Please feel free to call before you come into the office to see if we can perform the transaction you are needing. 270-384-2801. We truly appreciate everyone's continued patience during this time!

LWC Men's Basketball: 2020-21 Rewind By Kyle Jackson The Blue Raiders featured one all-conference selection in Elijah Jordan. The junior guard collected the honor after leading the team in points per game, averaging 16.8 for the season and 17.0 in conference contests. He additionally led Lindsey Wilson with 39 total assists and 22 total steals. Jordan was proficient from the floor, boasting a conference sixth-best 0.500 field goal percentage. Payton Cundiff scorched the hardwood from beyond the three-point arc, dropping 45 shots from the outside to not only lead the team in that category but also rank number 12 in the conference. His hottest performance of the season came at Georgetown (KY) on New Year's Eve when he shot an impressive 7-of-11 from behind the 3-point line. Cundiff was also second on the team in scoring with 10.4 points per outing, while he led the Blue Raiders from the charity stripe, shooting 82.4 percent (28-of-34). Also contributing largely on the score sheet was Colen Gaynor, who posted 10.1 points per contest.

Letter: Barn photo brings back memories Jennifer Fudge Carter writes: This picture shows what used to be my Dad's barn. I have memories of stripping tobacco in this barn, pulling tobacco plants in the nearby plant bed and playing in the barn. The property was sold and divided after my Dad's passing in 2011. Dr. George Webb now owns this piece of property, but it will always be home to me.

New Student Orientation Days welcome the Class of 2025 to LWC Lindsey Wilson College welcomed 158 new members of the Class of 2025 to campus last Friday and Saturday during the college's second set of new student orientation days this summer. NSO introduces freshmen to the LWC community and gives them the opportunity to meet their fellow classmates and complete important steps of the enrollment process. "We were so excited to host NSO in person this year," said LWC Associate Director of Admissions Hannah Peck. "We loved getting the chance to connect in person with students and their families - but most importantly, we loved seeing the students get connected with one another." Brooklyn Houk of Richmond, KY, was one of those freshmen who appreciated the opportunity to explore campus in advance and meet new people. "Everyone was so sweet and I felt so welcomed," said Houk. "It was a great experience getting to meet everyone. I think the most beneficial part about that day was getting to know more about Lindsey Wilson and it made me feel like I was at a home away from home. It made the transition easier and less stressful."

Remembering the CHASE Concert at ACHS, 1973 By Doug Beard I've been reviewing newspapers from 1974-1975 when I served as the editor of our high school newspaper, Smoke Signals. The CHASE concert was a major event for our area featuring one of the top jazz-rock bands in the country. I captured images from the 1974 yearbook to complete the collage. It's hard to believe this concert was forty-eight years ago. The 1973 article about the concert reads: Adair County High holds its first rock concertFour memberes of the band would perish in a tragic airplane accident in 1974.
