With a 4-0 victory over North Laurel Thursday night, the Corbin Lady Hounds soccer team became back-to-back 13th Region champions. “This is awesome,” said Head Coach Hannah Going after the win. “Last year going to state was such an amazing opportunity, and to be able to go back-to-back is just awesome. I’m so proud of these girls, I’m so proud of the team. They’ve worked so hard, and they really deserve this.” Corbin only had a 1-0 lead going into halftime after junior Abby Baker scored a goal about midway through the first half. North Laurel’s Jenna Rockwell had a great shot on goal just before time ran out in the...

On Monday, the Whitley County girls and boys soccer teams saw their seasons come to a close with losses to Oneida Baptist Institute in the first round of this year’s 49th District tournament, being played in London at North and South Laurel High Schools. Monday’s contests between Whitley and OBI took place at South Laurel, and many excited fans filled the stands to watch as these teams battled to keep their seasons alive. Those cheering on the Colonels were delighted when freshman Madison Broyles put her team on top 1-0 with a goal at 34:36 in the first half of the early game. OBI responded with a goal at 28:47, but...

The field is set for this year’s 49th District soccer tournaments, scheduled to take place next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at South and North Laurel High Schools in London. The Corbin Redhounds fell 1-0 to Pulaski County Monday evening, giving them an overall record of 7-8 heading into next week’s district tourney, where they will be facing the North Laurel Jaguars in the semifinal round. The Jags bested the Hounds 3-2 back on September 6, but if Corbin can come out on top this time they will punch their tickets to the 2016 13th Region tournament, and they will also earn the opportunity to play Whitley County, Oneida Baptist Institute or...

For years, Tulio and Lucas Canineu were integral parts of the Corbin boys soccer program. During their time at CHS the brothers helped the Redhounds compile an overall record of 58 wins, 34 losses and six ties. When they were playing together during the 2012, 2013 and 2014 seasons Corbin won three straight 13th Region championships. They were also 49th District champions in 2013 and 2014. The Canineus were both prolific scorers for the Hounds. They could take over a game in a moment’s notice, and they could just as effectively orchestrate situations where other teammates would be given opportunities to score goals as well. Whenever the ball touched their...

The Corbin Lady Hounds soccer team only has a few more games remaining on their regular season schedule. From there, they will begin their quest to successfully defend their 49th District and 13th Region championship crowns. Leading that effort this fall are two seniors – Kara Grisell and Mallory Allen. Both 17-years-old, Allen plays forward and Grisell plays at right wing. They are both lifelong participants in the sport, and are looking to cap off their high school careers by bringing a few more championship titles home to Corbin. “It’s been really great,” Allen said of her time playing as a Lady Hound. “The team has really come together this year,...

The Whitley County girls soccer team has seen much improvement in 2016. Despite being a young group with no seniors on the roster, they have displayed a good amount of confidence and skill on the pitch. On Monday, the Lady Colonels picked up their ninth win of the season, dominating the visiting Knox Central Lady Panthers 9-1. “I think their passing and trapping is looking a lot stronger,” said Head Coach Kelly Sawyers when asked after the game to talk about the state of her team. “We’re making good runs to get to open areas of the field as well.” “The only thing we need to continue to work on is finishing,”...

The Corbin boys soccer team came into Tuesday’s game at North Laurel looking to pick up their second win over a district opponent this year after defeating Whitley County 2-0 back on August 29. The Redhounds are being led by two seniors in 2016 – Ben Childers and John Lowe. Before Corbin took the field for a home contest against Southwestern Pulaski last week, these two players took a few moments to share their thoughts for this edition of Senior Spotlight. Childers, an 18-year-old center midfielder, has been playing soccer nearly his entire life. He said that it has always been fun to him, and getting to compete for a successful...

A Lawrence Lewis goal two minutes into the game followed by a Whitley County own goal about twenty minutes later was enough to give Corbin a 2-0 victory over 49th District rival Whitley County Monday, but the Redhounds had several opportunities to make that final score much more lopsided. Some shots on goal simply missed their mark for Corbin Monday, but many shots were kept out of the net thanks to solid play from Colonel goal keeper Jarred Havens. Regardless, Redhounds Head Coach Armando Cima was not pleased with his team’s overall performance, saying they need to improve in several areas moving forward this season. Despite the loss, Whitley County Head...
