“We actually got lucky. Someone was selling their tickets and I just so happened to jump online and got them. I was just looking. Basically we bought them last week,” Kornegay said. “Couldn’t miss it. Could not miss it. That’s one of the reasons why I was like ‘man I got to go.’ This is the last time.
