For Colby Piner, 2019 was a tough year.
After earning Class AAA second-team all-state honors as a sophomore in 2018 while helping guide Greenbrier East to the playoffs, he was ruled academically ineligible for his junior season. As a result, he missed out on another playoff campaign as the Spartans hosted their first playoff game since 1998.
That served as motivation.
