  Just a few random thoughts to air out while I’m waiting to go to lunch today.

 Corbin has been blessed with talent on the tennis court for decades. That tradition continued when Lance Freeman, Lee Crawford, Nick Huff and Krishna Patil entered middle school. They have worked their way through the program and are seniors this year at CHS.

 Williamsburg senior Jacob Teague will not have to change much of his décor when takes off for college next fall to play basketball at Emory & Henry University in Emory, Virginia, just outside of Bristol.

Williamsburg will be making its first trip to the All A State Softball Tournament for small schools this week at Skyview Park in Jeffersontown. The Lady Jackets will open the 16-team tournament against St. Henry at noon.

 The Williamsburg Lady Jackets are trying to stay out of the number four seed in the up-coming softball district tournament. To do what they needed, a win over the South Laurel Lady Cardinals was a must or a win over the Whitley County Lady Colonels Friday.

The Whitley County Colonels are hot! Coach Rob Ledington’s Colonels defeated South Laurel Monday, 5-3 and won their 11^th game in the last 12 starts. It was their sixth in a row.

The win also allowed the Colonels to tie the Cardinals for first in the district standings with a 4-1 record and assured Whitley County of at least the number two seed. The teams were scheduled for a second game in London Tuesday afternoon with the top seed on the line.

Lyndsay Champlin, a senior at Corbin High School, has signed with Midway College. The three-year starter for the Lady Redhounds led Corbin to two regional tournaments and enjoyed a 73-44 record in her four years of high school.

Whitley County senior Mike Storms has decided to further his career on the hardwood by signing with the University of the Cumberlands junior varsity with hopes of moving up to the varsity in a couple of years.
