The Lindsey Wilson team finished first among 80 teams in the competition. A team from Providence College placed second, and a team from the University of Massachusetts Amherst finished third. In addition to taking first place, the Lindsey Wilson team was also awarded a $2,000 prize. After their proposal was selected as one of four finalists, the Lindsey Wilson team presented it via Zoom to a four-judge team on December 5, 2025. The four judges included the president of Marketing Research Competition and three members of the project's client, Lincoln Financial.

Friendship leads to podcast for LWU Business students By Duane Bonifer Two Lindsey Wilson University students have turned a friendship into a new podcast aimed at helping people "laugh, learn and grow together in faith." Emerson McKinnis '28 of Auburn, Kentucky, and Summer Ray '27 of Stanford, Kentucky, have launched the podcast That's God. It's the first podcast the two business administration majors have hosted, and it's also the first student-produced podcast in the university's new podcast studio. Located on the first floor of the J.L. Turner Leadership Center, the podcast studio was opened this fall by the LWU School of Business and Communication to give students another creative outlet for their work. McKinnis and Ray came up with the idea for their podcast while having one of their numerous conversations about faith and life. Dean of the School of Business and Communication Benson Sexton '04 helped them turn their idea into a weekly production.

Basketball: Indians face Marion Co. Friday By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer On Friday, December 5, 2025, the Adair County Indians Boys Varsity Basketball team lost a heartbreaker on the road 60-57 at Campbellsville. The Indians led nearly the entire game, and seemed in control almost the whole night. They led 17-13 at the end of the first quarter, 34-24 at half, and 53-41 at the end of the third. Unfortunately, they were outscored by the Eagles 19-4 in the final period. The shots stopped falling for some players, and continued not falling for other players. The Indians' leading scorer, Tylin George, fouled out late, which might have been the nail in the coffin for Adair County. This loss could haunt the Indians all season, putting them at an early disadvantage for 20th District supremacy. The Indians will return to the court for yet another 20th District matchup in Lebanon. The boys face the Marion County Knights (1-1) on Friday, December 12, 2025, following the Lady Indians and Lady Knights, who are scheduled to tip off at 5:30pmCT at Marion County High School, 735 E Main St, Lebanon, KY. One ticket gets access to both games, and tickets can be purchased online at eventlink.com. 2025-12-09 15:32:08 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sports

Basketball: Lady Indians head to Fort Knox By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer On Friday, December 5, 2025, the Adair County Lady Indians fell 61-47 to the Campbellsville Lady Eagles. The Lady Indians will look to improve their shooting and get one in the win column as they travel to play Fort Knox at 6:30pmCT on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, in the main gym at Fort Knox High School, 266 Maine Street, Fort Knox, KY. Tickets are $7 cash only at the door. Campbellsville went ahead early in Friday's game, leading 15-11 at the end of the first quarter before the Lady Indians snatched the lead going into halftime 26-24. Unfortunately, the Lady Indians couldn't seem to buy a bucket in the third quarter, and were outscored 17-6 in that period. The Lady Indians battled throughout the fourth, but the gap was too wide to overcome. The team shot 33% from the floor and just 7% from three point range. The leading scorer against Campbellsville was senior Kinzlee Akin, with 17, followed by sophomore Reese Bardin with 10. Akin and Bardin were the only players for Adair County to score in double figures. Freshman Ella Brown led the team in rebounding, with seven, followed by Bardin with six, and Akin with five. 2025-12-09 09:11:31 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sports
E-Club aims to unlock entrepreneurial spirit at LWU By Duane Bonifer A group of Lindsey Wilson University students hopes to be part of a campus movement that will encourage more young people to become entrepreneurs. That's one reason why they started the E-Club, which held its first meeting on Monday, December 8, 2025, in the university's Thomas D. Clark Reading Room. With support from Awesome Inc. -- a Lexington, Kentucky-based firm that works with and coaches entrepreneurs -- the LWU E-Club wants to help lower the age of the average entrepreneur. The average age of a person who starts a business is in their early 40s, and the officers of the LWU E-Club would like to instead see more members of Gen Z -- those born between 1997-2012 -- become entrepreneurs. "I think anyone that has an entrepreneurial mind always has ideas circulating, and we want to help them see if it's a realistic opportunity," said Taylor Harvey of Columbia, who will graduate from LWU this December with a double major in business administration and Chrisitan ministries and is E-Club president.
