Evansville Bids Farewell to Author and Community Leader Mike Whicker

Evansville, IN — Mike Whicker, author of the renowned Erika Lehmann WWII spy series and a cherished Evansville community figure, has passed away. His literary work highlighted the city’s role during the war and resonated with readers both locally and nationally. Whicker drew upon local history and his deep knowledge of WWII to craft the engaging historical fiction series.

Beyond his literary success, Whicker began his career as a plumber, later earning a degree in English Education. He taught English and Literature at F.J. Reitz High School, where he also coached for years and supported athletics as a member of Big Blue Boosters.

A dedicated community servant, Whicker played a pivotal role in securing the LST 325’s permanent location in Evansville, serving as the executive director of the LST 325 Memorial after its arrival. He was a member of Germania Maennerchor, served as Vanderburgh County Commissioner in 2007, and served several other boards and organizations.

Whicker’s contributions to the community, both as an educator and public servant, leave a legacy. His presence will be missed by many, but his work and influence will continue to inspire. Whicker is survived by his wife of 51 years, Sandy, his five children – all who have followed Whicker’s legacy as public servants, and 15 grandchildren.

A Mass of the Resurrection will be held on Wednesday, October 16th, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. at Sacred Heart Catholic Church – 2701 W. Franklin St., Evansville, IN 47712. Friends may visit from 10:00 a.m. until Mass time on Wednesday at the church. Condolences may be made online at www.browningfuneral.com.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Men’s Soccer opened Ohio Valley Conference play with a 2-1 win over Eastern Illinois University Sunday afternoon at Strassweg Field. The Screaming Eagles, who are 2-2-0 during the homestand, are 2-7-0 overall and 1-0-0 in the OVC, while the Panthers go to 1-5-2, 0-1-0 OVC.

USI sophomore forward Jackson Mitchell gave the Eagles an early 1-0 lead with a breakaway goal at 9:57. Mitchell, who scored his second goal of the year and for the second-straight match, was assisted on the play by senior midfielder Elmer Garcia and freshman forward David Davilla.

The Eagles held the 1-0 lead through the intermission. USI was dominant for the first 45 minutes, outshooting EIU, 8-4 (5-2 on-goal), and had the advantage in corner kicks, 3-1.

In the second half, the Panthers found the back of the Eagles’ goal at 66:47, knotting the score at 1-1. USI would respond with the game-winner 10 minutes later when senior defender Brock Martindale scored to give the Eagles a 2-1 lead.

Martindale was assisted on his first USI career goal by freshman midfielder Ahiro Nakamae and sophomore midfielder Will Kirchhofer.

The USI defense would make the 2-1 lead stand up for the final 14 minutes, limiting EIU to only two off-goal shots. The Eagles also had a 10-6 lead in shots during the second half, while the Panthers led in corner kicks, 3-2.

Between the posts, sophomore goalkeeper Andrew Klott posted his second-straight win. Klott faced a total of 10 shots, allowing one goal and making four saves.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer battled Eastern Illinois University to a 1-1 draw Sunday at Strassweg Field, claiming the fifth consecutive result for the Screaming Eagles.

Southern Indiana (2-6-4, 1-0-2 OVC) still had to deal with rain and soggy field conditions against Eastern Illinois (2-5-5, 0-1-2 OVC) on Sunday as they did last time out on Thursday. The two teams contested for possession in a defensive start to the first half.

Junior midfielder Emerson Grafton, who scored in the last game Thursday, had two shot chances in the first 20 minutes. Junior midfielder Peyton Murphy had two shots with one on goal in the first half. Defensively, USI remained strong with several blocked shots.

Southern Indiana grabbed a 1-0 lead in the 38^th minute. Following a corner kick that pinballed around in the box, freshman midfielder Ana Munyon tapped it back to fellow freshman midfielder Emma Schut for a shot into the right-side netting. The goal was Schut’s second of the season.

Working with a 1-0 advantage out of halftime, Southern Indiana started the second half on the attack with multiple shots including four on goal in the first 15 minutes of the second stanza.

A big sequence in the second half came just after the 60-minute mark. Eastern Illinois was awarded a free kick inches outside the top of the box. The free kick went off the post and was cleared out by USI’s defense. However, Eastern Illinois tied the match later, 1-1, in the 79^th minute off a corner kick.

The Eagles could not collect the potential game-winning goal after a couple of shot attempts late, as the match ended in a draw.

USI tallied 17 shots with 12 coming in the second half. Eastern Illinois totaled nine shots in the contest. Southern Indiana had a 6-2 advantage in shots on goal. Emerson Grafton led USI with four shots. Schut and Murphy were among four Screaming Eagles to record two shot attempts. Seven of USI’s starters played a full 90 minutes.

By the end of the early afternoon slate in the Ohio Valley Conference, Southern Indiana was fourth with five points.

Next, the Screaming Eagles will travel to St. Charles, Missouri, on Thursday for a 7 p.m. kickoff at Lindenwood University. Match coverage links can be found at usiscreamingeagles.com.
