Indian Boys Basketball ranked #6 in LHL poll

By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer

The Adair County Indians Basketball team was ranked #6 in the Lexington Herald Leader’s preseason poll.

The Journal ranked Adair 7th and had George Rogers Clark at 6th with Woodford County 8th. The Herald slotted Woodford 7th followed by George Rogers Clark at 8th, and those three teams made up the only differences in the polls, with both papers agreeing on the top 5 along with #9 and #10.
