I think the question I ask is this to gauge Corbin's program right now.

When was the last time they beat: Danville, Belfry, Somerset, Bell, Boyle, NCC or some other programs that are consistently playing for state titles? They are dominated most of those semi-final games by NKY teams if I recall correctly and their path to get to that level is not as difficult as it used to be. (True for most any program with 6 classes competing) I might add they were utterly humiliated in the State Final they reached by a very, very good Breathitt squad.

Maybe I have come down on them too hard but they are not a team that Harlan County will improve their program by playing, let alone demolishing. :Thumbs:

I definitely agree with this.

Since 2007 here is what Corbin has done against teams who have won a State Title within the past decade:

Central L 7-62
Bell County L 14-42
Danville L 15-43
Boyle County L 10-42
Hazard L 28-35
LCA W 29-22
NewCath L 8-42
Danville W 31-14
Hazard W 27-7
LCA L 21-41
NewCath L 7-26
Belfry L 0-21
LCA W 47-21
NewCath L 16-28

4-10 record

Those 10 losses were an average defeat of 38-13.

Those 4 Wins Against (3) 1A teams and (1) 2A team.

To Corbin's credit, they do have some wins over some other "good" programs like Pburg, Somerset, Pikeville,and Middlesboro..but by and large there have been no wins to distinguish the Redhounds as an elite team over the past 5 years.
