Leonhardt, Stein named top USI Student Athletes for 2018-19

0
University of Southern Indiana Athletics announced that senior men’s basketball player Alex Stein (Evansville, Indiana) and junior softball player Jennifer Leonhardt (Louisville, Kentucky) have been named the Old National Bank/USI Male and Female Student Athletes of the Year for 2018-19.

Stein, who became USI’s all-time leading scorer in his final game of his collegiate career, is collecting his second-straight honor after leading the Screaming Eagles to the semifinals of the NCAA Division II Elite Eight this past March.

A first-team All-Great Lakes Valley Conference and All-Midwest Region selection, Stein collected honorable mention All-America honors after averaging 20.9 points per game and setting the school’s single-season scoring record with 732 points.

In the classroom, Stein became the first USI player in program history to earn Academic All-America and GLVC Scholar Athlete of the Year honors this season and capped his career off by being named the GLVC Richard F. Scharf Paragon Award. He graduated in December with a bachelor’s degree in management and minor in sports and business studies.

His efforts this year led the Eagles to a 26-9 overall record and their first NCAA II Midwest Region title since 2004.

Student-athletes under consideration for the ONB/USI Male Student Athlete of the Year award included Stein, Austin Nolan (men’s cross country) and Sean Rickey (men’s soccer).

Leonhardt is earning her first USI Student Athlete of the Year honor after a stellar season that saw her earn GLVC Pitcher of the Year and GLVC Scholar Athlete of the Year accolades.

A second-team All-American on the field in 2019, Leonhardt went 21-9 in the pitcher’s circle with four saves, a 1.29 ERA, 243 strikeouts and a .187 opponent batting average. She tossed to complete-game shutouts in the NCAA II Midwest Region #1 Tournament, bringing her single-season total to a school-record tying 13 as well as her career mark to a school-record tying 33. She also broke the school records for strikeouts (705) and wins (76).

Her efforts on the field helped lead the Eagles to a 35-21 overall record and a 19-7 mark in GLVC play. USI advanced to the NCAA II Midwest Region Tournament for the fifth-straight year and sixth time in seven seasons.

In the class room, Leonhardt earned first-team Academic All-America honors and was named the GLVC Scholar Athlete of the Year. She has accumulated a 3.764 grade point average as a biology major at USI and is a three-time Academic All-GLVC honoree.

Student-athletes under consideration for the ONB/USI Female Student Athlete of the Year award included Leonhardt, Imani Guy (women’s basketball), Claire Johnson (softball) and Madelyne Juenger (women’s soccer).

IS IT TRUE that the Vanderburgh County Democrat Party as most people knew it before the debacles of 2010 – 2011 would not recognize the wreckage that the once party of the people has become?…there was a period of time when the Vanderburgh County Democrat Party dominated the leadership positions and elected offices totally?…that all changed with the hubris exhibited in the community meetings leading up to seeing the Ford Center crammed down the taxpayer’s throats without a referendum?…this was of course orchestrated by former Mayor Jonathan Weinzapfel who was measuring the windows in the White House for new curtains based on the words of Larry Aitken who was the voice, money and whip of the Vanderburgh County Democrat Party for many years?…it was this level of hubris and arrogance that inspired the late great Rick Davis to make an announcement that he would be a candidate for Mayor of Evansville in the 2011 election?…that was followed by Floatgate, ChickenGate, and a whole bunch of other buffoonery that culminated in Davis defeating the hand-picked successor to the Democrat Machine grip on the office of mayor?…it has never been the same since?

 

IS IT TRUE that yesterday the Vanderburgh County Democrat Party took a body blow that may reduce it to rubble when it’s biggest champion Attorney Scott Danks resigned from the leadership role?…Danks spent 3 years as chairperson after a lifetime of supporting Democrat candidates and goals?…Danks gave it his best shot to resurrect the damage done by the Democrat Machine to itself during the exit of Weinzapfel from politics?…we commend Scott for trying and wish him well as he lives his life in the excellent manner that he is known to?…Danks has been a leader in many ways but resurrecting Weinzapfel and the Machine’s folly was more than he wanted to handle and now the Party is left to its own devices?…we understand his replacement has a picture of the Communist candidate for President of the United States in his office and is a big supporter of Senator Sanders and all things that result in higher taxes and more free stuff?…we predict this narrative will not play well in Evansville and that the decline of the Vanderburgh Democrat Party will continue until it eventually hits rock bottom with only a trivial number of seats on the Evansville City Council?

 

IS IT TRUE that embracing the fringe elements of the national Democrat platform is not likely to appeal to people in the Midwest or South and will ultimately bring about a downfall across the country in places where people still have traditional values?…Bernie, Kamala Harris, Fauxcahontas Elizabeth Warren, and other hard left progressives will be challenged to get any traction in places with common sense?…they may have the heart of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, and New York but the rest of the country sees this pack of 24 for what they are and that is going to be bad news for them?…for one of the few times, Evansville seems to be at the leading edge of a national movement back to common sense, traditional values, and rejection of all things far left?

“IS IT TRUE” JULY 15, 2019

1

We hope that today’s “IS IT TRUE” will provoke honest and open dialogue concerning issues that we, as responsible citizens of this community, need to address in a rational and responsible way.

IS IT TRUE we are taking suggestions from all who wish to offer other topics that will help the City-County Observer to continue to served the greater Evansville region? …we ask you please put your recommendations in our comment section?

IS IT TRUE that the appendix of our forthcoming book (IT IS TRUE) will have comments from the “Mole Nation” of 139 members that has been critical to the CCO’s ability to learn about the shenanigans that our elected and appointed officials have been planning? …you may rest assured that absolutely not one (zero) CCO Moles will be personally exposed in this book?

IS IT TRUE we wonder if you would spend $13 to $15 million dollars to be elected to a position that pays somewhere around $300,000 a year?  …if the answer is “yes” then you should run for Governor of Indiana?

IS IT TRUE we recently conducted a “Readers Poll” that ask the question; Who was the the most effective Chief of Staff or Deputy Mayor of Evansville?  …that the highly respected Rose Young garnered an impressive 93 votes to lead the pack?  …Chris Weaver received 79 votes, Randy Shepherd received 74 votes and Bob Whitehouse followed with 52 votes? …74 people said they had no idea? …the current Deputy Mayor of Evansville, Steve Schaefer received a disappointing 27 votes?  …the other four (4) former Chief of Staff members didn’t do well at all in this non-scientific but trendy poll?

IS IT TRUE that the responsibilities of a political party Chairman are to recruit qualified candidates to run for public office, raise money for their party and insure that their party voters show up on election day?  …we wish that an additional responsibility for a political party Chairman would be to take the Dale Carnegie course called “How To Win Friends And Influence People”?

IS IT TRUE that the publisher of the City County Observer and former editor Joe Jack Wallace have agreed to form a literary partnership to author, edit, illustrate and publish a book of the best of the City County Observer “IS IT TRUES”? …these two people teamed up for the first time in early 2010 to provide clarity to a highly questionable deal that was made by a former Mayor? …exposing that stunt lead to a long friendship that included the birth of SNEGAL (sneaky but legal) who was created? …SNEGAL, Lifestyle Lil, and of course “THE MOLE” are all characters created by the City County Observer to cast a bit of humor on the incredibly self-serving things done by the elect leaders of Evansville have foisted on the citizen taxpayers of this fair city over the years?

IS IT TRUE when politicians announce that they are very progressive when its comes to water and sewers and road repairs projects it simply means that the taxpayers can expect  major interruptions in their daily schedules?  …Instead of spending 30 minutes to drive to work it now takes us one and half hours? …this is the price we pay for electing progressive politicians?

IS IT TRUE we are told as of June 30, 2019 the City Of Evansville had a $7 million dollar deficit?  …it’s been alleged by a reliable source that the city raided several city accounts for $6 million dollars in order to bring the deficit down to $7 million as of July 1, 2019?  …that   this is a prime example of ‘Peter Borrowing From Paul”?

IS IT TRUE in 2012  Harrison High School officials named their “Commons Area” after the Shoulders Family and ever since then the  Shoulders Family has hosted an annual “Lecture Series”?  …that  eleven (11) members of the Shoulders family have graduated from Harrison High School? …eight (8) members of their family have graduated from Indiana University?.  …since the founding of the “Shoulders Family Lecture Series” the family have have sponsored prestigious individuals from Indiana University to come down and speak to the students and faculty members at Harrison High school ….this year’s speaker is none other then Indiana  University head mens basketball coach, Archie Miller? …this event will be held on Tuesday, August 27 at 6pm in the “Shoulders Family Commons” and is free to the public? …the City County Observer commends prominent local attorney, Indiana University Trustee, and former CCO “Distinguished Community Service” award winner, Pat Shoulders Esq., current County Commissioner President Ben Shoulders, and the entire Shoulders family for once again providing to community with a fantastic FREE event to our community!

IS IT TRUE that last week the All Saints Parish hosted a free Community Produce Giveaway event at their St. Anthony Catholic Church Campus located at 704 N. 1st Avenue, Evansville, Indiana?  …that Seton Harvest brought their produce van full of fresh vegetables to share with local community?  …they also provided music, recipes and cold drinks to those who attend this most worthy community event?  …we give five (5) cheers to the members of the All Saints Parish at St. Anthony Catholic Church and Seaton Harvest for helping the less fortunate of our community?

IS IT TRUE that Evansville Living does a superb job in bringing us accurate and up-to-date local articles of substance? …they have earned the reputation of being extremely informative, detailed, aggressive and creative in providing their viewers with the current culture, politics, sports, business, lifestyle, entertainment, dining, and the big personalities unique to our region?  …we give five (5) cheers to Kristen and Todd Tucker for producing an incredible magazine for our region?

Todays“Readers Poll” question is: Do you feel that our local officials should have done a better job in scheduling public works projects in our area?
