Georgia Ferguson joins UE women’s basketball program

0

 EVANSVILLE, Ind. – A busy offseason continued for the University of Evansville women’s basketball team as Purple Aces head coach Robyn Scherr announced the addition of Georgia Ferguson.

Ferguson, a native of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, is a 6-foot-3 forward who will join the squad as a freshman this fall.

“I am pumped for Georgia Ferguson to join our squad! She has many of the skills that we covet in post players; physicality to defend in the post, athleticism to run the floor and finish at the rim, good footwork in the post, and the ability to shoot the 3,” Scherr exclaimed. “I believe she will be a part of carrying on our tradition of strong, versatile post players. Off the court, Georgia will represent us well in the classroom and in the community. She has a fun personality and our community will enjoy connecting with her!”

Bringing a solid amount of experience, Ferguson has earned numerous accolades as a member of the girl’s basketball team at Cairine Wilson Secondary School.  A 3-time School Basketball Most Valuable Player, Ferguson was recognized in 2021, 2022, and 2023.

Along with the MVP award in 2022, Ferguson was named a First Team All-Star JUEL that season while garnering District 8 MVP recognition.  It marked her second District 8 honor following an MVP nod in 2021.

Her top accomplishment in high school was when her team won the Ontario Scholastic Basketball Association (OSBA) Championship.  Her Capital Courts Academy squ

Registration now open for the 21st annual USI Norwegian Foot March

0

A University of Southern Indiana tradition is celebrating its 21st anniversary on Saturday, November 15. The 21st annual Norwegian Foot March, an intense mental and physical challenge, will take participants 18.6 miles (30 km) through the rolling hills of Evansville’s west side. Carrying a 25-pound rucksack, participants will begin and end on the USI campus, working to make it back to the finish line generally in under four and a half hours depending on age and gender.

ROTC cadets, active duty and reserve service members, veterans and civilians are welcome to participate. Registration can be completed online or by calling USI Outreach and Engagement at 812-464-1989. Early registration is recommended. Registration cost is $35 for ROTC cadets from any school and $55 for others. Registration will close on November 7 or when the event is at 500 participants.

The Norwegian Foot March is sponsored by USI’s Student Veteran Association. Proceeds from the March enhance the training of the students in the USI ROTC Program. Funds are used to cover costs associated with training, travel, team development and additional equipment.

A canned food drive will also be conducted with the March. Participants are encouraged to use non-perishable food items as their required weight and donate them upon completion of the event. Food items will be donated to Archie’s Food Closet, a service for all members of the USI community to promote the health and wellness of USI students and employees.

Those who complete the March within set guidelines will receive a Norwegian Foot March certificate and pin which can be worn on service uniforms. The Norwegian Foot March is a boot camp tradition for Norwegian soldiers and is supported by Dr. Nils Johansen, retired Norwegian Artillery Reserve Officer, retired USI University Division Advisor and Adjunct Instructor of Geology and Physics.

Congressman Baird Statement on U.S. Airstrikes on Iran’s Nuclear Sites

0

Washington, D.C. – Today,​ Congressman Jim Baird (IN-04) released the following statement on the U.S. airstrikes which destroyed three of Iran’s nuclear sites:

“The president has been consistent and clear: Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. President Trump gave Iran every opportunity to make a deal, but Iran failed to come to an agreement and has terrorized Israel and Americans for decades. Thanks to President Trump’s decisive action, three of Iran’s key nuclear enrichment sites have been decimated. May God bless our brave, heroic troops for successfully completing this mission, and I thank them for their outstanding service to our country. God bless America.”
