Football: Indians travel to Glasgow on Friday By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer The Adair County Indians Varsity Football team is back in action tonight as they go on the road to face unbeaten Glasgow (4-0). This is certainly the toughest test the Tribe has faced yet on the young season, as Glasgow has been lighting up scoreboards in every one of their outings, including their 48-0 win over Allen County Scottsville last week. The Scotties are led by a high power passing attack with QB Landen Holley already passing for 943 yards and 13 touchdowns this season, as well as rushing for 5, while turning the ball over just twice. He has at his disposal receivers Jaylen Bradley and Keyshawn Austin, both of whom have proven to be major deep threats and difficult to cover this season. Austin has already posted seven receiving touchdowns in just four games. The Tribe defense will need to have their heads on a swivel to slow down this Glasgow offense, which also features a solid rushing attack led by Kyle Sledge and Kaebran Jones. There should be no bones made about this one, Glasgow will push, stretch, and test the Tribe in ways not yet done this season. By most metrics and expectations, Adair County should be the underdog in this one. Despite that, if Adair County can stay together and perform to their best this team has shown they can majorly exceed, so if you can, please make the trip to support your Indians as they face the Scotties. Kickoff is scheduled for 7pmCT on Friday, September 18, 2026, at Glasgow High School , 1601 Columbia Ave, Glasgow, KY. Tickets are $8 online at gofan.co. 2026-09-18 12:51:07 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sports

Lindsey Wilson University community celebrates the Constitution By Duane Bonifer On the 239th birthday of the U.S. Constitution, one of the secrets of the oldest government blueprint's longevity is its ability to be flexible. That was one of the observations made by three Lindsey Wilson University professors during an afternoon roundtable discussion about the Constitution on Thursday, September 17, 2026, in the Thomas D. Clark Reading Room of the Katie A. Murrell Library. The discussion about the Constitution was part of a day celebrating America's living document at Lindsey Wilson, which included a bell-ringing ceremony at the Alumni Victory Bell. The events were sponsored by the Lindsey Wilson History Club in partnership with the Jane Lampton Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution in Columbia.

Football: I'm Gonna Say It By Ryan Hoots Sports Director, UntdWeStnd.com Lexington, KY - Okay, I was busting at the seam with the Week 1 Kool Aid and convinced myself Kentucky was beating Alabama in the sport of football. I was as wrong as wrong could be, lambasted for it on social media (deservedly so), and had to take it on the chin. But, I did develop my first real on-field take of the Will Stein era. Now, putting the nail in the coffin on Will Stein would be like getting fired on your first day. Only reserved for the worst of actions, of which losing to Alabama in football does not fall into that category. However, it doesn't mean that I am going to let Stein off without giving a few thoughts either. And boy, do I have a thought.
