‘Cotton’ & Corbin & Redhounds football
BY MIKE FIELDS (Oct. 28, 2019)
CORBIN – On a clear, crisp October morning recently, Larry “Cotton” Adams sat in the concrete stands at Denes Stadium and recalled the first time he ever saw the Corbin Redhounds play football.
It was 1955. He was 9 years old. And the magic unfolded on this very field in front of him.
“I remember the opening kickoff. Calvin Bird took it to the house. I remember he hurdled a tackler at midfield,” Adams said, motioning toward the 50-yard line.
“It was something.”
It was something that would change his life.
The community of Corbin has had a special relationship with its high school football team for the better part of a century. The Redhounds have claimed mythical or official state titles in 1939, 1955, 1976, 1980 and 1982. They were runners-up in 1962, 1977, 1990, 2002, 2017 and 2018.
The fans here demand success as if it were […]

10/9/19 – Suspension of NFHS Wrestling Rule 4-1-4
This memorandum from Elliot Hopkins, the NFHS Wrestling Rules Editor, and National Interpreter, was received on October 9. 2019:
Subject: Suspension of NFHS Wrestling Rule 4-1-4
________________________________________________________________________
Good Afternoon:
We have had some inquiries regarding the modified NFHS Wrestling Rule 4-1-4 and its intent and purpose. The NFHS Wrestling Rules Committee’s purpose was to restrict non-school promotional references from appearing on the wrestling ear guards that were not issued by the school. This practice was turning high school wrestlers into “walking billboards”. Items such as pop culture or movie references (Avengers, Superman), corporate sponsorships (Hines Lumber, McDonalds), advocacy interests (Save the Whales, Protect the Bees), biblical references (John 3:16, 2 Tim 1:17) and college logos (Michigan, Iowa) as a few examples of some of the items that are appearing on the ear guards. The rule’s limitation of manufacturer’s logo not to exceed more than one printed logo/trademark/reference and the restriction of size not to […]
