Hounds have their nose high after frst victory . . . The Corbin Redhounds, opening the 67 gridiron season with Wil- liamsburg, struggled to a 19-0 victory over their host in a game that was marred with typical Hrst game mistakes. Tommy Driggers, Dennis Witt, and Kenny Mobley all scored for the Redhounds. Drig- gers led the attack against Wil- liamsburg, carrying the ball nine- teen times, and gaining ninety- three of Corbin's 135 yds. rushing total. . . But they get it nippea' by the nftountain lions. In a bruising defensive performance, the Corbin Redhounds lost their first regular season game since 1965 at Pineville by an extra point, 7-6. Ken Mobley scored the lone Corbin touchdown from 13 yds. out, two plays after Tommy Drig- gers had sprinted 55 yds. to set up the TD. The extra point failed and proved to be the decisive factor of the ballgame.

More cats give the redhounds headaches . . . The Corbin Redhounds gracefully took a 6-0 lead early in the first quarter over Evarts only to see the Wildcats bounce back by dominating the rest of the game and win l9-6. Jim Ed Wild- er scored on a keeper from the l yd. line for the only Corbin tally. From then on it was Evarts' ballgame. Not to mention afew slings from middlesboro The visiting Middlesboro Yellow Jackets completely over- powered the Corbin Redhounds 24-7 and practically de- stroyed any Redhound hopes of a class AA play-off. Corbin's only score came at the end of the game when a beautiful Wilder pass was deflected into the arms of Dewayne Leigh. Leigh made a fantastic catch with two defenders all over him at the goal line. Dennis Witt carried the ball for the extra point. 2l
