SOMERSET — The Corbin Redhounds showed a few signs of rustiness after a six-day layoff but still managed to pick up a 61-49 win on the road.
Led by Ryder Akins’ 19-point scoring effort, Corbin improved to 12-5. Connor Middleton added 16 points while Eli Pietrowski finished with 14 points.
“(We) looked rusty early on in the game,” Corbin coach Tony Pietrowski said. “I wasn’t happy with our attention to detail, and thought we got outworked for the most part.
“The second half was much more representative of the team we want to be,” he added. “Our offense was crisp, defensive effort was better and we rebounded it.
“Ryder looked much more fluid in the second half. He scored well and ran our team,” he continued. “Eli set the tone as well. He had some big finishes for us and worked the boards. Dawson (Farmer) and Middleton continue to be glue guys for us. Making plays that help us win. Proud of our team for a solid road win. It’s important we put our full focus on Williamsburg with the quick turnaround.”
Corbin will host Williamsburg Tuesday with hopes of remaining unbeaten in 50th District.”
