RCHS vs ACHS - 2011

On Friday, February 11th, starting at 5:30 PM, Duo County Telecom will be providing both Russell and Adair County Video customers with a LIVE broadcast of the biggest rivalry in South Central Kentucky on channel (1)02.


Although Russell County High School (RCHS) and Adair County High School (ACHS) are in different districts, the battle between these two teams is never dull and always full of great talent.


Over the past several years, Duo County Telecom viewers have been able to watch local high school talent mature on their television. Players like Bryon Ellis, Robbie Bell, and Bryson McFall have graced the Laker’s Court and former Adair County Indians, Darren Ballou and Kalen Kimberland are now productive players at Lindsey Wilson College under Coach Paul Peck.


Videographer for Lindsey Wilson College, Travis Smith, tells about his experience co-producing the Adair/Russell County games. “It's a neat experience to be able to bring this great rivalry into the homes of Adair and Russell County. Being a former Russell County varsity basketball player, (1999-2001) it makes it even more satisfying. I'm just glad we can make it available to those who enjoy watching games at home or have trouble getting out from time-to-time due to health reasons. Making a difference for those people is what it's all about."


Be sure to tune in or come out to the game this Friday to watch the Lakers versus the Indians and thanks for supporting your local schools!
