Corbin picks up wins over Danville, M’boro

By Les Dixon / Sports Editor

Curt Hart’s Corbin Redhounds remain unbeaten after picking up wins over Middlesboro and Danville.

Corbin captured its 13th win of the season after knocking off the Yellow Jackets 4-1 in match play, while the Redhounds improved to 14-0 on the season with its 5-0 victory against the Admirals.

“It is always a good day when you can defeat a tradition-strong Middlesboro team,” Hart said.

Against Danville, the Redhounds won two singles matches and three doubles matches.

“This was our strongest performance of the season,” Hart said. “Danville is one of the strongest teams in the 12th Region.

“Our players are peaking just at the right time — a few days before regionals,” he added.
