7th, 8th grade football supporters thanked


It is with great pride that we recognize and congratulate our seventh and eighth grade Corbin Middle School football teams. For the second consecutive year, our talented eighth grade team advanced to the State Championship playoffs, only to be defeated by Bowling Green Middle School, the eventual state champions. Bowling Green coach Danny Davis was quoted as saying that Corbin was the only team who gave them a fight and were undoubtedly the second-best team in the state. We are proud of the way our young Hounds conducted themselves, on and off the field.

In a game full of big plays, the seventh grade team rolled to the State Championship! Not only have our boys performed well, our seventh grade cheerleaders also brought home a state championship! It is evident to see that the Redhound tradition is alive and well, and we have some exciting years of football ahead of us.

How privileged we are to live in a community that recognizes and supports our youth with such generosity. With three days to raise the funds to travel, our community came through for our boys!

Many thanks to the individuals and businesses that rallied around our young teams and gave generously of their time and money to make this trip possible: Harold and Mary Anne Reedy, Powers Auto Service & Body, Vankirk-Grisell Funeral Home, Oak Tree Hospital, Kentucky Outdoorsman LLC, Kim & Lisa Cleary, Becky Waddle, Brenda Henson, Tammy Meadors Johnson, Flo Brown, Joe & Missy Shelton, Karen Cushman, Susie Kissinger, Sherry Skinner, Arlis Johnson, Kim & Bob Croley, Hometown Physical Therapy, Hometown Bank, Dr. Truman Perry, Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company, Owens Auto Parts, Central Automotive Supply, Davis Salvage Company, Nancy Mitchell Bookkeeping Services, Croley Funeral Home, attorney David Hoskins, Marr Miller & Myers, Nelda Barton-Collings, Freeman & Childers, Keith Mays, Tracey Carr, Corbin One Hour Cleaners, Danny Wallen Wrecker Service, Planet Earth PC, Orthodontic Center, Everyone Rides Auto Sales, Gatti’s Pizza, James River Coal Service, Corbin Pediatric Associates, Tri-County Cineplex, J&B; Lawn Care Services, Brentwood Pharmacy, Whitaker Bank, Don Creech, AJ Carr, US Gold Realty, O’Mally’s Restaurant, Harold Adkins, Champion Windows, Wal-Mart and Forcht Bank
