How did your school get their Colors & Mascot?
#83
I've always heard an interesting story about Corbin getting the name Redhounds. If it's true, I love the name but the way it came about is not something to be proud of. I'm sure most are familiar with the unfortunate history of Corbin. Obviously, racism was abundant all across the South, but Corbin had an incident in 1919 where black railroad workers were gathered up and sent back to Knoxville on a train. The rumor was that during the "round up", locals had bloodhounds (Redhounds) with them. That said, that could just be rumor. Maybe someone could shed some light as to whether it's true or not.

As for my Harlan County friends, does anyone remember Cumberland having light blue as a trim back in the early 80's? I seem to remember that but always remembered them being Maroon, white, with a little grey. I think they incorporated black a little before consolodation.
