Big Win for the Hounds on the road.

Congratulations Hounds!!!!!

Big Win for the Hounds on the road.

 

Congrats to the Hounds. Closer than I thought it would be. Any details?

Akins had an outstanding game for Whitley. I believe he scored 22 points. Dee Butcher played well off the bench with 11 points. Redhounds were led by Wilson with 22 and Johnson with 18. Colonels dominated the boards with the absence of Aaron Manns for Corbin. Turnovers probably were the difference in the game. Whitley had 17 whereas Corbin had 8. Very physical, brutal game with contact on many shots and lots of hand checking, etc. It was difficult for either team to get much a rhythm on offense and both teams shot less than 50 percent from the field.

Alot closer than I thought it would be! I think we missed big Manns. I'm in Berea and just caught the ending on the radio.

Thanks for the info. What type of defence does Whitley Co play?

Mostly man to man. They are really, really good on the defensive side of the ball......GRC should give them matchup fits due to the size of the Cards.

Yes. If Corbin beats South on the 26th, the seeding will likely be:

 

1. Corbin

2. South Laurel

3. Whitley

4. Williamsburg

Whitley's biggest player is about 6'4. Cards should be able use that to their advantage. I doubt the game will be as physical as the contest tonight since it is played at GRC?

Glad we will have the home court advantage...

Yes, the 50th District seeds.

If they have refs who call a normal game it will be less physical. This game looked like a roller derby match at times. Whitley gets after you and when the refs have dates it can get rough. Both teams played very hard and it was a nice win by Corbin.

I would agree that Whitley is very agressive defensively, but if you are implying that Whitley received help from the officials I would have to strongly disagrree. Corbin shot many more free throws than did Whitley. There were several instances of fouls (elbows) from Corbin that went uncalled, When it looked like Whitley was making a run, actually they were on a run, Dee Butcher had a 3 and then a steal and bucket, the officials called a phantom foul on Daniels who was no where near the play which sent Wilson to the free throw line. Corbin only had 1 or 2 field goals in the third quarter but still managed to extend their lead from the free throw line.

 

I am not saying that Corbin got every call, but the reference to the officials wanting to get out of the game is way off the mark. Corbin is the best team in the 13th region without a doubt and basicly what I am hearing is that no team should get up in their grills and play hard defense. They took Corbin out of their game and made it ugly, but that is what they had to do to give themselves a chance to win. The difference is that Corbin has two guys who can get a bucket when they need one and Whitley lacks those types of players.

Why no Manns for Corbin?
