The 6th and 7th grade played on 12/28 at Corbin Middle School but came up short in both games. The next day the 8th grade team went to Corbin High school and played a very good McCreary Co Middle School team and came away with a big win. On January 2nd the Generals hosted Madison Middle and came away with 3 wins in 6th, 7th and 8th grade. On January 4th, the Generals hosted Caudill Middle School, 6th grade and 7th grade teams both came up a little short in their effect, but played hard.
