Aces women’s basketball to open season on Saturday

0

On Saturday at 1 p.m., the University of Evansville women’s basketball team will open up the regular season at Xavier.

 

The game, which is being played in honor of Lauren Hill, will be carried live on Fox Sports Ohio.

 

UE went 2-0 in its exhibition outings, including a 97-53 win over Berea last weekend as six players finished in double figures, led by Laura Friday, who hit 5 of her 6 3-pointers on her way to 15 points.  Kerri Gasper also scored 15 as she shot an accurate 70% (7/10) and hauled in five rebounds.  Newcomer Ashley Hawkins registered a double-double in the game, notching 11 points and 12 rebounds while also blocking a pair of shots.

 

“We are excited to begin our journey,” Aces head coach Oties Epps said.  “We feel comfortable with the work that we have put in up to this point and we look forward to the challenge of competing against Xavier.”

 

Saturday’s game will mark the first of three in a row on the road in Ohio; the Aces head to Miami Ohio on Monday before traveling to face Cleveland State on Wednesday, Nov. 18

It marks the first meeting against the Musketeers since the teams played together in the MCC.  The Aces look for their 4th opening-day victory in a row as they defeated Austin Peay at home by a 72-68 margin last season.  UE is on the road for its first six regular-season contests as they do not play at home until December 5.

 

Junior Sara Dickey set the single-season scoring mark last season with 602 tallies.  After scoring 546 as a freshman in 2013-14, Dickey has 1,148 career points and is just 79 points out of the top ten.  Should she follow up last year’s scoring pace, she would break the all-time program scoring mark in just three years.  Shelly Brand-Adlard is the all-time UE scoring leader with 1,713 points

 

The Aces have eight returning players including three seniors (Sara Dickey, sophomore guard Taloni Reese and junior forward Sasha Robinson). Additionally, the team brings back Peyton Langston, Kenyia Johnson, and senior guard Laura Friday.

UE has six newcomers on the roster this year (freshman forward Jordan Campbell, freshman guard Camille Coleman, freshman forward Kerri Gasper, freshman forward Tattenai Hall, freshman forward Erin Sinnott, and junior guard Camary Williams). The Aces will also benefit from having Aaliyah Gaines and junior forward Ashley Hawkins eligible after their redshirt seasons.

 

Xavier is coming off of an 18-15 campaign last season, which saw them win in 13 out of their 19 home contests.  They return their top two scorers from last year in Briana Glover and Raeshaun Gaffney.  Glover tallied 10.8 points per game while Gaffney finished the year at 10.4 PPG.

Temporary tag in rear window gets conviction tossed

0

Marilyn Odendahl for www.theindianalawyer.com

A Hendricks County Sheriff’s deputy’s ignorance of where a temporary license plate can be displayed on a car led the Indiana Court of Appeals to overturn a drunken-driving conviction.

Deputy Nathan Hibschman pulled over a vehicle because it did not have a license plate on its bumper. However, after he made the traffic stop, he noticed a temporary tag taped to the car’s rear window but he mistakenly believed state statute required the tag to be placed on the bumper.

Approaching the driver, Jeremy Darringer, the deputy noticed a strong smell of alcohol and subsequently administered a sobriety test. Darringer failed that test.

Before his trial, Darringer filed a motion to suppress the evidence, arguing the deputy had no reason to make the initial stop. However, Hendricks Superior Judge Stephenie LeMay-Luken denied the motion on the grounds that the stop was appropriate because the temporary tag was not clearly visible even though it was in the proper place.

Darringer was convicted of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, a Class A misdemeanor.

On appeal, Darringer renewed his arguments that the state failed to prove the stop was based upon a reasonable suspicion that he committed a traffic violation or that the deputy made an objectively reasonable mistake justifying the stop.

The state countered the stop was proper because the plate was not clearly visible. The Court of Appeals found the record revealed the deputy did not even look anywhere else on the vehicle except the bumper.

Judge Elaine Brown wrote, “While Deputy Hibschman testified that he did not see a plate on the vehicle, he also repeatedly stated that he did not look in the rear window and did not look anywhere else other than the bumper. Accordingly, we cannot say that the facts known to Deputy Hibschman would have otherwise provided a basis for the stop based upon the idea that the interim plate in the rear window was not clearly visible, where Deputy Hibschman specifically testified that he did not look in the rear window.”

The Court of Appeals reversed Darringer’s conviction in Jeremy Darringer v. State of Indiana, 32A01-1503-CR-86.

Judge Patricia Riley concurred in result without opinion.

UE Men’s Basketball opens regular season on Sunday

0

Riding a 5-game winning streak after its run to the 2015 CollegeInsider.com Championship, the University of Evansville men’s basketball team will begin the 2015-16 regular season with a home game against Southeast Missouri State on Sunday at 2 p.m. inside the Ford Center.

 

Evansville officially opens its 97th season of play on Sunday against SEMO.  In its previous 96 openers, UE has gone 64-32 while winning six of its last seven openers, the only loss in that span came in 2012 at Notre Dame.  The Aces return all five starters and nine players overall from last year’s team that won the CollegeInsider.com Tournament and finished the season with a 24-12 record.

 

This year, UE played just one exhibition contest as they took on Wabash on Nov. 7.  Evansville took the win by a 95-65 margin behind 20 points from D.J. Balentine.  Balentine was 9-of-17 from the floor and recorded a game-high 8 assists.  Adam Wing posted 17 points and hit an efficient 8 of his 10 shot attempts.  It was another double-double for Egidijus Mockevicius as he tallied 11 points and 12 rebounds, all of his boards came on the defensive end.  As a team, UE finished the game hitting 58.3% of its shots.

 

In the Missouri Valley Conference Preseason Poll, UE was picked to finish in second place behind only Wichita State.  It is tied for the highest pick in program history.  D.J. Balentine and Egidijus Mockevicius have each earned their share of preseason accolades with both earning a spot on the Preseason MVC All-Conference Team.

 

Balentine was named to the Lute Olson Award Watch List.  The award is given annually to the top player in the nation who is a sophomore or older.  Mockevicius was recognized on the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award Watch List, which is handed out to the top center in the nation.

 

Southeast Missouri State posted a 13-17 mark last season while going 7-9 in the Ohio Valley Conference on their way to an 8th place finish.  The Redhawks welcome new head coach Rick Ray to the program, Ray spent the last three seasons as the head coach at Mississippi State.   SEMO loses two of their top three scorers in Jarekious Bradley (16.2 PPG) and Nino Johnson (10.4 PPG), but return Antonius Cleveland.

 

Cleveland notched 10.8 points last year and shot 47.2% from the field, he was also third on the squad with 55 assists.  As a junior last season, Isiah Jones averaged 9.8 points and was one of the top 3-point shooters on the team, hitting 39.9%.  In their exhibition game, SEMO took down Missouri S&T by a final of 93-64, Trey Kellum and Marcus Wallace tied for the team lead with 15 points while Kellum was the top rebounder with nine.

North HS Students Need Donations for Giving Project

North High School’s student-run United Way Club is participating in Operation Christmas Child.

Operation Christmas Child is a charity program sponsored by Samaritan’s Purse.  The program delivers shoeboxes filled with small presents to children in third world countries.  This year the students have set the goal to pack boxes for 120 children, and are asking for help in making this goal possible. They are asking for small toys, school supplies, crafts, hygiene products, clothing, and accessories that can be packed into shoebox sized boxes.

Donations can be made up until Thursday, Nov 19, at North’s main office. When asked why the United Way Club chose this program, one student responded by saying, “at this time of the year, it is important to be thankful for all we have as well as the needs of others, who are less fortunate.”

Appeals Court Rules For Teachers On Pay Issues

0

Dave Stafford for www.theindianalawyer.com

Jay Classroom Teachers Association prevailed Friday in an appeal contesting terms of a teachers’ contract adopted as the last best offer from Jay School Corporation.

The Indiana Court of Appeals ruled that the order of the Indiana Education Employment Relations Board affirmed by a trial court contained errors.

“We find … a teacher can receive additional compensation for ancillary duties, and that covering another teacher’s class during the normal workday can be a compensable ancillary duty outside the scope of normal teaching duties — where both parties agreed to the same additional-compensation provision and included it in their respective LBOs,” Chief Judge Nancy Vaidik wrote for the panel in Jay Classroom Teachers Association v. Jay School Corporation and Indiana Education Employment Relation Board, 49A05-1412-PL-586.

Likewise, the panel ruled the board erred by permitting a practice in the Jay teachers’ contract that violated state law. The court ruled that a provision allowing the school superintendent to set salaries of teachers hired after the beginning of the school year “was impermissible and should have been stricken by the Board,” Vaidik wrote.

“Accordingly, we reverse the trial court and remand to the Board for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.”
