Mundell’s 2012 UIS Team Receives Hall of Fame Nod

0

The 2012 University of Illinois Springfield softball team, which was led by University of Evansville head coach Mat Mundell, will be part of the 2020 UIS Hall of Fame class.

 The 2012 UIS softball program made athletics history when it became the first Prairie Stars squad to make a NCAA Division II postseason field. UIS finished the year with a 36-22 overall record and went 22-12 in conference play. It won the GLVC West Division Regular Season title and reached the championship games of the GLVC Postseason Tournament and the NCAA Division II Midwest Regional Tournament.

“I am so excited for the 2012 team to be inducted into the Hall of Fame,” Mundell said.  “It was an amazing group of young women.  What they were able to accomplish on the field was special, but what they have become off of it is more impressive!  I was blessed to be able to coach them.”

UIS ended its regular season by winning 23 of its final 32 contests, and it earned the No. 2 seed in the conference tournament. After splitting the first two games, the Prairie Stars won three straight to reach the finals. After receiving a bid to the NCAA Regional event, UIS lost its first game before winning two straight, including a 5-1 victory over top-seed Indianapolis. The season ended with a one-run loss in the regional finals.

They were led by an offense that averaged 4.53 runs a game, and it ranked seventh in the nation with 2.29 stolen bases per game. The Prairie Stars had three first-team all-conference players in Sarah Gray, Rachel Wood, and Heather Gradishar, and Mandy Smith was a second-team all-GLVC selection.

 

ETFCU sponsoring free live-stream viewing
of all athletic contests in EVSC gymnasiums

0

Thanks to a partnership between the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp. and Evansville Teachers Federal Credit Union, all athletic contests taking place in EVSC gymnasiums through March 2021 will be live-streamed at no cost to viewers.

The EVSC will use HUDL Focus cameras that follow the action at boys’ and girls’ basketball games – varsity, junior varsity and freshman – and wrestling matches in its gyms at Bosse, Central, Harrison, North and Reitz high schools. ETFCU is covering rights fees for the IHSAA and subscription fees at IHSAATV.org to allow viewing on smart phones, tablets, and smart televisions.

EVSC officials identified the need because COVID restrictions will limit in-person attendance to two fans per participant. With the live stream, extended families, friends, students and alumni can keep up with the action. Schedules will be posted at www.ihsaatv.org/evsc, and fans can select what they want to view from the listings. To maintain COVID protocol, the public-address system in each gym will double as the announcer.

“These cameras are amazing – it’s as if you’re in the gym following the action yourself,” said Andy Owen, EVSC director of athletics. “You’ll hear the whistles and be able to follow the action. As a bonus, coaches can use the system to break down video and share with their teams without necessarily having to meet as a group.”

The agreement with IHSAATV.org includes all regular-season games played in the gyms, as well as any postseason tournament events hosted by an EVSC school – including sectional and regional wrestling, and the Class 4A sectionals in both boys’ and girls’ basketball.

Fans of non-EVSC schools also will be able to view the livestreams.

ETFCU, the sponsor, was founded in Evansville in 1936. It has grown to more than 220,000 members and $2 billion in assets, and been honored nationally in the past two years for its community service, its leadership, and its product line including free Vertical Checking, which pays 3.30% APY on any balance up to $20,000. ETFCU now operates 25 branch offices in Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee.

“Left Jab” And “Middle Jab” And “Right Jab” November 13, 2020

“Right Jab And Middle Jab And Left Jab” was created because we have a couple of commenters that post on a daily basis either in our “IS IT TRUE” or “Readers Forum” columns concerning National or International issues.

The majority of our “IS IT TRUE” columns are about local or state issues, so we have decided to give our more opinionated readers exclusive access to our newly created “LEFT JAB and Middle Jab and RIGHT JAB”  column. They now have this post to exclusively discuss national or world issues that they feel passionate about.
We shall be posting the “LEFT JAB” AND “MIDDLE JAB” AND “RIGHT JAB” several times a week.  Oh, “LEFT JAB” is a liberal view, “MIDDLE JAB” is the libertarian view and the “RIGHT JAB is representative of the more conservative views. Also, any reader who would like to react to the written comments in this column is free to do so

USI delays Hall of Fame inductions for 2021

0
University of Southern Indiana Athletics announced that it will not have a 2021 USI Athletic Hall of Fame class and induction ceremony on campus this spring due to COVID-19. The USI Athletic Hall of Fame committee said it would increase the size of classes in 2022 and 2023 to make up for the cancellation in 2021.
“The USI Athletic Hall of Fame Committee was ready to select a class for 2021 from the many outstanding candidates on the ballot this year,” said Jon Mark Hall, USI Director of Athletics. “The consensus among the committee was any class which was selected deserves an induction ceremony and due to COVID-19 that was not going to happen this year.“Our former student-athletes, coaches, and teams are a source of great pride for the University and everyone selected for the Hall of Fame should have their own evening to be celebrated,” said Hall.

The USI Athletic Hall of Fame has inducted 94 former student-athletes, coaches, administrators, and teams since 2007.

COVID-19 Cases And Hospitalizations Climb As State Revenues Decline

By LaMonte Richardson Jr.
TheStatehouseFile.com

INDIANAPOLIS—As the number of new cases and deaths from COVID-19 continues to reach record-high levels, Indiana’s hospital workers are feeling the strain and the economy is struggling to recover.

On Tuesday, the Indiana State Department of Health reported that 4,879 additional Hoosiers have been diagnosed with COVID-19, making the total number of Hoosiers known to have had COVID-19 219,338. A total of 4,481 Hoosiers have died from COVID-19, an increase of 63 from the previous day.

Indiana reached a record-breaking 2,336 Hoosiers hospitalized by COVID-19 as of Sunday. This comes after hospitalizations were as low as 754 at the end of September and 595 in late July. The state also saw a 9.9% seven-day positivity rate in all tests and a 19.2% positivity rate in unique individuals.

The ever-climbing number of people hospitalized with the highly contagious novel coronavirus is having an impact on hospitals across the state, prompting Brian Tabor, president of the Indiana Hospital Association, to say that all Hoosiers should be alarmed by the trends.

Tabor issued a statement Tuesday saying hospitalizations have increased 143% since Oct. 1 and many hospitals are reporting shortages among nurses, doctors and other front-line workers who have been fighting the pandemic since spring.

“Please give these courageous health care heroes some much-needed relief by wearing a face covering, practicing social distancing, washing your hands, and staying home when you are sick,” Tabor said. “We need everyone to take these steps to relieve the enormous strain on the system at this critical time.”

Meanwhile, the state’s revenues have been hit by the pandemic. The Indiana State Budget Agency released the October report of revenue collections showed a drop of more than $425 million compared to September and $803 million compared to July.

But year-over-year revenue figures are distorted by the pandemic because some taxes that should have been paid by April 15 were deferred to July 15. That means revenue that should have been counted in the last fiscal year aren’t showing up until the current one.

General revenue came in at about $1.2 billion, the budget agency reported. Overall, 16 months into the current two-year budget cycle—July 2019 through October—the general fund revenues are $515.2 million below estimates based on the December 2019 forecast.

The major sources of Indiana’s revenue come from sales and use taxes, individual income tax collections, corporate taxes, riverboat, and racino wagering among others racino wagering, All wagering has been performing well below monthly estimates as COVID-19 has limited casino attendance. Riverboat performing 27.2% below estimates and racino wagering performing at 17.8% below estimates since July.
