Elam, who has signed with the University of Louisville, has turned in a stellar career as a Redhound, leading Corbin to consecutive 13th Region titles, and three during the past four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt couldn\u2019t go to a better young man,\u201d Corbin coach Cody Philpot said. \u201cKade has worked his tail off to be the best that he could be for as long as I\u2019ve known him, it\u2019s great to see him get rewarded for it. As much press and recognition that Kade has gotten over the years, he\u2019s one that aways tries to make everything about the team instead of himself, that\u2019s just who he is. Seeing him get to take home the most prestigious award in the State is nothing short of amazing and a testament to all of his hard work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elam leads Corbin with a .453 batting average. He also had 43 hits, 39 RBI, four home runs and 20 stolen bases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the mound, Elam is 4-1 with two saves and a 0.74 ERA. He has 39 strikeouts in 28 innings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
