Basketball: Indians in Lindsey Wilson Shootout play By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer The Adair County Indians Boys Basketball teams are back in summer ball action today, Wednesday, June 11, 2025, in the first day of the Lindsey Wilson Shootout. All of the ACHS games will be played in the Holloway Health & Wellness Center, 399 Williams St., Columbia, KY. The Tribe will face Thomas Nelson at 10:30amCT, and then Green County at 2:30pmCT in their varsity matchups, both on Wellness Court 1. The Freshman team will face the Bardstown Freshman team on Wellness Court 2 at 11:30amCT, and the Indians JV will face Bardstown JV on Wellness Court 1 at 3:30pmCT. Looking at the varsity matchups, the first comes against the Thomas Nelson Generals, a team that went 12-17 last season and graduated six seniors. The Generals, much like Adair County, are a team looking to fill a lot of holes from players that recently graduated. Two of Thomas Nelson's top three scorers from last season graduated and in total the team lost 56% of their scoring from last season. The Green County Dragons are a team coming off a 24-4 season that ended in the 5th Region Tournament. The Dragons also lost many key players from last season, graduating 53% of their production. Green County also saw a coaching change as former Taylor County coach and Green County assistant Montrelle Irvin took over as the head coach during the offseason. Come out and support the Indians as they play in Columbia today! 2025-06-11 10:02:45 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sports

Basketball: Indians split games at Metcalfe Team Camp By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer In their latest bit of summer ball action, the Adair County Indians Boys Basketball team defeated the Monroe County Falcons by 12, but fell to the Cumberland County Panthers by four in two games played at Metcalfe County High School on Monday, June 9, 2025. The first game was against the Falcons of Monroe County, a team that went 14-15 last season and saw their season end in the first round of the 16th District Tournament. However, Monroe County was a young team last season, graduating just two seniors who combined to make up just 10% of the team's scoring from last year. The Falcons return 90% of their scoring from last season, one of the highest rates of any team around. The Cumberland County Panthers are a team that just seems to have Adair County's number. The Tribe dropped a regular season game on the road in Burkesville back in December--the first game Adair County had dropped to Cumberland County since 2012--and another close lose to the Panthers, albeit a summer ball one, will likely only add meaning to when the Indians and Panthers face off again, most likely during the upcoming regular season. The Indians have a quick turnaround, as they begin three days of games in the Lindsey Wilson Shootout today, Wednesday, June 11, 2025. 2025-06-11 09:26:58 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sports Birthdays and Anniversaries for June 11 Happy Anniversary, Billy and Tammy Sexton (1980) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, James and Alice Turner (1988) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Lloyd and Josephine Wilson (1955) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Audrie Ezra Hamilton (2013) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Beverly Akin Redmon | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Billy Andrew, Jr. | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Bryleigh Addison Wheet (2008) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Connie DeVore | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Kaitlyn Harvey | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Kaitlynn Faith George (2008) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Kimberly Kean (1980) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Mitchell Corbin (1961) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Terry Hadley | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Wayne "Goose" Burton | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday Cosby (Dick) Jeffries, Taylor Co., KY (1933) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Marvelle J.
