Basketball: A season for the history books By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer The Adair County Indians Boys Varsity Basketball team fell 52-51 to Bowling Green in the first round of the KHSAA UK HealthCare Boys' Sweet 16 Tournament in Rupp Arena on Wednesday, March 26, 2025. The Indians fought hard. After trailing most of the game, they took their first lead of the second half with a minute left in regulation, forcing the Purples into overtime. The game remained tight in overtime, until a late bucket by 4th Region preseason Player of the Year Deuce Bailey would win it for the Purples by just one point. Despite the stinging loss, the great accomplishment by this year's Indians squad--back-to-back State Tournament appearances for the first time in 70 years--will not soon be forgotten.
