CORBIN — Tony Pietrowski’s Corbin Redhounds are looking to cap off regular season play with their third straight win, but to do so, they’ve got to get past a much-improved Middlesboro team on the road.
The Redhounds are 18-8 and have won their last nine games against the Yellow Jackets, along with 24-of-their-last 25 matchups between the two teams.
Middlesboro (10-18) has lost their last two games, and is 2-5 during its last seven matchups.
Corbin is led by a balanced attack of Eli Pietrowski (12.6 points per game), Zander Curry (11.5), Trey Worley (10.8), Connor Middleton (8.6), Carter Stewart (8.2), Ryder Akins (7.8), Conner Blackburn (5.0), Noah Cima (3.4) and Lucas Brittain (3.3).
Curry leads the Redhounds with a 7.5 scoring average while Pietrowski is pulling down 7.2 rebounds per game. Worley is averaging 6.8 rebounds per game.
The Yellow Jackets are led by Trey King’s 16.4 points and 9.3 rebounding average. Jerimah Beck is averaging 13.3 points and 6.9 rebounds while Cayden Grigsby is averaging 10.6 points and 3.7 rebounds per game. The trio of Joseph Killion (5.2 points per game), Bryce Bowling (5.4), and Brayden Barnard (4.6) are also expected to contribute.
