USI Women’s Soccer adds Kelly and Brant to coaching staff

08/05/2025

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer and Head Coach Eric Schoenstein announced additions to the coaching staff, welcoming assistant coach Carter Kelly and graduate assistant coach Skylar Brant.

Kelly, who will assist as the goalkeeping coach and in other aspects of the program, joins the USI Women’s Soccer program with some familiarity with USI. Kelly also served as a volunteer goalkeeping coach with the USI Men’s Soccer team. He has also coached for the FCE United SC Academy in Evansville.

Before coming to the Southern Indiana area, Kelly had prior coaching experience at his alma mater, Randolph College in Lynchburg, Virginia, where he graduated in 2024, and Smithfield SC. He also coached at the varsity high school level for Brookville High School in Virginia.

Brant, who graduated from USI in 2021, returns to the USI Women’s Soccer program after competing for the Screaming Eagles under Schoenstein from 2017-20. The former Screaming Eagles goalkeeper was a member of the Screaming Eagles’ 2018 Great Lakes Valley Conference regular-season championship squad and the 2019 GLVC Tournament championship team that made an appearance in the NCAA Midwest Regional.

Brant, a Plymouth, Michigan native, attended Salem High School before coming and joining the Screaming Eagles in 2017.

Campbell hits first pro homer as Otters fall in extras

08/04/2025

0

FLORENCE, Ky. – The Evansville Otters (24-48) fall to the Florence Y’alls (31-39) 6-5 in 10 innings on Sunday Afternoon.

Evansville got the offense going early. In the first inning, Dennis Pierce led off the game with a walk to set the stage. He was later driven in after LJ Jones tapped one up the third base line and Pierce beat out the throw to home after a rundown. Two batters later, Logan Brown stepped up and lined one over the head of the second basemen to score Jones and make it 2-0.

The Y’alls would score in the first as well, but only got one against Evansville, who kept the lead at 2-1.

Fast forwarding to the third, the Otters scored after Ellis Schwartz reached via the walk and was later driven in by a JT Benson single.

Once again, Florence fought back in the home half of the inning. This time they scored two on a pair of RBI singles to tie it up at three. The next inning, in the fourth, a sacrifice fly would put them up 4-3.

The score held there until the sixth, when Jarred Campbell blasted a home run over the left field wall to tie it up at four. This was Campbell’s second hit of his young professional career and his first professional home run.

Two innings later in the eighth, Keenan Taylor lined one to the very top of the wall in the left field corner for a double. JJ Cruz then scored Taylor on an RBI single for the Otters to regain the lead at 5-4.

The Y’alls would tie it up once again in the ninth to send the two teams to extras for the second time this weekend. In the tenth, Florence would score and walk it off to a final score of 6-5.

Attorney General Todd Rokita speaks at U.S. Navy ceremony honoring crew 80 years after ship went down in 1945

USS Indianapolis was instrumental in securing victory for US in World War II

The sacrifice of the sailors and Marines aboard the USS Indianapolis when it sank 80 years ago continues — quite rightly — to be commemorated, Attorney General Todd Rokita said today. But some Americans, he added, may forget the pivotal role of that crew in securing victory for the United States in World War II.

The vessel made famous in World War II was a heavy cruiser commissioned in 1932. It carried 1,196 sailors and Marines at the time of its sinking. About 300 crew members went down with the ship, leaving about 890 to try to survive in shark-infested waters. By the time rescuers arrived after four days and five nights, they were able to save 316 individuals.

The crew of the USS Indianapolis delivered atomic bomb materials to Tinian Naval Base in the Pacific on July 26, 1945.

“Those materials were immediately loaded onto two U.S. B-29 aircraft that proceeded to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki,” Attorney General Rokita said. “As we all know, those bombings effectively secured the end of the war. The USS Indianapolis played a huge role, then, in achieving victory for America over the forces of fascism and imperial aggression.”

Attorney General Rokita spoke at a U.S. Navy ceremony in Jacksonville, Florida, commemorating the sinking of the USS Indianapolis on July 30, 1945, when it was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine.

Four U.S. Navy ships have borne the name USS Indianapolis, and Friday’s ceremony was held aboard the current one — a Freedom-class littoral combat ship commissioned in 2019.

“We honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice,” Attorney General Rokita said Friday, “and we honor those who survived.”

He expressed gratitude for the continued service of military personnel in modern times.

“You honor these past generations by following in their footsteps and — like they did — entering military service,” Attorney General Rokita said. “One of the best ways to honor our heroes of the past is to do the work necessary to ensure we win the future.”

Civilians can honor the service of U.S. military personnel by considering the things for which they are willing to fight and die, he added, and dedicating themselves to finding ways to work to preserve those same things.

“Going forward, we must fight for America to remain a beacon of liberty,” he said. “We must fight for America to remain safe and for America to remain strong.”

Reminding drivers to stay alert near bus stops

School is back in session and the Indiana Department of Transportation is reminding Hoosiers to look out for the increased number of school buses on the road again. Our goal is to keep Hoosier students safe and make sure drivers are aware of school bus stop procedures. Indiana law requires drivers to stop when a school bus has its stop arm extended and red lights flashing. Failure to do so can result in a traffic ticket and your driver’s license being suspended. Here are helpful reminders from the Indiana State Police on how to navigate the roads as school buses pick up and drop off students:
Two-lane roadways: If a school bus stops on a two-lane road and the red flashing lights are activated and the stop arm is extended, all motorists MUST stop. Multi-lane roadways with no barrier between lanes: When a school bus stops on a multi-lane roadway without a barrier and the red flashing lights are activated and the stop arm is extended, all motorists MUST stop. Multi-lane roadway with a grassy and/or concrete barrier: When a school bus stops and the red flashing lights are activated and the stop arm is extended, only vehicles behind the bus MUST stop. Vehicles that are approaching from the opposite side are NOT required to stop. Above all, slow down and be alert to the increased number of pedestrians and bus stops on your commutes. Students should also pay attention while crossing streets and at bus stops. To learn more about student safety tips, click here.

New law will hold prosecutors accountable

08/04/2025

by Tim O’Brien

Nationally, there’s been a rise in progressive criminal justice policies like cashless bail, efforts to defund the police or a reluctance to prosecute crimes. To protect public safety, I supported a new law creating a review board to investigate prosecutors who refuse to enforce our laws. The board will be composed of five members from the Indiana Prosecuting Attorneys Council’s board of directors with no more than four being from the same political party. This structure ensures a balanced and fair approach to oversight. Board members serve four-year terms and may be reappointed to provide continuity and experience in the review process. Our new state budget also increases funding for the State Police by nearly $50 million each of the next two years, and funds the High-Tech Crime Unit(HTCU) and the Indiana Crime Guns Task Force. The HTCU assists prosecuting attorneys in investigating, collecting evidence and prosecuting high-tech crimes. In 2022 and 2023, it handled 4,583 cases and examined 7,580 devices.
