Basketball: Indians face Newport Wildcats on Saturday Day 4 Tickets for the 2024 King of the Bluegrass Tournament are available at gofan.co for $15 plus fees. Your phone acts as your ticket, and there are no cash sales. By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer The Adair County Indians Boys Varsity Basketball team returns to action as they take on the Newport Wildcats at 8pmCT/9pmET on Saturday, December 21, 2024, in the third round of the Chad Gardner Law King of the Bluegrass Basketball Tournament at Fairdale High School in Louisville. The Wildcats come off a 14-point win over Mater Lakes Academy out of Florida in the 2nd round of King of the Bluegrass. The Wildcats do most of their offensive damage inside the arc, attempting just 7 shots from distance in that last outing. They were led in scoring during their last game by Junior James Turner and Senior Adonaje Lowe, with 16 and 12 respectively. Sophomore Griffin Starks also marked a double/double for the Wildcats with 11 points and 14 rebounds in that game against Mater Lakes. The Indians will look to slow down the inside attack as much as possible in this matchup, and hope to win the 3 point count by a wide margin. This game will be back in the East Gym at Fairdale High School, 1001 Fairdale Rd., Fairdale, KY, the same that the Indians played in last night in their victory over Trinity. 2024-12-21 12:29:11 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sports
