Basketball: Indians defeat Hornets 87-49

By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer

On Saturday, January 25, 2025, the Adair County Indians Boys Varsity Basketball team defeated the Metcalfe County Hornets 87-49 at home in John Burr Memorial Gymnasium.

This marks 7 straight victories for the Indians, stretching back to almost the New Year. The team shot out to an early 10 point lead at the end of the first quarter. The game tightened back during the second quarter, but the Indians were able to open back up to a 10 point lead at the half. After the halftime break, the Indians came back out of the locker room much more explosive than the Hornets, building an 18 point lead with just over three minutes into the 2nd half. The Indians would continue to pull away, notching over a thirty point lead halfway through the fourth quarter.

The Indians were able to pull off this decisive win on the back of 61% shooting from the floor and 33% shooting from three point range. The leading scorers for Adair County were Connor Loy, Isaiah Cochran, and Brayton Coomer, with 23, 20, and 19 respectively. Cochran led the way in rebounding, notching a double double with his 11 rebounds.

The team will now rest up for their 20th District matchup against the Campbellsville Eagles at home on Friday, January 31, 2025, with a chance to clinch the District regular season title on the line.
