Aces Travel To Eastern Illinois

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The month of November wraps up on Sunday when the University of Evansville men’s basketball team travels to Eastern Illinois for a 1 p.m. contest in Charleston.  ESPN+ and the Purple Aces Radio Network will have the call.

Last Time Out

– Jawaun Newton posted the first double-double of his career, scoring 19 points while setting his new benchmark with 10 rebounds

– Antoine Smith Jr. added 16 while Shamar Givance scored 12

– The Zips held a 33-20 lead at the half before Evansville got within a possession in the final period before Akron pulled away late in the contest

He Didn’t Miss

– Monday’s Gulf Coast Showcase opener versus Rice saw Antoine Smith Jr. put forth one of the most efficient games in program history, going a perfect 9-for-9 from the field and 6-of-6 from outside

– Smith finished the game with 24 points while seeing over 40 minutes of action, both career highs

– He followed that up with 16 points in the finale against Akron

Checking all the Boxes

– Following a 16-point effort in the Vermont game, Newton recorded the first double-double of his career with 19 points and 10 caroms against Akron

Providing the Assist

– Shamar Givance continues to rack up the assists this season, ranking 6th in the MVC with an average of 3.8 per game

– He has 4 or more helpers in four of the last five games including a season-high of 7 against DePauw

– Every time he takes the floor, Givance is a threat to record a triple-double and he has continued on that path…following a 7-point, 5-assist, 4-rebound effort at Cincinnati, Givance led the Aces in points (16), rebounds (7) and steals (3) in the victory against IUPUI

Scouting the Opponent

– Monday’s Gulf Coast Showcase opener versus Rice saw Antoine Smith Jr. put forth one of the most efficient games in program history, going a perfect 9-for-9 from the field and 6-of-6 from outside

– Smith finished the game with 24 points while seeing over 40 minutes of action, both career highs

– He followed that up with 16 points in the finale against Akron

The  Week in Indiana History
VU

1806     The Indiana Territorial Legislature chartered Vincennes University, the first institution of higher learning in Indiana. Founded by William Henry Harrison, it is one of only three universities established by a United States President.  The others are the University of Virginia, founded by Thomas Jefferson, and the University of Buffalo, established, in part, by Millard Fillmore.
steam

1838     Governor David Wallace and a group of prominent citizens took the first steam train ride in Indiana.  They traveled along 15 miles of track owned by the Madison and Indianapolis Railroad.  They rode to Graham’s Fork near the Muscatatuck River.  It was reported that at one point on the trip they reached a speed of 8 miles an hour.
Hendricks1885     The body of United States Vice President Thomas Hendricks lay in state in the Marion County Courthouse in Indianapolis.  The funeral procession had started at the Hendricks home at Tennessee and Ohio Streets and traveled across Washington Street, where every building was draped in black.  Hendricks, Vice President under Grover Cleveland, had also served as Governor of Indiana.  Pictured:  The statue of Hendricks on the south lawn of the Indiana Statehouse.
Reynolds1923     Frank Reynolds was born in East Chicago.  He attended Bishop Noll Institute in Hammond and went on to graduate from Wabash College.  He was awarded a Purple Heart in World War II.  Beginning a broadcasting career at WWCA  Radio in Gary, he moved into television where he rose to the anchor position on ABC’s “World News Tonight.”
gas1942     Gas rationing went into effect across the nation.  President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked Americans to conserve fuel and rubber for use in World War II.  Drivers were issued stickers to place on windshields to indicate how much gasoline they were authorized to purchase.

50 YEARS AGO

1971     The Indiana State Highway Commission reported that nearly 82 percent of the planned interstate system in the state was open to traffic.  Five interstates were completed, including the I-465 belt around Indianapolis, I-80, I-90, I-74, and I-69 from Castleton to Michigan.  I-65 was expected to be open to Taylorsville within the next six months.

Did You Know?

     During World War II, the United States Office of Price Administration had the authority to ration the sale of gasoline.  Each car was assigned a sticker which identified the vehicle’s fuel allotment.  The most common sticker was “A.”  It was issued to the general public and authorized the holder to purchase four gallons of gas per week.  The “B” sticker was provided to business owners and allowed eight gallons each week.  A “C” sticker was given to physicians, nurses, dentists, clergy members, and construction workers.  In most cases, the “C” sticker permitted the purchase of eight gallons of gasoline per week.

KAI EDMONDS, THUNDERBOLTS SHUT OUT MAYHEM 3-0 

0

Macon, Ga.: After nearly getting the shutout on Saturday against Roanoke, Kai Edmonds came through on his second attempt, stopping all 18 shots as Evansville opened the weekend series in Macon with a 3-0 victory. The Thunderbolts next home game will be on Saturday, December 4th at 7:00pm CT as they host the Birmingham Bulls.  For tickets, call (812)422-BOLT (2658), buy online at EvansvilleThunderbolts.com, or buy tickets in person at the Ford Center Box Office.

 

Peter De Coppi opened the scoring for Evansville at 15:12 of the first period, assisted by TJ Dockery and Mike Ferraro.  In the second period, Macon’s Brett Menton would get into penalty trouble by dropping the gloves against an unwilling Evansville player, and as a result was ejected from the game and set up a major power play for Evansville.  Zane Jones converted on the power play, scoring at 18:20 from Hayden Hulton and Brandon Lubin to extend the Thunderbolts lead to 2-0.  Late in regulation, Macon pulled goaltender Michael Stiliadis, but Tanner Butler was able to score into the empty net with 36 seconds remaining to finish off the scoring, 3-0 for Evansville.

 

De Coppi, Jones and Butler scored the Evansville goals, while Dockery, Ferraro, Hulton, and Lubin tallied an assist each.  Edmonds made 18 saves on 18 shots, tallying his first professional shutout and his 2nd win of the season. It also marked the third Thunderbolts shutout win of the season, setting a new franchise single-season record.  The Thunderbolts next face the Mayhem in Macon on Saturday, November 27th at 5:30pm CT.

 

The Thunderbolts are currently competing in their fifth season in the SPHL (Southern Professional Hockey League).  Season tickets are less than $9 per game.  To order your tickets for this season, call 812-422-BOLT(2658).

Salvation Army Aims To Make Christmas Merrier For Those Who Goes Without

0

Red kettles have been catching donations for poverty-stricken families for over 100 years.

It started in 1891 in San Francisco, when Salvation Army Capt. Joseph McFee was concerned by the number of families who would be going hungry on Christmas. He thought back to when he was a sailor in England and donations for the poor would be put in a large kettle pot.

McFee re-created it, in cherry red, for the holiday season. With all the money he raised in that kettle, he was able to host a communal dinner for the needy in his city.

The Salvation Army has kept this tradition alive all across the world—and especially in Indiana. This year, central Indiana’s Salvation Army hopes to raise $3.3 million through its “Hope Marches On” campaign. The organization will be collecting money in those same iconic red kettles that McFee used in 1891.

Maj. Marc Johnson, divisional commander of the Salvation Army Indiana Division, said that along with the kettle the tradition of helping local communities also carries on.

“People can be assured that what they are giving at their local location is staying to help their neighbors who need the help,” Johnson said.

According to Welfare Info, one out of five Hoosiers living in Indianapolis experiences poverty. This number is significantly higher than the state’s overall poverty percentage of 14.6%. The 2020 census found that the United States poverty rate is 11.6%, meaning that 37.2 million American citizens are under the poverty line.

The Salvation Army annually helps more than 23 million Americans overcome poverty through a range of social services that expand beyond the kettle.

It offers its Angel Tree Program during the holiday season as well. The purpose of the program is to provide presents for parents who might not be able to fill underneath the tree otherwise. Families will provide donors with a Christmas list, and donors will go out and shop and leave the presents with the Salvation Army to distribute.

“We’ve been having this program for over 40 years now, and  it’s always been just tremendous feedback,” Johnson said. “It really helps people know that, you know, there are people who care about you.”

Johnson says that all this work could not be done without the loyal volunteers and donors the Salvation Army has. The organization is still taking volunteers for those who want to get involved, especially during the holiday season. It even still has slots open to ring the bell next to those iconic kettles.

“The Salvation Army helps connect people,” Johnson said, “especially at Christmas time.”
