Wildcats hope to run win streak to two games

CORBIN — Lynn Camp received its first taste of victory last week against Berea to even its record at 1-1.
The Wildcats faced a 24-9 effort at halftime before rallying to pick up a 30-24 win.
“This was a great win for us,” Mitchell said. “Especially considering our youth and we are thing in numbers.
“We made a lot of mistakes, and trailed 24-8 at halftime, but I tell you what, Conner Mabe had a strip sack for a touchdown and that turned the game around,” he added. “Our guys played their tails off. We can build on this. Our guys came together as a team. They didn’t give it us, we just got after it.”
