Whitley County will attempt to pull off a big upset on the road, and Williamsburg will watch and wait to see who will be traveling to Finley Legion Field for the second round on Nov. 12. Corbin Redhounds The Redhounds completed their first undefeated regular season since 2008 Friday night with a 40-10 road win in northern Kentucky against Campbell County. \u201cThat was good for us, just because of some obstacles that started with two hours and 40 minutes on a bus,\u201d said Coach Tom Greer. \u201cThe next thing was the that it rained from time we left Corbin to the time we got back.\u201d Greer said the team boarded the buses in Corbin at 1:15 p.m. and got back off the buses in Corbin at 1:30 a.m. Saturday. Greer said while the Redhounds had not initially set a goal to go undefeated in the regular season, they did want to go out and compete each week and play at a high level. \u201cGoing 10-0 says that we did that,\u201d Greer said. Says that we did that. Seth Huff led the way for Corbin with 17 rushes for 208 yards and three touchdowns. Seth Mills and Cameron Combs each added a rushing touchdown, as the Redhounds pounded out 345 yards on the ground. \u201cThe weather had a big part to do with that,\u201d Greer said of Corbin focusing on the ground game. \u201cOur line did a great job opening holes and Seth did a great job running downhill.\u201d The Redhounds\u2019 444 points scored on the season is the highest among the 38 Class 4A football teams in Kentucky. Defensively, Mikey Neal led the way for Corbin with 11 total tackles as the Redhounds held Campbell County to a combined 235 yards of total offense. Jacob Baker added an interception for Corbin. \u201cWe are playing pretty consistent,\u201d Greer said of the Redhounds\u2019 defensive effort Corbin\u2019s defense has given up 95 points on the season, which is the fewest in Class 4A. Corbin was the only Class 4A, and one of seven teams in Kentucky to go undefeated in the regular season. Corbin will open the playoffs Friday night at Campbell Field against district rival Wayne County. The Cardinals finished the season with a 4-6 record after losing at North Laurel last Friday, 27-17. The Jaguar defense held Wayne County to -30 yards rushing on the night. Wayne County went winless in the district. Greer said Corbin was in a similar situation in 1996, having gone 10-0 in the season. The Redhounds hosted Madison Southern in the first round and ended up losing to the Eagles, 28-27 in overtime. \u201c10-0, throw it out the window,\u201d Greer said. \u201cWe are zero and zero.\u201d Greer said the 42-0 win over Wayne County on Oct. 22 doesn\u2019t mean anything either. \u201cI\u2019m sure that after that ballgame, they were very happy,\u201d Greer said. \u201cA lot of it Friday night is going to be their frame of mind.\u201d \u201cWe have to get after them!\u201d The winner Friday will face the winner of Knox Central at Lincoln County on Nov. 12 for the district title. If Corbin advances, the game will be at Campbell Field. Whitley County Colonels The Whitley County Colonels took a 22-20 lead against Danville after the first quarter of Friday\u2019s road game, but the Admirals took over from there en route to the 47-28 win. \u201cWe started the right way, offensively,\u201d said Coach Zeke Eier. \u201cOne of those deals where we have to finish halves again. We gave up a score at the end of the half. And that is big time because it takes momentum out of us and into them,\u201d he said. Caden Petrey completed nine passes for 178 yards with one touchdown and one interception, while running for three more touchdowns. Trevor Downs caught four passes for 96 yards and Mason Croley hauled in three passes for 57 yards and a touchdown. Defensively, Tye Hamblin led Whitley County with 13 tackles and Christian Grubb added 11. \u201cI was proud of our kids\u2019 effort,\u201d Eier said. \u201cThey kept fighting to the end.\u201d \u201cIt is easy to fold when things aren\u2019t going your way,\u201d Eier said. \u201cIt is one where we are learning. Learning what it takes to win. And we just got to keep getting better,\u201d he said. Whitley County, who made the Class 5A playoffs with a win over South Laurel on Oct. 22, will travel to Southwestern Friday night. The Warriors come into the game 9-1 and with a six-game winning streak after defeating Madison Central last Friday, 26-0. Southwestern ran for a combined 270 yards and three touchdowns against the Indians. Southwestern defeated Whitley County on Oct. 8, 50-16, holding the Colonels to 85 yards of total offense. \u201cThey didn\u2019t get our best effort,\u201d Eier said of that game. \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to going over there and competing against them. They are the best team in our district,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have a great opportunity in front of us. You never know.\u201d Williamsburg Yellow Jackets Williamsburg finished the regular season 7-3 after falling at Perry County Central Friday night, 31-25. The Jackets were forced to play catch up after the Commodores built a 13-0 lead. Sydney Bowen completed 15 passes for 196 yards with two touchdowns and one interceptions. Jayden Rainwater carried the ball ten times for 124 yards and a touchdown while also catching a touchdown pass. Bryson Potter led the receivers, catching five passes for 105 yards and a touchdown. However, the Williamsburg defense could not stop the run as Perry Central ran for 348 total yards and five touchdowns. \u201cBad job by me getting them ready,\u201d said Coach Jerry Herron, Jr. \u201cWe just flat, absolutely flat, just didn\u2019t travel well.\u201d \u201cWe just, absolutely, did not come up here ready to play,\u201d Herron said. \u201cIt\u2019s on me.\u201d Herron said it was mental [&hellip;]"}
