Hey OSH, A pretty good Bell County team last year (25-8 record) with the entire same team as this year’s team but younger lost to HC 3 times by a combined 67 points and look at them now with another year of experience under their belts! Of course Trent Noah was on that HC team, but Bell’s 2 best players were sophomores with age compared to Corbin’s two best players being Freshmen with age.. Just saying I think if I was a Corbin guy I would not be too quick to be too critical of their team this year because the future appears to be bright for them…..They will take some lumps from good teams and lose a game or two to mediocre teams, especially when Akins is out, so hey from what I saw of them earlier this year, just try to enjoy watching them through their growing pains and have a little faith in them along with Tony P, he can coach a little as we have seen over the years..

You make a good point. They just have to learn how to be a good team. Good individual talent doesn't always equal good team.  See Pikeville football '24 and Corbin football '21. Internal issues can be a problem, along with a learning curve. I appreciate your input. Barring injuries and players transferring they should be the next few years. They need some new coaching blood on the bench, as well. Crawford needs to leave. He adds nothing.
