The Lady Redhounds (1-0) knocked down eight 3-pointers with Izzy Walker and Raegan Walker hitting three apiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cExcited to get the season kicked off tonight,\u201d Corbin coach Isaac Wilson said. \u201cIt was an unexpected start as we picked the game up today around 11 a.m., but we thought it was a great opportunity to begin the season and compete against somebody else. We have had a long stretch of practices and it was good to go against somebody else Tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOverall, I thought our team played really well and we were locked in defensively for the majority of the game,\u201d he added. \u201cWe still have plenty of things that we need to cover and continue to improve on, but it is always great when you are able to begin your season with a win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMiddlesboro has a nice young basketball team and they will continue to compete and be a problem within the 13th Region for this year and years to come,\u201d Wilson continued. \u201cCoach Adams is doing a great job with those girls and has really improved that Middlesborough program. We will enjoy this win for tonight, but we must reset our focus quickly as our next game is a home opener against Barbourville on Thursday night.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
