The Adair County High School Academic Team traveled to the University of Kentucky Saturday, October 21, 2017, for a PACE National Championship Qualifier against 32 of the best teams from across all corners of the state and teams from neighboring West Virginia. The team finished the Prelim rounds ranked in the Top 5, which bracketed them into the top 8 Finals where they won two of three matches, thus qualifying the team for the 2018 National Championship.

Adair was the only team in the tournament to have that many players in the top 20 percent of all scorers. Individual members part of this honor were Benjamin Hancock, Trevor Smith, Ty Cheatham, Samuel Willis, Chris Stuchell, and Maddie Harmon.
