Basketball: Sweet 16 caps an amazing season By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer On Wednesday, March 26, 2025, the Adair County Indians Basketball team fell to the Bowling Green Purples 52-51 in overtime. Despite a tough end to the year, this was an amazing season for the Tribe. This is undoubtedly a season to be proud of, especially for this year's senior class. Their incredible effort and dedication to Adair County Basketball will not be soon forgotten. Senior Connor Loy was praised after the game by Bowling Green's coach, who said he knew he "Isn't going to quit". Senior Isaiah Cochran had some personal moving remarks in his postgame comments calling his move to Adair County, "The best decision I have ever made." No one really knows what next season will hold for the Indians, an almost total lineup reconstruction is definite, as the only player who saw consistent minutes this year and can return for next year is Dawson Gilbert, but that uncertainty for next season is a problem for another day. In the meantime we can reflect and be proud of the incredible season put together by the 2024-2025 Indians, 5th Region Champions and 30-6 on the season. A historic team. The Sweet Sixteen game was competitive all the way through, tied at the end of the first, with a one-point Bowling Green lead at the half. The Purples pulled ahead in the third, but the Indians rocketed back in the fourth quarter and had a chance to win, but a shot by Connor Loy and tip in attempt by Brayton Coomer missed the mark, so the game went into overtime. In overtime, Bowling Green senior Deuce Bailey scored the go-ahead bucket with 9 seconds left that led to a Bowling Green victory. Ultimately, Adair County fought hard to come back as Bowling Green led by as many as 10 in the fourth quarter, but the game was lost in the first half, which is exactly what head coach Breeze had to say in the postgame press availability, calling the first half, "the difference." Isaiah Cochran and Connor Loy led the scoring for the Tribe with 14 each, followed by Brayton Coomer with 13. Loy led the way in rebounds with 9, followed by Cochran and Coomer with 8 each. The team shot 42% from the floor, and just 17% from three point range. Adair County came into this game averaging over 7 threes, and fell well below that in this one, making just 2.
