[Old School Hound]

In 1924, Corbin, then known as the Corbin Railsplitters , played their first ever football game.  Final score : 

Pineville  143  Corbin  0

Corbin has never forgotten that  dubious debut and Pineville's prodigious pasting of the railsplitting rookies.  The time has come for
the Hounds to exact revenge.

It has taken  97 years but Friday is finally the night.  Hounds, with dark thoughts of 1924 dancing around in their heads, name their score:

Corbin  143    Somerset  0

In all reality, Corbin probably could put up four scores per quarter if they really wanted to. But they will not want to. Somerset has been  a great rival over the years.  The Hounds will go easy on their old friends. We'll  knock off the "1" from 143 and go with :

Corbin  43  Somerset  0

What the hell, man? We're not even cool with Pineville like that. 

I've always enjoyed the Corbin/Somerset games.  The one that stands out the most to me was back, sometime in the eighties I believe, when both Corbin and Somerset were in the same district. Both teams were very good. Corbin traveled to Somerset for the game that would decide the district.    Corbin outgained the Jumpers something like 4 to 1 in total yardage but I believe it was a blocked kick that led to Somerset's TD and they came away with a 7 to 6 win and Corbin's hopes of the postseason came to an end. Maybe one of my Corbin buds on here will remember the exact year that game was played. One of the more disappointing losses in my memory...
