Daily News for Friday, December 12, 2025
Basketball: Indians travel to Marion Co. Friday By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer The Indians Boys and Girls Basketball teams will return to the court on Friday, December 12, 2025 for yet another 20th District matchup at Marion County High School, 735 E Main St, Lebanon, KY. One ticket gets access to both games, and tickets can be purchased online at eventlink.com. The Adair County Lady Indians game last night against Elizabethtown was cancelled due to weather, but they should be full of energy coming off a 74-14 win on Tuesday over Fort Knox. The Tribe could benefit greatly from a win today as it will give them an early step up over the Lady Knights in 20th District standings. Marion County comes off a 65-46 loss on the road against Green County on Tuesday. The Lady Indians matchup gets underway at 5:30pmCT. The Adair County Indians Boys Varsity Basketball team's matchup with the Knights is set to follow, with tip off at 7pmCT. The Knights come off a 81-68 win over Green County on December 9, 2025, while the Tribe comes off a loss to Campbellsville last week. The Indians are set to be back at full strength though, as key players are expected to return to the court tonight. The Indians need a win in this one to get back on track. 2025-12-12 15:58:46 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sports
