Complete article has important link, list of team members, special records When the Academic Championships kick off tomorrow in Louisville, KY, a brainy, experienced Adair County High School academic team will be fielded by Coach Brett Reliford. Their accomplishments are giving the community much to crow about. Adair County Judge Ann Melton said, today, "I'm elated. Adair Countians are going to Lexington on Wednesday to back a great Adair County High School basketball team. I'm so proud of them. But I want everybody to know that I am just as proud of the Adair County High School Academic Team. Nothing can make me feel better about the future of Adair County than what these students are doing," she said. Mayor Pat Bell now proudly tells anybody who will listen that Columbia doesn't have to worry about economic development. "All we have to do is point to these kids and say, "'Look. We've got brains here.'" The Kentucky Academic Championships are held at the Galt house Hotel on the Ohio River in Louisville, KY.
