The two Blue Raiders were recently named Co-Women's Swimmer of the Year in the Mid-South Conference, and they are a big reason the Blue Raiders are one of the top-ranked collegiate swimming programs in the country as they prepare for the NAIA National Championships, which will be held March 5-8, 2025, in Elkhart, Indiana. "Being co-swimmers of the year is just amazing. It's an amazing 'dub' for the 'L-Dub,'" said de Goede, referring to students' often-used nickname for Lindsey Wilson.

Cloyd brings acting experiences to his Lindsey Wilson classes Lindsey Wilson College theatre professor Jeremy Cloyd grew up around the legend of doomed spelunker Floyd Collins, but he said that he did not fully appreciate the enormity of the cave explorer's tragic story until he was cast in Floyd Collins: The Musical. In 1925, Collins became trapped while exploring Sand Cave in Southcentral Kentucky in what is now part of Mammoth Cave National Park. Collins died in the cave after a furious 14-day rescue effort, which was one of the 20th century's first national media spectacles. As part of the centennial commemorating Collins' death, Ramsey Theatre Company is producing Floyd Collins: The Musical at 7:30pmCT on Saturday, March 8, 2025, at the Southern Kentucky Performing Arts Center, 601 College Street, Bowling Green, KY. The musical, which premiered in 1994, is also getting its Broadway debut later this year as it is part of Lincoln Center Theatre's 2024-25 season. Cloyd is cast in the Ramsey Theatre production as H.T. Carmichael, an engineer who attempts to lead the rescue operation to save Collins.

Basketball: Homecourt advantage is up to you The ACHS Lady Indians play at 7pmCT on Monday, February 24, 2025 in John Burr Memorial Gymnasium, 526 Indian Drive, Columbia, KY. Tickets are $8 at hometownticketing.com. By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer 9 years. That is how long it's been since an Adair County High School girls basketball team has been looking ahead to the District Tournament with more wins than losses on the season. In that time, the program has gone through four head coaches, 172 losses, 5 single digit win seasons, and countless players. The Lady Indians have had their fair share of season struggles. During the last four years the program has a record of 41-75, and just one trip to the Region Tournament. After eight straight seasons of finishing below .500, this season began no different, a tough 0-3 start made things seem like the Lady Indians were headed for another dismal season, but then something started to happen that had not in quite some time: the team started winning, a lot. It started with a road win over Washington County and then, after a hard fought loss in the district debut against Campbellsville, the Lady Indians dominated a previously undefeated Butler County team. Then, they won again, and again, and again, and suddenly, with a 52-45 win over Holy Cross, the team had notched their longest winning streak in almost a decade.
