<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Corbin\u2019s last day in the Smoky Mountain Christmas Classic didn\u2019t end the way coach Tony Pietrowski would have liked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Redhounds got off to a slow start and never recovered during their, 72-50, loss to Barren County. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The loss dropped Corbin to 4-2 overall, and 1-2 during its stay in the tournament held in Gatlinburg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Redhounds fell behind, 20-13, in the first quarter, and never recovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t play well enough to win,\u201d Corbin coach Tony Pietrowski said. \u201cNot sure if it was the early tip, travel or just plain lack of focus? We have a good amount of seniors and juniors, so we shouldn\u2019t let this type of play happen to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOverall, a great week of basketball,\u201d he added. \u201cWe played some quality teams and see plenty of areas we can improve upon. Excited to host the CFIT after Christmas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hayden Llewellyn led Corbin with 15 points while Zander Curry added 11 points. Brody Wells added six points, and Carter Stewart finished with five points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
