Hall of Fame
As a high school junior and senior, Adcock played basketball with the Young Harris Junior College team while attending the Young Harris Academy. He led the team in rebounding and was an All-State performer during each of his four seasons at Young Harris.
Adcock received a basketball scholarship from the University of Alabama. He played one season, spent three years in military service, and returned to Alabama for his senior season as a team captain and was again a rebounding leader.
Adcock began his coaching career at Walter Wellborn High School in 1963 and never left. He served as the varsity basketball coach for 15 years and was named Calhoun County Coach of the Year three times. He retired as a teacher in 1996, but continues to work as a substitute teacher and volunteer.
In 2005, the gymnasium at Walter Wellborn High School, where he hit a career milestone of more than 400 wins, was renamed in his honor. He was a member of the inaugural class of the Coweta (Georgia) Sports Hall of Fame in 2003 and was inducted into the Calhoun County Sports Hall of Fame in Alabama in 2012.
