 Why is the 13^th Region trying to make a mountain out of a molehill? On the table is an opportunity for the 13^th region basketball tournaments to be played at The Arena in Corbin.

 The Corbin Redhounds captured back-to-back wins last week, defeating the Rockcastle County Rockets Saturday at Corbin’s House Field, 5-1 and holding off the McCreary Central Raiders in Stearns, Friday night, 10-8.

 The Whitley County Lady Colonels will host the First Priority Softball Classic Friday and Saturday night. This year’s tournament has a different twist. There will be a concert Friday night for all the teams and fans, at no additional cost.

 The Corbin Lady Redhounds finished second in their own Cumberland Falls Invitational Tournament Saturday, losing to Halls High School in the finals, 15-0.

 They didn’t give up the big inning against the third-ranked North Laurel Lady Jaguars, but the Corbin ladies lost 14-0 Monday night at CHS.

The 2009 Lady Redhound Cumberland Falls Classic will be held Friday and Saturday at the Corbin High School Softball Complex. 

 Senior Ted Clifford tossed a 7-0 no hitter as the Whitley County Colonels opened district play at Briar Creek Park in Williamsburg Monday afternoon. The right-hander struck out eight Williamsburg batters and allowed only two runners to reach base, one by way of a walk and the other on an infield error.

Four area high school baseball and softball teams traveled to the Sunshine State last week for a bit of spring training. The teams got in a total of 15 games, something they would not have done if they had stayed at home and tried to play because of the weather.
