Letter from Coach Breeze October 30th, 2025 Dear Staff/Community/Fans: I want to take a minute to make my yearly address to all of you. We are already in the gym working hard for the upcoming season. We have great young men and a talented roster once again. This season will be exciting and hopefully produce many more memorable moments. Personally, I am thrilled to return for this season as your coach. I want this program to remain on stable ground and bring pride to the community and school. The last ten years have featured three district championships, four regional semi-finals, one regional runner-up, two regional championships, two state tournament trips, and over 200 wins. We have established a tradition of excellence and a culture of winning. Finally, what makes this job so special are the fans. The support of the student body and community is unparalleled in much of this state. We will continue to work hard to once again chase the biggest prizes for this school and county. This thing takes all of us. Come to the game, be loud, and be proud! We are AC! ROLL TRIBE!

LWU students explore study-abroad opportunities in England By Duane Bonifer Lindsey Wilson University student Taylor Harvey '26 had read about and seen images of England online. But she didn't appreciate the country until she visited it last May on a school trip. Harvey was part of a group of Lindsey Wilson students, faculty and staff who participated in an immersive study-abroad program at Harlaxton College, a Victorian manor in England's East Midlands. On Wednesday, October 29, 2025, the group told current Lindsey Wilson students why they should consider spending a semester studying at Harlaxton, which is located in Grantham and is the University of Evansville's study-abroad center in England. "You can see these places online, you can read about them, and you can look at pictures," said Harvey, a business administration and Christian ministries double major from Columbia. "But that doesn't substitute actually being in a different country, experiencing different people and different cultures."

Volleyball: Lady Indians historic season By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer On Sunday, October 26, 2025, the Adair County Lady Indians Volleyball team fell to the Elizabethtown Panthers in straight sets 25-15, 25-17, and 25-18 in the first round of the Fifth Region Tournament. The Lady Indians fought extremely hard throughout the game and took several points off the Panthers, especially in the later parts of the game. Despite the loss, the Tribe still finished the season with a 29-8 record, the best in the Fifth Region. That record also marks the history books as the winningest season in Adair County Volleyball history, and the first time a Lady Indians volleyball team has made the Fifth Region Tournament. All in all, we all should be incredibly proud of the season the Lady Indians volleyball team put together. I am already excited for next season!

Student seeks memories of the Coe Ridge Colony Emma Vonder Haar is currently a student at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. Emma is from Louisville, but her family is from Barren County, and for Emma's senior thesis, she is researching memories of the Coe Ridge Colony in Cumberland County. Emma says, "I am looking to conduct oral histories (interviews) with anyone who is a descendent of a family who lived in the Coe Ridge Colony or a Coe themselves, remembers Coe Ridge before its closure in 1958, or wants to share how its memory exists (even if it doesn't!) in Cumberland County today. I am not looking for experts -- just people willing to share! My research project has been cleared by the Institutional Review Board (ethics committee) and I am happy to send my questions ahead of time." If you or someone you know is interested in sharing, Emma asks that you send her an email at esv14@georgetown.edu. (She can also be reached via Facebook and LinkedIn, if that's easier).
