Bio

David Adams hails from Carr Creek, KY, and is a graduate of Knott County Central High School. He attended Alice Lloyd from 1979-1981, where he majored in Health and PE Education. He later completed his degree and received his Master’s from Morehead State University. He was a two-year member of the Eagles basketball team, as ALC was still a junior college when he attended.

During his playing career at Alice Lloyd, he quickly proved to be a solid contributor at the guard position. In 1980, he helped lead the Eagles to the Elite 8 in the National Little College Tournament. In his second year, he led the squad to the District Title and was named Tournament MVP. In the nationals, he led the team to a third-place finish and was named to the All-Tournament Team for his efforts.

After working in the public school system for several years, he returned to Alice Lloyd in 2005 to become head coach of the ALC Lady Eagles Basketball squad. His 2007 club finished as the Kentucky Intercollegiate Athletic Conference regular-season champions and the tournament runner-up. That season, he was voted Conference Coach of the Year. In 2008, he again led the Lady Eagles to a high placement, and they finished the year as the KIAC Tournament Runner-up for a second time.

Currently, he resides in Carr Creek, Kentucky, and is employed by the Knott County Board of Education. He has served his community as an educator for 34 years.

He was accompanied on the floor by his wife Vonda, son Seth, daughter-in-law Savannah, and his grandson Bennett.
