Volunteers Gather for Ritzy’s Fantasy of Lights Setup

0

Volunteers gathered yesterday for the annual set-up for the 24th annual Ritzy’s Fantasy of Lights.

Dozens of volunteers from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, the Teamsters, the National Electrical Contractors Association, and Electrical JATC (the Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee for IBEW and NECA) began their day at 7:00 a.m. to move over 60 light displays from storage. University of Evansville’s Phi Gamma Delta fraternity members also assisted by replacing over 6,000 light bulbs with brighter, more energy efficient LED bulbs.

Ritzy’s Fantasy of Lights benefits the local Easterseals Rehabilitation Center. This year’s show is dedicated to Andy Guagenti. Guagenti died this year. He was a co-owner of G.D. Ritzy’s, the founder of Ritzy’s Fantasy of Lights, and an advocate for individuals with disabilities.

The Fantasy of Lights will run every night from Thanksgiving through January 1st. A “sneak preview” of selected displays will happen on November 19th. The event will be closed to vehicle on November 29th to host Bright Lights for Easterseals, a 5k run and 1-Mile family fun walk.

0

University of Southern Indiana men’s basketball team concluded the 2017 Small College Basketball Hall of Fame Classic with an 88-75 victory over 24th-ranked Kentucky Wesleyan College Saturday evening at the Ford Center. USI starts the 2017-18 campaign 1-1, while KWC ends the classic, 1-1.

The Screaming Eagles busted out of the gate to start the game, racing out to a 47-28 lead by the intermission. USI took command during the opening 20 minutes with a 20-8 run with 5:08 to play and would lead by as many as 21 points (47-26).

USI senior guard Marcellous Washington (Lexington, Indiana) paced the Eagles during the opening half with 10 points on three-of-four from the field and two-of-three from long range.

The Eagles would continue to cruise offensively in the second half. USI, whose lead would never fall below 13 points in the final 20 minutes, re-extended the margin to 21 points, 81-60, with four minutes to play before settling for the 88-75 victory.

USI freshman forward Emmanuel Little (Indianapolis, Indiana) led the Eagles with his first double-double of his career, 17 points and 10 rebounds. Little was seven-of-12 from the field and three-of-eight from the line, while grabbing four offensive and six defensive boards.

Washington and freshman guard Mateo Rivera (Indianapolis, Indiana) followed Little in the scoring column with 16 points each, while senior forward DayJar Dickson (Washington, D.C.) rounded out the double-digit scorers with 13 points.

As a team, USI shot 50 percent from the field (31-62), 50.0 percent from downtown (9-16), and 76.2 percent from the charity stripe (16-21). The Eagles also outrebounded the Panthers 34-31.

USI hits the road next week, beginning with an exhibition game at 7:30 p.m. Monday versus Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Illinois. The Eagles resume regular season action in the G-MAC/GLVC Challenge at Malone University in Canton, Ohio, taking on Hillsdale College November 10 at 5 p.m. (CST) and Malone University November 11 at 6 p.m. (CST).

Sophomore middle hitter Elexis Coleman (Joliet, Illinois) added 11 kills and a .360 attacking percentage, while freshman setter Casey Cepicky (St. Louis, Missouri) finished with 52 assists and 10 digs.

The Eagles (12-16, 5-10 GLVC) had five players finish with at least 10 digs, led by senior libero Shannon Farrell (Munster, Indiana), who finished with 18. Senior defensive specialist Jessica Lee (Mackinaw, Illinois) and sophomore defensive specialist Lizzy Gardner (Lafayette, Indiana) each had 13 digs, while junior defensive specialist Haley Limper (Springfield, Illinois) finished with 12 digs.

USI finishes its 2017 home schedule Tuesday at 7 p.m. when it hosts the University of Indianapolis at the PAC. The Eagles, who are still alive for a spot in the GLVC Tournament, finish the regular season November 10-11 with trips to Lewis University and the University of Wisconsin-Parkside.

Set 1
USI used a 7-2 run midway through the first frame to build a commanding 21-15 lead it would not relinquish. Humphrey racked up six kills and a .556 attacking percentage to lead the Eagles in the opener, while Cepicky tallied 13 assists in leading USI to a team attacking clip of .286.

Set 2
Missouri-St. Louis (20-7, 10-6 GLVC) used early runs of 4-0 and 3-0 to build a 12-9 lead; then erupted for six consecutive points en route to the 10-point win. The Tritons hit a blistering .400 as a team to even the match at a set apiece. Coleman and Whitfield each had three kills to lead USI in the second set.

Set 3
The Eagles used a critical 3-0 run to break a 16-16 tie and win a shootout in the third set. USI countered Missouri-St. Louis’s .333 attacking percentage with a blistering .455 clip to earn the five-point win and one-set lead. Coleman had five kills and a perfect attacking percentage to lead the Eagles, while Cepicky racked up 14 assists.

Set 4
USI saw an early six-point lead evaporate as Missouri-St. Louis surged to a four-point win in the fourth set. The Tritons, who used an 11-2 run to turn four-point deficit into a 17-12 advantage, had five blocks in the fourth frame to even the match at two sets apiece. Humphrey had six kills to lead the Eagles.

Set 5
Each team rallied from early two-point deficits in a tight fifth frame, but the Eagles could not overcome a 14-12 deficit as the Tritons held on for a two-point win. USI nearly tied the contest at 14-14, but officials could not tell whether a ball off a USI block was in or out, forcing a replay of the point, which eventually ended in Missouri-St. Louis’ favor. Whitfield and Humphrey each had three kills to lead the Eagles in the decisive set.
