Redhounds visit Rupp

Heroes come in all shapes and sizes. There were plenty of heroes for the Corbin Redhounds Saturday night in the finals of the 13th region but none bigger than 5-9 sophomore Josh Hamlin.With his team trailing 39-33, Hamlin stole the ball and went in for a lay-up and foul with 6:23 left in the game. He hit the free throw and sparked a comeback that would lead to a mid-night celebration at Corbin High School as the Redhounds came from behind to knock off the defending kings of the region, Rockcastle County, 67-57.
The Redhounds were led in scoring by seniors Andrew Parks (27 points) and Jordan Noble (16 points) on their way to Rupp Arena.
Parks hit on 6 of 10 from the field and 15 of 17 from the free throw line while Noble hit 3 of 7 three pointers to pace the Redhounds.
