Final.

South lead 23-10 early; Corbin lead 56-46 with about a minute left.

Corbin played TERRIBLE! We couldn't hit a foul shot if our life depended on it. If we would have made those we could have won the game by at least 15. Anyway, at this time of the year a win is a win but we better work on the free throws or our stay in the regional tourney will be short.

An ugly win is better than no win at all...If the Hounds continue to find ways to win and SL gets the kind of play from Gilbert and Watkins that they got tonight we could very well see a repeat of last years Regional Championship match-up. Anyway, congrats to the Hounds.

This must been a good game, I think Corbin was suppose to win by more but looks like SL about pulled one off. Heard some people from Laurel county say that this wasn't an upset.

As the tide was starting to turn against the Cards late, Wright said something funny. Thinking one of his players had clearly been fouled, the South Laurel coach spun around and shouted, "Even Stevie Wonder could have seen that foul!" PRICELESS...

 

Wright is an excellent coach. These two teams could well meet again next Sat. in the regional final. The Hounds have won 7 of the last 8 against the Cards.

26 free throws for Corbin, 15 made.......3 for South, 3 made.......margin of victory for Corbin 1 point.

 

I am no mathemagician, but Corbin got a gift.

How has the Freshman Blake Sanders come along this season for SL? He IMO is the best point guard in his class.

The announcer also stated that SL missed 11 three pointers in a row.

Must have been a tough game though from this score, congrats to Corbin.

WOW 11, to a coach thats like a good hard kick in the groin. I mean a shot u practice all year every day. Sounds like players just not showing up more than coaching.

South Laurel was 10 of 17 from the three point line from what I was told. So how in the world could they miss 11 in a row??????????? I listened to the game and the little engine that could is what les likes to call him. He sounded to me like the one to bring the hounds through tonight. Cant believe how a kid so small can just take a game over like he has showed many times this year. CAN ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME THIS!!!!!!!! I have seen Madison Johnson nick named on sports overtime as "the truth". I believe Isaac should be nicknamed Devon Downey hahaha. Cant wait for the Region touny this coming week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
