Football: Indians finish season with 35-19 victory By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer On Friday, October 30, 2026, the Adair County Indians Varsity Football team completed the 2026 campaign with a 35-19 home win over the Campbellsville Eagles, finishing the season with a record of 5-5. The Tribe was led in offensive production by Callum Darnell, who had 13 carries for 136 yards and a touchdown. Darnell also had five receptions for 46 yards. Through the air, Braxton McKinney went 7 for 15 for 133 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. McKinney also had two rushing touchdowns on five carries, amassing 52 yards. Madden Moye lead the team in receiving yards, with just one reception for 63 yards and a touchdown. Moye also tossed a pass for 20 yards. On special teams, Matthew MeJean went five for five on extra points and had two punts with a long one of 40. On defense, turnovers were big for the Tribe as they recovered three fumbles off the Eagles, two by leading tackler Tristan Mullins, who had 19 tackles. He was followed in that category by Brody Karnes and Jamus Black with 13 and 10 respectively. The Indians defense also racked up a remarkable 12 tackles for loss. Karnes lead the way with five, followed by Carson Cooper with three. This was a great ending to the season for the Tribe, who posted a solid performance this season. The Indians went 3-8 last season, and lost their by far largest source of offensive production. If the culture can remain, and key players and staff can remain, we should all look for further growth of Indians football next season! 2026-11-03 10:19:00 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sports
