CORBIN — Tom Greer’s Corbin Redhounds showed the remaining teams in the Class 4A playoffs they are primed and ready to make a run at the state title with their 63-0 win over outmanned Wayne County on Friday.
Corbin once again recorded a dominating effort on both sides of the ball while recording its seventh shut out of the season, and third consecutive blanking of an opponent.
The last time a team has scored any points on the Redhound defense is way back on October 6.
Corbin (11-0) has allowed only 42 points this season with the varsity allowing only nine of those.
Receiver Carter Stewart also became the Redhounds’ career leader in receiving yards, surpassing former Corbin wide out AJ Moore’s 2,113 yards.
The Redhounds will be back in action at home against Taylor County.
“Our kids came out and played sharp on both sides of the ball and special teams,” Greer said. “The kids really did a good job executing the game plan and took care of business with great effort . The kids were focused in this week and now we will prepare and get ready for round two.”
Greer’s squad started its playoff run the way it ended regular season play — dominating on both sides of the ball.
A 12-yard rushing touchdown by Cam Estep triggered Corbin’s dominance once again as Guy Bailey followed with touchdown runs of 58 yards, eight yards, and 39-yards, and a fourth rushing touchdown while Kade Elam connected with Estep with a 25-yard touchdown connection to push the Redhounds’ advantage to 42-0 with 9:40 left in the second quarter.
Clay Akins added a 25-yard touchdown run to give Corbin a comfortable 49-0 lead at halftime.
Colton Creekmore added a rushing touchdown in the second half to give the Redhounds a 56-0 lead while Akins 37-yard rushing touchdown increased Corbin’s advantage to 63-0.
