Evansville, In.:  After falling behind 2-0 to the Huntsville Havoc in the first period, the Thunderbolts rallied back to tie the game and win in overtime, 3-2 at Ford Center on Saturday night.  The Thunderbolts’ next home game will be on Tuesday, October 29th against the Peoria Rivermen at 10:00am CT.
                Late first period goals from Noah Finstrom at 14:42 and Buster Larsson at 19:32 propelled the Havoc to a 2-0 lead through 20 minutes of play.  In the second period, Matthew Barnaby began the comeback as he scored at 3:38 on a wraparound to make it a 2-1 deficit, the goal coming on a power play, assisted by Scott Kirton and Anthony Hora.  At 17:23, Barnaby scored once again on a rebound from Joey Berkopec and Grayson Valente to tie the game at 2-2.  Following a scoreless third period, the game went to a very active overtime period, beginning with a successful Thunderbolts penalty kill that included an Evansville penalty shot attempt for Matthew Hobbs, which was saved by Havoc goaltender Brian Wilson.  At 3:59 however, the Thunderbolts pulled through to score the clinching goal as Brendan Harrogate scored unassisted with a steal at the net-front to win it for Evansville, 3-2.

McNamara statement on opening of one-of-a-kind welding program at Mount Vernon High School

0

Note to the Press – State Rep. Wendy McNamara (R-Evansville) issued the following statement regarding the opening of the John D. Haynes School of Welding Technology at Mount Vernon High School. BWX Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BWXT) along with the U.S. Navy and BlueForge Alliance invested $500,000 in the facility, which can accommodate up to 60 students annually. The program offers students a dual-track opportunity to complete their high school degree while obtaining professional welding certification, leading to direct employment opportunities at BWXT’s Nuclear Operations Group. The initiative aims to address critical training needs for national defense priorities.

 

STATEHOUSE (Oct. 24, 2024) – “This new facility and the training program is an incredible opportunity for our local high school students who want to pursue a high-paying career in welding and hit the ground running upon graduation. It’s easy to see how this program, which offers state-of-the-art training technologies, will become a national blueprint for the rest of the country to follow, and it’s exciting to know our students – now and into the future – will reap the rewards.”

McNamara joined the ribbon cutting event at Mount Vernon High School. See more information on Mount Vernon High School here and more information on BWXT here
