Many considerBELIEVE Corbin senior Andrew Taylor as the front-runner for Mr. Basketball.THE | FILE PHOTO HYPE Mr. Basketball candidate Andrew Taylor will try to help lead Corbin to Rupp Arena BY JOHN STEPP Staff Writer CORBIN — Andrew Taylor burst onto the scene of high school basketball as an eighth grader for the Corbin Redhounds the night of Dec. 3, 2013 when he drove to the basket and put in a contested lay up for a 75-73 win over the then region’s top ranked team in Jackson County. Ever since that night, Taylor has written a history for himself that has put him among the best to ever wear the Redhound uni- form, and that is quite an accomplishment. Corbin Head Coach Tony Pietrowski had strong feelings toward Taylor. “Andrew has been a special player for our pro- gram. He put his name on the map with a game- winner in his first career game as an eighth grader,” Pietrowski said. “Since that point, his work ethic has become contagious. He leads by example and sets a high standard for the guys around him.” Taylor said that he feels he has continued to improve since that eighth grade season and that the biggest difference is his understanding of the game. “Each year I have added new skills and strengths to rise above the competition. Not only have I grown physically, but mentally and the way I look at things has changed,” said Taylor.

  • Grant Morrison
    GRANT MORRISON When Grant Morrison took the stage at the Disinfo.Con event, even though it was only 4:30 in the afternoon when the lights went down, it could've been midnight inside the Hammerstein Ballroom. Grant's drunken but enthralling speech began with a scream, a slosh of his beer as he climbed the podium and an admission that he'd just taken drugs and would be flying high by the half hour mark —"So watch for it!" It was pure punk rock theatrics filled with sublime moments —such as Morrison explaining how to work magick spells to all assembled! — and it was certainly one of the event's highlights. The guy was on fire and he looked spectacularly cool up there in his black leather jacket, Donna Karan suit and his shiny, bald pate, just like a white "Shaft." From what I gather, many of the audience didn't know who Morrison was when they arrived, but after that bravura performance, they sure as hell knew who he was when they walked out!' God, where do you start when you're trying to describe a character like Grant Morrison? The most obvious place to start is that Morrison is Scottish. Make that thickly Scottish; born and bred in Glasgow with an accent so strong you'd think he was French! He's also in a select group of contemporary writers who'd be on a Mount Rushmore of comics if such a thing were to exist, alongside Neil Gaiman, Frank Miller and Alan Moore, writers comics fans still read rather than just store in plastic bags.
