Isaac Wilson’s Corbin Lady Redhounds did just that during Tuesday’s 87-56 rout of Bell County,
Corbin was hitting on all cylinders from top-off to the final buzzer. The Lady Redhounds secured a 34-8 lead in the first quarter, and never looked back to improve to 17-7 while the Lady Bobcats fell to 18-8.
“Great win and total team effort by the girls tonight,” Wilson said. “I’m proud of their approach to the game and I really thought we responded well. I’ve been pretty tough on them the past two days and to see them come out and respond the way they did tonight, tells me all I need to know about this basketball team moving forward.
“If we continue to care for one another and play with extreme effort this team can be really special,” he added. “Now we have to get a few good days of prep in and prepare for a good North Laurel team this Friday night.”
