This past Monday as students were heading to school like normal, the Adair County golf team got a day off from school work to participate in the annual Heartland Conference.
Adair County got the opportunity to host this year at The Pines consisting of six teams total: Adair County, Green County, Taylor County, Campbellsville, Washington County, and Marion County.

Coach Randy Rexroat and several other helpers done a fantastic job preparing for the tournament and running a very successful day for all the athletes.
“It was a great day of golf with players from six different schools scoring some of the lowest rounds of the year,” Coach Rexroat said. “Taylor County, one of the top teams in the state, won the boys’ division while Marion County won the girls’ conference tournament.”

Groups went off of three different tee locations including holes number one, six, and 10.
Adair County shot a team total of 384 with Mason Adams leading with an 87, Tate Sharpe shot 95, Chase Coomer 97, Anthony Koenig 105, and Jagger Kemp 115. Only the top four scores are counted for each team to get the team totals.
“We had two players for us that show their lowest rounds this year in Sharpe and Adams,” Coach Rexroat said. “We are improving our scores as the season comes to an end.”
Madelyn Brian, who is the lone female player for Adair County, shot a 108 for her individual score.

Taylor County boys won the event with a total of 287 while also having the top three lowest individual scores of the day with a 69, 70, and 73. Luke Coyle was the first place medalist, shooting a 69.
Marion County won the girls conference title with a team total of 474 and the low scoring medalist for the tournament was Addie Westbrook from Taylor County with a 76.

“A lot of work went into hosting the tournament,” Coach Rexroat said. “I would like to thank Coach Eric Wyrick and his staff, the parents of the players, Robbie Davidson, Coach Tyler Sharpe of Green County, Tommy Steele, and Mr. Brent Campbell for all the help with the tournament.”

The golf team has only three more matches before they will compete in the regional tournament. The girls region will be held in Bardstown on Sept. 30 and the boys will be held October 1 in Danville. Good luck as they finish our their season.

Adair County football fans get ready: Friday night will get the season started. The Indians will travel to take on Russell County in the annual WAVE Bowl at 7 p.m. tomorrow night as Adair County looks to pick up a win to open the season.

I love football season and all the excitement it brings, whether it be high school, college, or the NFL. The Indians will get their season started, there’s a few college games this weekend, and the NFL will get underway in just a few weeks. If you are a football fan of any kind, then it’s a very exciting time.

Hopefully a large crowd will travel to Russell County to support our local Indians and new head coach Van Isaac. The team will be looking to get started in the right direction and they will be looking to win the WAVE bowl for the first time since 2016. They have lost the previous two match ups after winning three in a row from 2014 to 2016.

Their won’t be a home football game for the Indians until Sept. 13, but they have a couple games that are close by for those who are willing to travel.
I’ve heard from many coaches and players that fan support is a big asset to teams at home and especially on the road. After the game at Russell County tomorrow night, they will travel to Campbellsville next week and then to Barren County following that.

Coach Van Isaac is excited to get the season underway and believes that defense will be the key to a win.

“We have to stop their transfer player, number three,” he said. “If we play great defense we will win.”
Good luck to the Indians as they get the season kicked off and hopefully for a successful season.
