There was a big gate during both games that Wburg and Corbin played.
It was a huge money maker. BUT, when Wburg beat Corbin at Wburg, it embarrassed the hell out of them. Still not a reason not to play, but Corbin would be better served playing classes similar to the ones they face in district and region, and Wburg isnt like any of those teams. Completely different style of play.
You are correct that Corbin always had atleast one or two Whitley kids, and it would usually be one of the best athletes and players Whitley had, which made it worse, and is why i feel absoloutly no sympathy for Wburg ripping there kids now, but I fully believe if Corbin had a different coach, those kids wouldnt be leaving. Even then though, Whitley still tried to get a game with Corbin during that time. It was more of both administrations not agreeing to anything during that time, but for the last ten years, when players stopped leaving Whitley for Corbin, its been all on Corbins shoulders for not wanting to schedule the game.
I am however impressed that Corbin stepped up and scheduled Knox, especially considering Knox is on the rise. Its a good game for Corbin and a good prep game for the playoffs.
As i said before, the two will eventually start playing, but im afraid it wont be until Corbin has a new coach.

I too am surprised that they play Knox. It will probably be a 2 year deal however and they will then start driving to Mexico for games again so they don't look to bad to the faithful. I was at this years Corbin vs Bell game and the crowd was pathetic. If something isn't done there will be nothing left. I'm sure Williamsburg hopes Jewell stays because he is running their farm system for them.
