“Feels good to get back in the win column tonight,” Corbin coach Isaac Wilson said. “I thought we had a lot of kids contribute and get some good minutes for the future.
“We understand district seeding is important and tonight was a step in that direction,” he added. “Any win inside the 50th District is a good win and we have to enjoy this one for tonight and then quickly set our sights on South Laurel for this coming Friday.”

“Honestly, I’m really proud of how the team came out in the first quarter,” Williamsburg coach Melissia Douglas said. “We played with energy, focus, and confidence. But as the game went on, we struggled to maintain that level of intensity, and they took advantage of our mistakes. We’ve got to learn to stay consistent and keep up the pressure for all four quarters, especially against a team of that caliber. There are definitely things we can take away from this game and improve on, but I’m not going to let one bad result.” overshadow the effort we showed early on.”
