About: ACHS boys basketball team beats Taylor Co.

Ed,

Thanks so much for providing the information on ACHS basketball. This site is a great asset to the community and we appreciate all you do!

s/Angie Irvin

Thanks you! But the real thanks would have to got to reporter Blackie Nixon, who gave us the eye witness information. We're hoping others take up the slack when Blackie is not home in Columbia, KY. -EW

ACHS boys basketball team beats Taylor Co., 51-45

CM story from information courtesy Blackie Nixon

Adair County High School boys basketball team beat Taylor County last night, Friday, December 12, 2008, at Campbellsville, KY, by a score of 51-45.

Darren Ballou scored 12 points. Despite the ease with which Ballou can produce crowd pleasing dunks, none of the Morehead State University-bound star's 12 points were achieved that way.

Adair County supporters turned out full force. There were about as many fans from Adair County as from Taylor County.

Adair County boys basketball return to Campbellsville on Tuesday, December 16, 2008, for a game with with Campbellsville High School at 7:00pm.
