LONDON — The stage is set.
Roger Taylor’s Corbin Redhounds will be defending their 13th Region crown Monday at 6 p.m. against rival North Laurel in the 13th Region Boys’ Tournament championship.
The Redhounds and North Laurel have met twice this season with both teams winning a game apiece.
Corbin defeated the Jaguars, 1-0, on September 14 while North Laurel returned the favor in this past week’s 49th District title game, winning, 4-0.
Corbin took care of business on Saturday during semifinal action, handing Harlan County a 10-0 loss.
“Good performance from the team today,” Taylor said. “We were able to work on some things to help prepare for the championship Monday. It was a strange game with five penalty kicks but congrats to all five players who put their chance away. We had some excellent team goals through JP (Carmichael) and Rizzo (Cima) as well. We are ready to defend our region crown on Monday.”
The Redhounds led 4-0 at halftime, and never looked back, cruising to the 10-goal win.
Rizzo Cima recorded a hat trick in the win, scoring three goals while JP Carmichael added two goals. Logan Wise, John Ball, Parker Stacy, Blake Butler, and Braydon Van each scored a goal apiece.
