North Hardin actually led 18-13 at the end of the first and 27-24 at the half, but it was basically all Adair from there. Despite having 27 points in the first half, the Trojans would find themselves with 34 points halfway through the fourth quarter, largely due to a scoring drought that lasted roughly six minutes.

I'd have to think that the Indians are going to be favored in the final, but the 5th has been very unpredictable this season. The two haven't played head-to-head, but there are obviously some common opponents. Two of interest-- Adair narrowly lost to Taylor County in their district final; Bethlehem turned around and narrowly beat Taylor in the regional tournament five days later. Adair County also split a pair of games with the same LaRue County team that Bethlehem just upset, with LaRue falling by two in their first meeting and Adair winning by nine in the second.
