No 6th graders play. All students only play their respective grade.

Corbin plays Elkhorn, does Elkhorn have a shot at beating Corbin.

Where does Corbin get all their 6th readers from? I want the best and biggest kids from throughout the state.

Winning at 1 grade level does not always translate into winning later. The Corbin Juniors won State titles as 7th and 8th graders but as Soph and Jrs they have had a losing season and two 3rd place district finishes. When you are involved in 3A-6A football 1 good class has to have support from classes ahead and behind them.

They actually only won 1 state title and are 7-2 so far this year as juniors. You are correct though, winning middle school titles means very little once you get to high school.

No, they won 2 state championships during middle school. They won as 7th graders and again as 8th graders. For you to post as much as you do about the hounds one would assume you should know this.

Actually they won TWO both 7th and 8th grade in 2009 and 2010. Both being blow out wins. And by the way both their loses this year as juniors have been by 7

This is interesting topic to me. I wonder just how much does success at the middle school level translate to the high school level. Why don't we do some research and see how past state champions, finalists, and even semi-finalists at the MS level have faired during their HS careers.

Their are many factors that go into keeping kids together on high school teams from middle school. It takes a lot more dedication and hard work in high school. Getting in the weight room during winter months and dedicating your self to getting bigger and stronger.Most kids in middle school have never seen a weight program or been properly supervised in how to lift without injuring their selves. Keeping kids involved is just a lot harder in high school so many other distractions that are to numerous to name.

Whitley County's elementary is K-6th. They have 6 Elemetary schools.
One of those schools is Oak Grove, which is about 5 miles from Corbin primary.

When its time to go to middle school at Whitley, a lot of these kids switch to Corbin since its actually closer than driving all the way to Wburg to go to middle school in seventh grade.

So a lot of kids Corbin has had in the past started out at Whitley.

Oak Grove also has the most students out of all the Whitley elemntary schools.

I went to Oak Grove when i was a kid and we lost at least a quarter of our football team to Corbin from 6th grade to 7th grade. Corbins middle is 6th-8th, so some of the kids that play on Corbin 7th grade team come from Whitley the year before.

Not sure how much do it now, but Whitley use to lose a lot of kids to Corbin because of that.

However, Whitley also had 5 other elementary schools to choose from so it didnt really hurt the overall numbers, but a lot of talent was lost.

Those young Redhounds look pretty good. 7th Grade State Champs.

Congratulations

Corbin middle school is just 7 & 8 grade.

Did that change when the new school was built a few years ago?
