Football: Indians face Raiders at Hart Co. By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer The Adair County Indians Football team is back in action at 7pmCT on Friday, October, 3, 2025, as they travel to face the Hart County Raiders (4-2). The Tribe comes off a narrow loss to LaRue County last week. The Raiders fell 35-6 to the Glasgow Scotties in their last game. The Raiders are certainly a run-first team. They have a total of 1799 rushing yards this season, compared to just 553 passing yards. Specific rushers for the Indians to keep an eye on would be seniors Kannan Allen and Jake Crump, who led Hart County in rushing yards with 631 yards and 507 respectively. Crump also leads Hart County on defense, with 70 tackles. The Indians will seek to have a good outing before getting to rest up on a bye next week. If you can make the trip to Munfordville on Friday, please come out and support your Indians! Radier Stadium is located at 1014 S. Dixie Hwy., Munfordville, KY.

Couch Night is a Blue Raider tradition By Duane Bonifer Lindsey Wilson University senior Jada Yann '26 saw the last three "Couch Nights," but she didn't fully appreciate what makes the event special until she got to experience her first one as a fan on Wednesday, October 1, 2025. Yann was among several hundred Lindsey Wilson students who dragged couches, office chairs, lawn chairs, folding chairs and blankets onto the hillside of Walter S. Rueling Stadium to watch the Lindsey Wilson-Cumberland (Tennessee) University soccer doubleheader on Wednesday evening at Ray Wells Field. "Couch Night" has been a Lindsey Wilson tradition since 2003, when the university's student government started it as a way to celebrate Blue Raider soccer and bring together the student body on an autumn weeknight. Students who attend the event are encouraged to watch the action from a couch -- or from another piece of furniture -- and also given complimentary pizza. Yann saw the previous three "Couch Nights" while a member of the Lindsey Wilson women's soccer team, but this year was the first time she experienced the event from the other side of Wells Field.

Is 2025 The Year of the Raccoon? The Philadelphia Metro Wildlife Center has a tradition of naming years for the species of the first animal patient they treat. They say on a web post, "It's down to chance, or fate, or whatever force is behind cause and effect." Their first patient of 2025 was an orphaned baby raccoon, so 2025 is their year of the raccoon. It seems that it's also been a year of the raccoon in Kentucky, if CM photos are any indication. Some years I rarely see a raccoon, but Summer 2025 seems to have been full of them.
