EVSC Schools to Host Veteran’s Day Assemblies
Adopt A Pet
Dolly is a 2-year-old female American Staffordshire Terrier (“pit bullâ€) mix. She had a sister named Reba, but Reba got adopted so now hopefully soon it’s Dolly’s turn! The adoption fee is $100 for one, or $175 for both! Contact Vanderburgh Humane at (812) 426-2563 or adoptions@vhslifesaver.org for details.
Assumption Church by Pat Sides
Less than two decades after Vanderburgh County was formed in 1818, Assumption Catholic Church was founded in downtown Evansville. The city experienced substantial growth in the aftermath of the Civil War, which led Assumption to erect a more spacious building at Seventh and Vine to accommodate the expanding congregation. The new edifice was completed in 1873, followed less than a decade later by the construction of a school building adjacent to the church. After the Diocese of Evansville was formed in 1944, Assumption was designated a cathedral. The Cathedral, seen here in 1949, was razed in 1965 to make room for the Winfield K. Denton federal building.

Eagles get 95-92 exhibition win over Eastern Illinois
The University of Southern Indiana men’s basketball team posted its first exhibition win over an NCAA Division I opponent with a 95-92 win at Eastern Illinois University tonight in Charleston, Illinois. The victory broke a 0-17 streak against Division I exhibition opponents and was the first victory (regular season or exhibition) over a Division I team since USI defeated the University of Wisconsin in 1990-91.
The Screaming Eagles and the Panther traded buckets through the start of the first half and were tied 15-15 before USI went on a 15-3 run to lead 30-18 with 9:35 left to halftime. USI’s margin would grow to as many as 14 points, 38-24, after a three-point bomb by junior guard Nate Hansen (Evansville, Indiana).
Eastern Illinois followed with an 18-7 run of their own to knot the game up at 42-42 with 2:39 remaining in the half. USI would get the final bucket of the half when Hansen hit another from downtown to give the Eagles a 45-42 halftime margin.
The Eagles shot 53.3 percent (16-30) from the field and a blistering 69.2 percent from long-range (9-13). Hansen led USI’s long range attack with three-of-four from beyond the arc.
In the second half, USI quickly ran the lead back to 14 points, 62-48, with a 17-6 run that was led by senior guard Marcellous Washington (Lexington, Kentucky). Washington had seven points during the dash by to a 14-point margin.
USI’s largest lead of the game would come with 10:46 to play when freshman forward Emmanuel Little(Indianapolis, Indianapolis) hit a three-point field goal to put the Eagles up 15 points, 68-53.
The Panthers, however, were not going to let the Eagles cruise to the victory. Eastern Illinois would cut the USI advantage to two points, 89-87 and 93-91, before junior guard Alex Stein (Evansville, Indiana) hit six-straight free throws to seal the Eagles’ 95-92 victory.
Overall as a team, USI was a blistering 60.7 percent from the field (34-56), 64.0 percent from downtown (16-25), and 73.3 percent from the line (11-15). The Eagles also won the rebounding battle, 37-30.
Stein led the Eagles in the scoring column with 28 points, hitting a red-hot nine-of-11 from the field, four-of-five from long-range, and six-of-six from the line. The junior guard also had a team-best nine assists.
Little followed Stein with 19 points and also grabbed a team-best nine rebounds. Washington and Hansen rounded out the double-digit scorers with 12 points each.
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).
