Basketball: Indians face John Hardin on Feb 20 By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer On Tuesday, February 17, 2026, the Adair County Indians Boys Varsity Basketball team fell at home 77-53 to the Caverna Colonels. Landon Blakey led the scoring for Adair County with 12, followed by Tylin George and Dawson Gilbert with 10 each. The Tribe struggled from the floor, going just 42%, and only 29% from three point range, as well as a poor 56% from the free throw line. Tylin George led the team in rebounding with four. Caverna shot the ball better from the floor, from three, and from the free throw line, while also out-rebounding Adair County. Adair County's leading scorer, Landon Blakey, would have not been within the top four scorers for the Colonels with his 12, and Tylin George's four rebounds that led the Tribe would have been fourth for Caverna. The Tribe will seek a better outing as they face the John Hardin Bulldogs (6-22) on the road to close out the regular season at 6:30pmCT on Friday, February 20, 2026, at John Hardin High School, 384 W A Jenkins Rd, Elizabethtown, KY.
