The night was intense, but emotional. February 20, 1986, the Adair County Indians were scheduled to play the Monroe County Falcons in the Home- coming Game. The game was originally scheduled for February 14, but was postponed due to snow. The evening began with the Girls’ Varsity Game which was well fought battle, but a disappointing loss for the Lady Indians. Minutes after the buzzer sounded, the homecoming festivities began. Young ladies wearing formals repre- sented various organizations at A.C.H.S. and were escorted by high school gentlemen wearing coats and ties. The room became silent as the run- ners-up and homecoming queen were announced: Third Runner-up, Steph- anie Turner (Girls' Basketball) escorted by Billy Matthews; Second Runner-up, Lavonne Brockman (Boys’ Basketball) escorted by Joe Loy; First Runner-up, Sarah Barbee (National Art Honor So- ciety) escorted by Tony Hodges and the 1986 Homecoming queen, Patricia Radford (FBLA) escorted by Corey McGuire. Other candidates nominated for the 1986 Homecoming queen were as follows: Bridget Gilpin (Beta) escort- ed by Shawn Williams; Tina Henson (Science Club) escorted by Anthony Spires; Beth Ann Brown (Band) escort- ed by David Cole; Norma Coomer (Co- op) escorted by Randy Wilkerson; Ann Grider (Drill Team) escorted by Brent Roach; Gail Walker (FHA) escorted by Mark Loy; Alma Irvin (Journalism) es- corted by Sam Black; Shelli Phipps (Li- brary) escorted by Mitch Major; Missy Greer (NHS) escorted by Russell Walker; Teresa Gilpin (Office Work- ers) escorted by Greg Brock, and Mary Hamlett (Youth Alive) escorted by Steve Rector. After the ceremony the Boys’ Varsity Basketball Game was played. It also was a well fought game but a disap- pointing loss for the Adair County Indi- ans as they lost by one point on a last second shot to Monroe County. Al- though the Indians were defeated, the spirit of A.C.H.S. was still alive as the buzzer sounded and the fans departed. — Robb Durham Intense But Emotional 24 Basketball Homecoming
