After a historic 2024 campaign, the Adair County Indians are gearing up for a fresh start and a new era of football under the Friday night lights. The Tribe finished last season with a remarkable 10-2 record — one of the best in program history — falling only to a senior-heavy Hart County team during the regular season.
The Indians’ postseason ended in the second round with a tough loss to Union County — the same team that goes on to knock Hart County out in round three. But despite the disappointment, last year set a new standard and laid a solid foundation for the 2025 squad to build on.
As the new season approaches, change is in the air. The Indians welcome a new head coach, Bryan Cross, who brings a fresh perspective and energy to the program. With the graduation of key seniors, the Tribe will look to a new wave of talent to lead the charge — including 27 rising seniors and juniors eager to make their mark.
The excitement around the program is also fueled by a revamped home field. Adair County will open the season against the Russell County Lakers on their newly turfed stadium — a modern upgrade that symbolizes the program’s forward momentum.
With returning experience, fresh leadership, and renewed energy, all signs point toward another exciting season for the Tribe. Fans won’t want to miss opening night as the Indians look to start the season strong and continue writing their legacy.
Kickoff against Russell County is just around the corner — and so is the next chapter of Adair County football.
