Basketball: Indians lose tight games at RCHS By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer On Monday, June 16, 2025, the Adair County Indians Boys Varsity Basketball team played their latest bit of summer ball action, this time at Russell County High School. The Indians fell in their opener 57-54 to the Warriors of Southwestern, and 75-73 in the second game to the host Russell County Lakers. In the game against Russell County, the Indians trailed the majority of the game, but took their first lead of the second half 73-72 with under a minute to go. The Lakers unfortunately were able to pull it out, thanks to some free throws with less than a second to go. The leading scorer for the Tribe was Landon Blakey with 27, followed by John Shehan with 19. The team will wrap up summer ball action as they head to the KABC Bluegrass Shootout beginning this Saturday, June 21, 2025. 2025-06-18 14:25:08 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sports

Lightning danger begins at first sound of thunder If you are outdoors when you first hear thunder, seek shelter. The best shelter is indoors or in a hard-topped car. The worst shelter is under a tree, by a utility poll or any isolated tall structure. Even standing near a tree is dangerous since lightning travels along the ground surface. Never wait to take shelter until it starts raining or you hear thunder. By the time it starts to rain, lightning can already be operating up to 10 miles from the rain area.
