\u201cWe beat a very good basketball team today,\u201d Corbin coach Tony Pietrowski said. \u201cShowed some solid poise and numerous guys stepped up and made plays for us. Nice to see Eli play the way he did tonight. Scored it, rebounded it and distributed the ball well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAgain, another balanced attack by our guys,\u201d he added. \u201cWe had more than a few put up some points and clean the glass for us. A good defensive effort as well. Even some of the shots they made were contested. We have to continue to buy in on that side of the ball. I\u2019m excited to compete for the championship tomorrow. I\u2019m proud of my team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
