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.
