What else could you ask for?
The Lady Colonels had one heck of a week, defeating Corbin, North Laurel, and South Laurel while also capturing the Kentucky 2A, Section 7 championship.
They’ll be tested again this week with games against Knox Central and Corbin.

The Lady Jaguars look to be the most-improved team in the region. They’ve got a win over Corbin, and lost a five-set heartbreaker against Whitley County.
3. Corbin (3-2)
The Lady Redhounds fell to Whitley County in the finals of the Kentucky 2A, Section 7 Tournament but did pick up an impressive 2-0 win over a much-improved Bell County squad. The Lady Redhounds are dangerous. They’ll improve as the season progresses.
