Adair - C-ville Make Basketball History: Adair Indians 6 To 1 Victory Over Campbellsville Believed Lowest Total Score Ever On A Ky. Floor

The Adair County Indians made Kentucky Basketball history Monda, night in winning a 6 to 1 victory over Campbellsville. So far as could be determined, this is the lowest total score of any game ever played on a Kentucky floor.

The reason for the exceptionally low scoring was the tactics employed by Campbellsville -- stalling.

Speaking after the game, Indian Coach John Burr had this to say: "They didn't think they could run with us so they went into a stall."

This was the Tribe's 23rd win out of 26 games played this season. Earlier this month, Burr's boys beat Campbellsville 81 to 62.

As the game got underway in the Adair County gymnasium, Campbellsville got the tip and held the ball almost the entire first elght minute quarter. In the final seconds they tried a field goal and Adair took the ball too late to score.

Adair got the ball first in the second quarter and Phillip Bomar scored within a few seconds after the tip on a short jump shot.

Again when Campbellsville gained possession of the ball they tried the same stalling tactics. However, they lost the ball on a walking violation.

Winford Blair was fouled while trying to shoot and made one of his foul shots to give the Indians a 3 to 0 lead. This score lasted until the half.

Again, Adair County got the tip as the third opened but soon lost it on a bad pass.

Campbellsville froze the ball until about midway in the period when an "intentional foul" was made to give Adair another chance to capture the ball. Wells, of Campbellsville, sank a free throw to score his team's lone, point.

Stalling again in the final, until about a minute and a half remain-ed, Campbellsville shot, missed and fouled Adair County's Fred Smith.

Smith made a free throw with 25 seconds remaining to bring the Tribe's total to 4 compared with CampbelIsville's 1.

With only one second remaining, Milton Bomar hit with an eight foot jump shot to wind up the game 6 to 1.

The reason for the unusual game, Campbellsville Coach Don Shaw said after the game, was that his team had lost Robert Spearman because of an ankle injury. With Spearman out, 6 foot, 4 inches and Campbellsville's best rebounder, he felt this was the only chance to pull an upset.
