Basketball: Lady Indians victorious against Jaguars By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer On Monday, June 9, 2025, the Adair County Lady Indians defeated East Jessamine 61-51 at Campbellsville High School in their latest summer ball outing. The Jaguars of East Jessamine are coming off a 10-20 season, but graduated only one senior last year and returned nearly all of their production. The Lady Indians were bested by East Jessamine very early last season 53-51, but were able to get the best of the Jaguars this time by double digits. The team notches yet another win to the growing number of victories early on in the 2025 summer ball season, after two big wins last week. They will seek to continue to grow together and improve as they work towards the start of regular season. 2025-06-10 20:47:50 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sports
