They couldn't get it done. Whitley County has been a great all around team all season long. They've had great pitching , defense and timely hitting against the big boys.
I was eating breakfast at DQ this morning and three older gentleman was sitting around drinking coffee and talking Redhound baseball. One said before season started you could post team picture of Corbin and Whitley County and everyone would pick Corbin, he said look at the players names with colleges gonna be attending and then look at Whitley’s group. Obviously, one guy was upset because Corbin supposedly has far superior talent on the roster than Whitley. As I was leaving, I stopped by to let them know I had heard the conversation and that I was really curious as to how a team with far superior athletes and talent looses to Whitley County 4 out of 5 games played this season. ALL THREE MEN said far superior coaching. I agreed and payed for there breakfast because they all three was true corbin fans.. true story…


typical old head Corbin talk.
make no mistake, you’ll hear a lot of congrats from people that don’t mean it and a few that do, but behind closed doors, some of them have steam coming out of there ears. It’s something they’ve never been able to accomplish. 

show me a picture of both teams and i wouldn’t choose Corbin. Whitley had some dogs in their dugout.  Corbin mostly played reserved and scared against them. corbin returns a lot. They should be the favorite next year. I don’t have a dog in this fight,  it if I’m a Corbin kid who only plays baseball, I’m moving south because Whitley only needs a couple pieces to fill out that roster. Kids like there shortstop wright may be the best infielder in the state. It’s a shame they can’t get the college looks they deserve.
Corbin gonna be strong next season with all the pitching they gonna have coming back. Should be favorite right out the gate. However, Whitley County returns a ton of talent. And I fully agree the Wright kid is most underrated player in the State. If Whitley picks up two more pitchers look out cause These boys have shown over and over that they know how to win. Hearing chatter about a big time player possibly on the move to Corbin and if this happens the whole landscape of baseball changes in 13th Region. But then again great players like to play for great coaches and Whitley could have the best in the state again. Gonna be awesome watching Whitley defend the title next season as 39-4 is Incredible Season 4th in Nation in wins I heard. I think some big time talent goes to play for Shope this year in my opinion.
