he'll have Jackson contending for the 49th in short time. Although they were never a powerhouse, Keith Hays was a fine coach. Truitt learned from him.

 

Tonight was a fun game to watch if you were from Corbin. As stated earlier, when arguably the best player in the region scores 4 points and plays limited minutes and you win by 66 which easily could have been more, you have a dangerous ball club. I was impressed with Josh Smith. He was like Jodie Meeks tonight and the rim had to look like tossing ping pong balls into a swimming pool. You know what you are getting from the starters. The bench impressed me. Blake Hendrickson and Luke Stewart played excellent off the bench as did Caleb Watkins. I think Watkins can bring that football toughness to the Hounds as Brad Lawson and Clint Cashen did in the past. He'll be able to rough people up and overpower folks once he gets into the swing of things. The Hopkins kid is another player that will be a force before it's all said and done. He has the size of Crawford and touch of Johnson. Unfortunately, experience trumps all of that. His time is coming though. Look out for him.

 

Agreed. I think by Tourny time, both Watkins and Hopkins will be able to give Coach P some valuable minutes that will help the Hounds and be playing on Saturday in RUPP. You must have 8 or 9 players to depend on in Tournament play to advance.

Wow! Corbin is on fire right now.

 

 

Yup! We knew this one would be bad though.:ylsuper:

I would say that Corbin is very dangerous now and has the potential to be very lethal.

 

Well said!
