Basketball: Indians head to Monroe Co. on Tuesday By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer On Tuesday, January 13, 2026, the Adair County Indians Boys Varsity Basketball team travels to face the Monroe County Falcons (10-4). The Indians come off a 63-60 win over Taylor County, while the Falcons come off a 48-42 win over Barren County. The Falcons and the Tribe share three mutual opponents. Both have faced Cumberland County, Barren County, and Russell County. Monroe County lost at home, 70-59, to Cumberland County, won 48-42 at home against Barren County, and won 59-49 at home against Russell County. Meanwhile, the Indians defeated Cumberland County 71-66 at home, defeated Barren County 89-74 at home, and beat Russell County 83-80 on the road. The names to watch from Monroe County are seniors Brison Nuckolas and Branson Williams, who are averaging 17.3 and 12.8 points per game respectively. Nuckols is also top 20 in the state in free throw percentage at the moment, averaging 85.5% from the line. Williams is the Falcons' major threat in the post, and is averaging nearly a double-double, with a team-leading 9.8 rebounds per game to go along with his 12.8 points. The key for the Indians tonight will be an efficient offense that can dump points and overwhelm the Falcons. Monroe County has the 22nd best defense in the state of Kentucky, giving up just over 50 points per game, while the Indians have the 14th best offense in the state, averaging 75 point per game. One of them will have to give in this matchup. The game will follow the battle between the Lady Indians and the Lady Falcons. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:30pmCT on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, at Monroe County High School, 755 Old Mulkey Rd, Tompkinsville, KY. 2026-01-13 13:25:36 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sports
Basketball: Lady Indians win 4th straight By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer On Monday, January 12, 2026, the Adair County Lady Indians dominated the LaRue County Lady Hawks, scoring an impressive 61-15 win in Hodgenville. The game started out with the two teams battling to a six point difference after the first quarter, 16-10 in favor of Adair County. But the distance between the teams quickly grew as the Lady Indians stretched their advantage to 21 by halftime, 35-14. Adair County then fully shut down the LaRue County offense, holding them scoreless for the entire third quarter. The Lady Indians scored 19 more to gain a 40 point advantage going into the fourth quarter. The smothering defense from the Tribe continued in the fourth quarter. The team eventually surrendered just one additional point to LaRue County for the entire 2nd half, by far the most impressive defensive performance I have ever seen in person. Adair County's offense, on the other hand, scored seven in the final period to bring the final score to 61-15. Ila Loy led the scoring for Adair County with 18, followed by Reese Bardin with 14, and Kinzlee Akin with 9. The team has now won four straight games and improves to 8-5 on the season, continuing their incredible success on the road. The Lady Indians are 7-2 when playing away from home this season. They will be back on the road to face the Monroe County Lady Falcons (10-5) on at 6pmCT on Tuesday, January 13, 2026. 2026-01-13 13:13:53 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sports
