The 2004 Corbin Redhound football team was an exceptional group of athletes. They started something that has not been done many times at Corbin High School. The football team, the basketball team and the baseball team all won their regional tournaments.
This group of 16 seniors knew the importance of teamwork, which was the foundation for their success. The record of the 2004 football team was 10-4, reaching the state semifinal game. In the semifinals they were defeated 34-33 by Owensboro Catholic in the last seconds of the game.
“Even though we lost to Catholic in the last round, it was still a great season because we did so much more than people gave us credit for,” reads a quote from one of the seniors.
Coach Steve Jewell was quoted as saying, “Our season summed up in a few words: hot, cold, and on fire. I really hope we can have a team as talented as this one in the future, but I know we’ll never have a group of guys better than this one.”
