Blairsville Store reopens The convenience store in Blairsville is slated to open under new management on Tuesday (today). The new owners were cleaning in the building over the eweekend and indicated that the gas pumps are already in working order for use with credit cards and that the store will be fully operational this week.

By Dave Pearce The books at the Posey County Clerk’s office are allegedly out of balance.

Posey County’s newly-elected Clerk Betty Postletheweight appeared before the Posey County Commissioners at Tuesday’s meeting to request that an audit be done.

The commissioners asked that the State Board of Accounts be notified and that the audit be held as soon as possible.

When contacted over the weekend, Postletheweight said she was unaware that the books were out of balance until she attended the Indiana County Clerk’s conference in

Indianapolis on December 2. She was told then that Posey County’s books have been out of balance for some time.

Postletheweight went on to say that she was not suspicious that money was missing, only that the books needed to be balanced, according to state law. She went on to say that generally, the longer the books remain out of balance, the tougher it is to find the errors the took place to cause the problem.

“I just want them to come down and find the problem and maybe they can advise us to how this happened and we can keep it from happening again,” Postletheweight

said. “This audit is probably something that should have been done all along.”

Newly-elected sheriff Greg Oeth signed the contract for his services as sheriff and indicated during the meeting that he had already requested an audit at the jail. And the sheriff’s office The sheriff’s department is responsible for cash and discretionary funds.

Newly-elected assessor Nancy Hoehn, in attendance at the meeting, requested that an audit also be performed in the Posey County Auditor’s office.

In other business: •The Posey County Commis-

sioners adopted a resolution that will prevent smoking in the front of all county buildings. A smoking area will be designated at the rear of the buildings. Signage will be put into place. Canisters will be placed at the rear of the buildings for disposal.

•Highway Supt. Steve Schenk reported that the request for help with the safety of High School Road by North Posey High School had been granted. As soon as weather permits, signage and striping will be done on the road.

The Posey County Commissioners will meet again on Tuesday, Jan. 18, at 9 a.m. at the Hovey House.

By Valerie Werkmeister The Poseyville Fire Department and town officials did not get a happy start to their new year. After months of waiting, they learned on December 30, that their grant application for a new rescue truck had been denied.

They had sought a Community Focus Fund grant which is funded by the Community Development Block Program.

However, Poseyville’s loss is New Harmony’s gain. New Harmony learned that their request for $500,000 in grant funds to construct a new fire station was approved.

Poseyville Town Council President, Bruce Baker’s disappointment was obvious when reached by phone.

“I’m really disappointed. I was really hoping that we’d be funded this time around. We’ll just have to try for another grant again,” he said.

But, if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. That has become Poseyville’s new motto as they held an initial hearing on January 4, to announce their intentions to apply for the grant again.

The hearing was facilitated by Debbie Bennett-Stearsman of the Economic Development Coalition of Southwest Indiana. She is the grant ad-

By Pam Robinson Mount Vernon florist Frances Wehr has announced her retirement after 60 years of owning and operating her own business. The beloved 85-year-old businesswoman will hand over the keys to Wehr’s Flowers and Gifts on February 1, 2011, to new owners, Jim and Shelia Schwindel, already known for their Mount Vernon gift shop, Guilty Pleasures.

A graduate of St. Mary’s School of Nursing, Frances and her late husband Alfred “Dutch” Wehr started their floral business near their home on 8th Street in his native Mount Vernon in 1951, a year after they wed. Since Dutch had a full-time office job, the couple delivered their arrangements to the hospital at night. Their first deliveries from Wehr’s Flower Shop and Greenhouse hung outside the rolled-down windows of their family’s car. Now, Wehr keeps two part-

time drivers, Ed Goedde and Ryan Riggs, busy with two delivery vans, serving between 700800 regular customers in addition to walk-ins.

“We’ve tried to make it a good business,” Wehr comments. She’s provided a part-time income for long-time floral designers, Romayne Bagby and Faye Durcholz, and sales associates, Michele Weir and Rejohnna Stallings. Her daughter Jennifer has worked as a floral designer in the shop as well while Jennifer’s husband John Bohleber has served as bookkeeper.

In 1987, the business received its present name, Wehr’s Flowers and Gifts, and moved to 302 W. 4th Street, next to Printcrafters. Wehr’s has been located at 916 E. Fourth Street since 2008.

“I have loved working with flowers,” Wehr

Wanda Bennett, who recently retired after serving the City of Mount Vernon for 46 years, is pictured here with her companion dog, Shadow.

By Pam Robinson Point Township native Wanda Bennett worked her last day for the City of Mount Vernon on December 31, 2010, after 46 years of employment.

The 76-year-old Bennett has served five different mayors and 15 different water and sewer superintendents.

She began in 1966 at City Hall as bookkeeper for the Motor Vehicle Highway Fund during the term of Mayor Harold Gentil. Three years later, her father James Bennett was elected ClerkTreasurer and appointed his daughter as Deputy Clerk-Treasurer. After another four years, she was hired as a clerk for Mount Vernon Water Works under Mayor Jack Higgins until eight years later when the position of bookkeeper opened there. Between the two positions, she stayed at Water Works for 39 years until her retirement.

ministrator for the project.

The next public hearing will be held in February and public support will be called for. The grant application will be due March 18, and the grant awards will be announced May 27.

Poseyville Fire Department Chief Mike Crawford explained that he and the department are looking at other ways to help raise funds toward the purchase of a new rescue truck.

“We’re just going to go into the next round and see how it goes and give it another shot,” Crawford said.

Despite the disappointing grant loss, the fire department was able to use remaining budget funds to purchase important gear and equipment.

Crawford stated they spent approximately $2,800 on turn-out gear and four pairs of boots. An additional $1,000 was spent on a chain saw and demolition saw. Approximately $500 was also spent on medical equipment to supply the brush truck, which is currently functioning as the alternate rescue truck.

“Right now, it’s unsafe to put my guys in that rescue truck,” Crawford added.

for over 50 years for the public, and I worked for 46,” Bennett says. Her father was elected seven terms as Clerk-Treasurer and one term as Mayor of Mount Vernon. “He was a great inspiration and influence for me,” she adds.

Indeed, Bennett’s father taught her bookkeeping on the job. She explains that formal education hadn’t been a choice for her due to ill health.

During her 39-year tenure at Water Works, she’s kept the books by hand and admits it’s time for computerized bookkeeping to be introduced to the utility.

Bennett’s father moved with his family from Point Township to Mount Vernon in 1916 when their farm collapsed. Her grandfather John Bennett was known as the beloved popcorn man in town. Bennett herself was born on the edge of the Great Depression and recalls rationing dur-

OPINION

‘In the way’ is simple explanation for ‘ugly and hide’ When we moved to Poseyville over a year ago, I wanted to find a house with a lot of room. The home from where we were moving was a good-sized home and everything was on the TRUTH... main floor. It had always STRANGER been my dream to have a THAN “man cave.” You know, a FICTION place where you can go and BY DAVE watch Sportscenter or hang PEARCE your deer heads and no one will come and bother you.

Since I was spending more time in Posey County than my wife, I was the one doing most of the searching. I finally came up with a plan. I could find a two-story home with a basement and surely somewhere in this house I could make my own place.

Negotiations began and soon we had bought our house. It’s about 1700 square foot on the main floor with a big bedroom and closet. The laundry facilities were relocated to the main floor to make it easier on everyone. With the laundry room, living room, dining room, master bedroom, and master bath all on the main floor, I could surely have at least a portion of the some 1500 square feet upstairs all to myself. That’s reasonable, don’t you think?

As we began bringing things into the house, my wife and I had talked it over.

The upstairs bedroom to the west could be my “man cave.” There was an older cabinet model television set up there and the room was plenty big. And after all, there was another bedroom up there that is even larger.

I would take the smaller of the two and if I

wanted to watch sports, make funny noises and emit smelly gases, I would be the only one who would know.

As a matter of fact, the idea went over so well that we even decided to put a desk in the “man cave.” That way, when I needed solitude, peace and quiet to write, I could just walk up the stairs and have my own place. I had already decided we were going to have the perfect set-up.

So, we began to move many things to the basement. My wife has a wreath for every month and every season of the year. It didn’t take me long to realize that by the time all this crap was hung around the basement walls, there would be no room for any thing of mine down there. But, hey, I was Ok with that because we had already voted and 100 percent of the voters had decided that my “man cave” would be upstairs.

We bought a couch to go upstairs. What good is a “man cave” without a place to lay and a coffee table to lay the remote when you aren’t using it. So I agreed to allow the ugliest lamp/table combination I have ever seen to go at the end of my couch. What could it hurt?

For a while, things went smoothly. Those of you who know me very well know that little grass grows under my feet. Between my pair of jobs and the interests I have in going places and seeing things, I probably would spend less time than the average guy in the “man cave.” But still, I was all right

with that because after all, it was my space. I could do whatever I wanted there.

I had my television, my computer, my desk, and my silence.

But it didn’t take long for things to begin to change. You see, the big room got changed into a bedroom for our son when he spends the night (about once a year). And mom wants no clutter in “pumpkin’s” room.

And just off the “man cave” there is a room that is probably 10 by 12. I noticed it was beginning to fill up with “things” while I was at work but it had a door on it and I could just keep the door closed and still have my space.

I decided I didn’t really like the work computer in the “man cave” so finally we decided I would bring it downstairs. It was my thinking that we could put it on a small desk and in one of the corners of the hallway that leads around the laundry room. But, as usual, that didn’t fly. It was going to be “in the way.” I’m not sure exactly what is the meaning of “in the way” because I have a lot of things and most of them are “in the way.”

So, my computer has ended up in the middle of the dining room When we have company and I have lots of writing to do, you might guess that I find a lot of peace and quiet on the north wall of our living room/ dining room combination while company watches television and rehashes the events of the past.

But still, I was OK. But not too long after that, my wife found a sewing machine on sale. And, you guessed it. The room just off the “man cave” soon

became the sewing room. It’s a little embarrassing to have anyone in the “man cave” when the girls head into the sewing room.

They have to walk between all the seating and the television.

The closer it got to Christmas, the more time my wife spent in the sewing room. She was making Barbie clothes, Barbie bedspreads, and Barbie curtains. The room was filling up and some of the “pretties” were beginning to spill out into the “man cave.”

We found out a month or two ago that there’s going to be a wedding in the family.

Since our son is getting married, my wife has decided that she is going to help with as much as she can. Tonight, as I walked up to the “man cave,” I couldn’t help but notice the crystal vases and the ribbon-laced flowers that hung from virtually every part of the upstairs of the house, including what was once the “man cave.”

So now I have a choice. I can either forget completely the idea of a “man cave” or I can move it to the one corner of the basement that is not covered with Christmas decorations or wreaths.

So tonight I began to think, there is always the garage. But one trip out in the 14-degree weather made me realize that I guess the dream of the “man cave” is gone, at least until the summer or until the wedding is over.

We have over 4,500 square feet of living space over the three floors of this house and there is still not enough for the two of us to co-exist and me to have some space. I’m beginning to think there might be plans to move me because I might be “in the way.”

Comedy is just funny way of being serious so lighten up Sometimes I’m too serious—way too serious. One Christmas, a friend even presented me with a snowman holding the sign, “Lighten up.”

My attitude may be a throwback to my college FOR THE days when I was taught that RECORD tragedy is superior to comedy. I certainly didn’t want BY PAM to be considered inferior, ROBINSON so I adopted a motto from the classical Greeks—“To suffer is to learn.” (No wonder those Botox-defiant wrinkles settled between my eyebrows and on my forehead.)

Recently, however, I ran across a comment by the late British film star Peter Ustinov, “Comedy is simply a funny way of being serious.” With this way of thinking, I can have it all. I can be serious and have a good laugh at the same time. “Learn to laugh” has become my new motto.

When I apply the motto to myself, I get the biggest laughs. Everyone tastes suffer-

ing, but I seem to load my plate with hefty portions of it just by worrying about what might happen. For example, I can’t count the number of times I’ve feared the loss of job security, yet I’ve never drawn unemployment a day in my life. So far, in spite of living through a few recessions, I’ve landed on my feet. When I look back on my career path now, I often wonder if drawing unemployment might not have brought welcome relief in certain work situations. As it’s said, hindsight is 20/20.

The serious-minded are quick to visualize the catastrophic and imagine worstcase scenarios. Potential problems soon turn into the real problems of magnified stress and distrust. Among the cast of thousands in the world theatre, the serious-minded consider their own circumstances as larger than life—just too big for any human, and possibly even God,

to handle. Their focus shifts from the universal ills of poverty, injustice, oppression and war to their belly button. Now that’s a funny scene. We can imagine God rolling His eyes and saying, “Your lack of perspective does not constitute a crisis in this office.”

Learning to laugh takes practice. It requires an outward gaze fixed on looking for occasions of joy. It means doing things just for fun. We can make funny faces in the mirror, especially with our kids. We can dye our hair a different

shade—one of my all-time favorite ways to live on the lighter side. We can listen to good jokes, remember them and then repeat them. We can rent some good comedies and laugh out loud with family and friends.

If we watch “Saturday Night Live,” we can even learn to do impressions of serious people without a sense of humor. They are, after all, easy to parody; they’re so full of themselves. Of course, we ought to plan on being the butt of the joke.

Gavel Gamut’s “Prediction Predilections” Predictions are as much a part of the New Year’s tradition as black-eyed peas and midnight mayhem. Therefore, it seems apropos to dredge up a few and even make some of our own. But, have you noticed how most well known predictions involve doom? While there are a few optimistic soothsayers, most prophets fall on the Jeremiad side of the ledger.

Because the Mayan call for the end of the world is next year, December 21, 2012, I thought we should start with it. After all, if we do not hurry and get this one in, we may not get the chance to wring our hands and wail before it’s a fait accompli.

Now on a less cataclysmic but not less tragic scale let’s consider the most famous prediction in Greek literature, the demise of Oedipus.

Sophocles (496-406 B.C.) set the universal standard for tragedy when he had the old blind seer Teriesias prophesize that Oedipus the King would marry his mother and kill his father.

Not to be out done by his rival for the hearts and minds of Athenian play goers, Aeschylus has Cassandra, the daughter of King Priam of Troy, read bird entrails and predict not only her own death but, also, that of King Agamemnon who took her as a trophy back to Greece. Not so incidentally, Agamemnon’s wife, Clytemnestra, was already put out with her husband for sacrificing their daughter to the gods so they would send wind for his sailing ships. After Agamemnon sailed for Troy, his wife took several lovers and welcomed her husband and his trophy with a bloody bath upon their arrival in Greece.

William Shakespeare fre-

quently led his audiences through careful character analysis by use of foreshadowing. One of my favor-

GAVEL GAMUT

BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE ites occurs when Macbeth, a general in Scottish King Duncan’s army, encounters three witches (Act IV, scene I) after Macbeth has already murdered King Duncan.

Naturally, Macbeth is somewhat concerned that his actions will not go unnoticed.

So when the witches chant, “Double, double toil and trouble, fire burn and caldron bubble”, then follow their incantations with a prophesy about his fate, Macbeth is all ears. And when the witches predict, “Macbeth shall never vanquished be until Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinave Hill shall come against him”, he relaxes. How could a forest ever move? Of course, the furies shall not be mocked and when Duncan’s avengers cut tree branches from Birnam Wood for camouflage and protection then advance on Macbeth’s castle we know the prophesy has come to pass.

Well, Gentle Reader, we could continue with these dire predictions and fateful outcomes ad nauseum and include Nostradamus, the Bible’s books of Daniel and Revelations or even Charles Manson’s Helter Skelter. But, why? Let’s you and I move into the realm of contemporary soothsaying. If you don’t mind, I will start us off.

How about a simple and surely non-controversial topic such as Evolution? I

know some of you may not be convinced by Mr. Charles Darwin’s Origin of Species.

But what if we could see evolution at work in our lifetime? Here’s one of my predictions. I say we should pay careful attention to the hands of teenagers over the next few years and see if they are transformed into appendages consisting of one forefinger and a thumb on each hand due to constant texting.

Next, let’s address the transformation of the Olympic Games. About 688 B.C. the Greeks started holding competitions based on military skills such as boxing, running and javelin throwing. It occurs to me that modern warfare may concentrate on other talents. I predict that the next generation of Olympic competition will include such events as cell phoning and texting while operating heavy machinery. Or perhaps we will have a decathlon during which competitors will do ten things at once. A likely mix could be watching T.V., texting, cell phoning, going on Facebook, talking about current events such as celebrity breakups, shopping at the mall, driving with one’s elbows and knees, destroying the universe in games of Halo, jousting with Wii, and all while doing homework.

You know, if the Greeks had started us all out with comparable ancient techie activities, say, wine making or ship building, instead of with war games, we might be better off today. Maybe this generation of teenagers is onto something. I would like to talk with my grandchildren about this possibility and try to find out, but direct conversation is a dying art and I need a Rosetta Stone to decipher the meaning of such responses as “U 2 G P”.

“You got it, Babe.”

Doc, we thought, don’t ask a question if you aren’t prepared for the answer.

Oakland City juvenile is arrested for theft from car Early this morning, January 9, Indiana State Police arrested a 16-year-old Oakland City male after he was caught stealing from a vehicle in Petersburg.

At approximately 1 a.m., Trooper Matt Jacobs responded to 1706 East Locust Street in Petersburg after receiving a call that a person allegedly broke into a vehicle parked outside the residence and attempted to steal a stereo subwoofer.

By the time Jacobs arrived the suspect had fled the area.

While searching the area, Jacobs spotted the subject about a block away. The suspect fled on foot before Jacobs found him hiding behind a nearby shed. The suspect was identified as a 16year-old male from Oakland

City. Jacobs searched the area for stolen property and found $2,000 in cash under the shed the 16-year-old was hiding behind. Troopers determined that the cash did not come from the vehicle that was broken into. The juvenile was arrested for theft and taken to Southwest Regional Youth Village in Vincennes.

This is an on-going investigation. Indiana State Police want to remind everyone the importance of keeping their vehicles locked at all times.

Many thefts from vehicles occur when a criminal finds your vehicle unlocked.

Arresting Officer: Trooper Matt Jacobs, Indiana State Police. Assisting Agencies: Pike County Sheriff’s Office and Petersburg Police.

She’s always had pets. Fourteen years old now, Shadow was adopted after her mixed breed Benji, a stray picked up at Hedges Central Elementary, passed away after a long 19-year life. It comes as no surprise to learn she’s been feeding 7 stray cats at Water Works since last fall.

Her biggest concern upon retirement is finding shelter for them.

“Water Works has been my second home,” she comments. “We have all been close-knit, so they’ve been a second family. The public as a whole has been great to work with, too. It’s been a pleasure working for the city. I’ve appreciated the opportunity.”

Bacon-wrapped Pork Roast

On January 6, 2011 at about 9 a.m. Mount Vernon Police Officers responded to a complaint of a person inside an attached garage at 1129 W. 3rd St. Officers Tony Alldredge, Ben Bohleber, and Chief Grant Beloat responded to the complaint.

The resident living at 1129 W. third St. did not know who the man was in her garage.

The male was apprehended and identified as 26 year old Daniel M. Farris

who sent Christmas cards.

45 were received, and also those who were kind enough to visit me while there. When I left, I bid several residents good-by and several of the nurses. I also told them that I would return later to visit them.

They all are very nice.

I was brought home my children Judy and Billy Ray. My daughter, Janet and her family were here to visit. Janet will be staying in town for an extended visit. We all gathered for an evening meal with Betty, Jaley, Tim, Dillion, Janet, and later were visited by Jim and Bonnie. Janet took me to church at the Poseyville Christian Church Sunday morning where I was welcomed back by all. Since I am getting tired, I will have to stop writing as frequent.

Dog is shot in Mount Vernon

Sermon of the Week: Reverent honesty before God By: Pastor Derrick Ousley First Baptist Church When a relationship is strained, how do we respond? Do we utter words unto a final break in the relationship? Do we ignore the problem and say no words at all? Or do we speak with frankness, honesty and love in order to mend the relationship?

The responses that we often have with other people also apply to our relationship with God. When we feel that our relationship with God is strained (e.g. death in the family, financial crisis, recurring sin), we have a few options. We can bring spite and pride before God’s throne in order to break off the relationship. We can ignore God altogether and nurse our wounds. Or we can speak with honesty yet reverence in order to find hope and nurture our faith.

The last response above, namely honest, reverent speech, is found quite often in the Scriptures. Both in the book of Lamentations and in the Psalms, for example, we get Godinspired laments from followers of God who are wrestling with the raw

emotion of hurt and sorrow. The authors bring their honest responses before God with the hope of finding restoration and healing for their hurts.

Psalm 42 is one song where we find lament.

Throughout the psalm, the author expresses sorrow and questions before God (v2, v6, v9-11a).

Separated from temple worship, the author feels his enemies closing in upon him. And yet, the author does not respond with hopelessness or despair. The psalmist, even in his sorrow, responds in faith. His faith is most prominently seen in how he ends the psalm—with an expression of hope and praise (v11b).

This psalm certainly can find application for us as individuals. But Psalm 42 also has application for the Church corporate.

How often do we, who have a secure relationship with God through Jesus Christ our Lord, never express honest lament before God? We fill our gatherings with upbeat messages, upbeat songs, and upbeat exhortations. And all the while we harbor deep-seated sorrow that

is never expressed openly, honestly, and reverently.

We ignore the hurt that we feel (or privately express our anger before Him), and our feelings turn into resentment and bitterness.

More often should we as the corporate Church use song and sermon to deal honestly with God in order to work through our laments and find hope and restoration in Him. If you have read this far, praise be to God! So I must address one more issue; the greatest issue of them all. If you have not turned from a love for your sin and turned toward the Crucified Christ, your relationship with God is necessarily strained, even non-existent. If you have not trusted in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in order to pay for your sins and give you new life, your relationship with God is strained to the extreme. If you do not treasure Christ above all else, cry out in lament for your own sin and seek the mercy of God that is found in the death of His Son, Jesus Christ. “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

(Romans 10:13)

Vikings take round two, Wildcats split weekend pair

By Dave Pearce There was one thing that Mount Vernon Coach Gary Wilsey and North Posey boss Matt Wadsworth agreed on. The North Posey Vikings would have been hardpressed to play much better than they played on Friday night against Mount Vernon.

After starting off a little cold and allowing an inspired Wildcat team to hand around for awhile, the Vikings put the clamps down on defense and shot extremely well from the field to take an 82-58 victory over Mount Vernon.

“That is a very good North Posey team,” Wilsey told his team following his team’s loss. “And tonight they were extremely good.”

The Wildcats, coming off their second win of the season, a 70-63 victory over Tell City on Friday night, appeared determined to make a better showing than they made earlier this year in the same match-up at Mount Vernon.

As a matter of fact, the Wildcats held a 22-21 lead when the Vikings appeared to shift it into a higher gear.

With about three minutes remaining in the first half and the Vikings trailing by one, Jourdan Cox and Dillon Davenport sandwiched 3-point baskets around an empty Wildcat trip down the floor and jumped ahead 2722.

Eric Wargel came up with a steal off the ensuing out-ofbounds play and his bucket put the Vikings ahead 2922. Dillon Davenport then found Cooper Martin open inside and the Vikings had moved out to a 31-24 half-

“It was nice to see Eric (Wargel) come in and do some good things for us,” Wadsworth said after the game. “It seemed like everyone who played gave us a solid effort. We are not go-

ing to shoot this well every night out but as long as we play good solid defense and are patient with our shots, we are going to continue to get better.”

Rappites fall to Rebels, and to 6-6

By Dave Pearce There is one thing that is for sure. When the New Harmony Rappites take the basketball court against any other Indiana school, the Rappites will be the smaller of the two schools.

Early on this season, the Rappites were playing schools only five or six times their high school’s population. However, now in the meat of their Indiana schedule, the Rappites can expect opponents to have at least eight to ten times the number of students in their schools.

And big numbers usually cause difficulties. This week was no exception.

After a fast start, the New Harmony boys’ basketball team ran into some trouble last week, falling to South Spencer Saturday night 76-54 after a 59-47 loss at Wayne City Tuesday.

On Saturday evening against South Spencer, the Levi Hoehn is fouled on his way to the basket during Rappites got some scoring the early going Saturday night. Photo by Dave Pearce help early from an unex-

pected source as Levi Hoehn seemed to be all over the court, scoring seven of the team’s first 11 points.

After taking an 11-10 lead, the South Spencer Rebels scored the final six points of the first quarter to take a 1611 lead at the break.

While the Rappites’ offensive output remained constant at 11 for the first two quarters, the Rebels had just too much size inside, getting several second-chance points. A soft press seemed to disrupt the Rappite rhythm, as well, allowing the Rebels some easy second-quarter baskets. The easy baskets combined with the inability of the Rappites to rebound with the bigger Rebels, allowed South Spencer to move out to a 39-22 half-time lead.

The Rappites were able to hold their own throughout the remainder of the contest but the Rebels’ big second quarter had spelled defeat for the Rappites and had evened their season record to 6-6.

And while Rappite Coach Jim Little was not happy with the loss, he knows that the important part of the season is still ahead of the team, including the sectional tournament where the Rappites hope to be competitive this year. But to do that, they must continue to improve.

“We’re playing the tough part of our schedule and the boys are still trying to learn our system,’ coach Jim Little said, “I think we are playing better ball right now, but we are just playing a tougher part of our schedule.”

Little is quick to add that the team is getting better and that they are heading in the right direction heading into games this week against Day School and Union Dugger.

The losses dropped the Rappites to .500 on the season, at 6-6 overall, Over the holidays, New Harmony fell to Lanesville 69-41 and Columbus Christian 60-49, while beating Cloverport 67-41

Senior Andrew McDaniel continues to lead the team, averaging 18 points and 11 rebounds per game. Blayne Worman averages 15 points per game, while Kris Scarafia averages 7.5 assists per contest.

Against South Spencer, Worman finished with 17 points while McDaniel was held to 12 and Hoehn finished with 10. Whitmore finished with eight and Scarafia with seven.

NEW HARMONY: Matthews 0 0-0 0,Worman 6 3-7 17, McDaniel 5 2-3 12, Whittmore 1 5-7 8, Scarafia 2 2-2 7, Hoehn 5 0-2 10. Totals 19 12-21 54.

Lady Vikings upset ranked Braves, win pair

By Dave Pearce The North Posey High School girls’ basketball team apparently believes in New Year’s resolutions.

The team entered the 2011 portion of the season with only one win to their credit. However, they served notice in a fourpoint loss to a very good Evansville North team that things could be heading in the right direction.

Since the loss to North, the Lady Vikings have doubled the win production of the 2010 portion of their schedule. First they upended Heritage Hills and followed that with a huge upset of Class A’s seventh-ranked Tecumseh Braves this week.

“We finally put four quarters together,” an elated Coach Tracy Stroud said following the upset. “We didn’t put four great quarters together but we did put four solid quarters together. These girls have really battled the last three games and it is nice to knock off a ranked opponent. And, it was nice to hand someone their first conference loss.”

The win over the Braves was no fluke. The Lady Vikings jumped out to a 13-3 lead after the first period of play and never looked back.

Tecumseh came out in the second period in a full-court press, one of the big reason’s they were 7-0 heading into action last week. However, North Posey Coach Tracy Stroud had scouted the Braves and had an answer for the pressure if his girls would execute. And execute they did.

The Braves opened the second period with a 3-pointer to pull to within 13-6 and on came the pressure. But the Lady Vikings remained cool under fire and ran off the next eight points as Katelyn Esche found Lisa Garris open two times in a row and Garris converted both. Nichole Perry then fed Caitlin Herrmann inside and the tall junior delivered. Next possession, Herrmann put back a missed shot and the Vikings were rolling 21-6.

“Caitlin has not been scoring a lot of points but her defensive presence has been something in there,” Stroud said of the 6-foot junior. “She has adapted to the way we are playing our zone and you can tell her confidence level is rising. It’s start-

SPOR S SPORTS Mt. Carmel freshman hangs 38-spot on Lady Cats in Big 8 loss

By Dave Pearce You’ve heard it said that “one player does not make a team.” After Thursday evening’s 56-46 loss at Mount Carmel, Ill., it might be a little difficult to convince Mount Vernon Wildcat girls basketball Coach Steve Mitchell.

A lanky 5-foot-6 freshman Tyra Buss from Mount Carmel, put the Golden Aces on her back and carried them to a win over the Lady Wildcats this week, handing them only their second loss of the season, and their first in Big Eight Conference play. Buss rang up 38 points on the Wildcats.

“She’s the best player that I have seen in my three years,” Mitchell said of Buss. “Did she get the benefit of some calls, I think probably so. But she was also trying to make some things happen. I’m not going to use the referees as an excuse, though. I don’t think she has a weakness. She handles the ball, gets it to open teammates, makes her team better, gets to the free throw line and plays great defense.

North Posey’s Ferguson is fan, PAC, faculty favorite

By Dave Pearce “Don’t it always seem to go That you don’t know what you’ve got ‘Til its gone.

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.”

While this song may have come from an old song recorded by Joni Mitchell, North Posey administrators got a first-hand look at what things would be like this week without the services of North Posey Athletic Director Virgil Ferguson.

Probably the biggest North Posey Viking fan (maybe both literally and figuratively), Ferguson had not been feeling well. Though continuing to perform all the required duties, Ferguson came in to school early last week and simply was unable to do anything else. He was having difficulty breathing and he was taken to the hospital.

He spent time in the hospital where it was determined that a liver disease was causing the problem. With proper medication, drainage of four liters of fluid from his body, and a strong desire, Ferguson returned to his North Posey office just in time to watch his Lady Vikings upset seventh-ranked Tecumseh this week.

Two night’s before, North Posey Principal Scott Strieter was scrambling around the school attempting not only to do his assigned duties but also to carry out Ferguson’s usual duties.

“I knew that Virgil does a lot of things around here to make everyone’s life easier, I guess I just never realized just how much he does,” a frazzled Strieter said as he picked up the slack for an event. “I’ve had to make sure there are people here to work the gate and the con-

North Posey Athletic Director Virgil Ferguson spent a portion of last week in the hospital. Administrators and fans alike were even more appreciative of his return.

Photo by Dave Pearce cession stands, I had to make sure they both had a cash box where they could make change. I’ve had to take care of getting the officials the things they needed when they got here. I had to see that everything in the gym (scorekeepers, time clock, the National Anthem, etc. etc.) was ready to go.”

But while Ferguson admits that his jobs are numerous and varied, you can tell by the look on his face that he just wouldn’t have it any other way. And even though he didn’t go to school originally to be an athletic director, he and all the coaches

and administrators are glad he’s at North Posey.

“I retired out of the military in 1993 and was working at American General Finance,” Ferguson recalls.

“Coach (Charles) Mair and I played high school basketball together and he asked me to come out and help him with the girls basketball team as a volunteer assistant coach.

I enjoyed it and that year, Coach Mair was also the boys varsity baseball coach and he wanted me to come out here and help him with that. I did and Mr. (John)

Watzlavik family strives for Mount Vernon Pride Paul and Holly Watzlavik of Mount Vernon consider their community service a way to give back to Posey County for providing a good place to work and raise their family.

“Posey County’s been very good to us,” Paul comments. “We’re fortunate the people in Posey County have always been supporters of our establishments. They’re loyal and support the local businesses. We appreciate that and want to give back where we can.”

Indeed, Paul and Holly give back, first of all, through their businesses, five retail liquor shops in Posey County and an Indianapolis-based company, employing altogether over 50 people. A Purdue engineer by trade, Paul considers the retail shops “our part-time hobby” since his primary employment is with Intact Services, a data and voice networking equipment company he owns and manages with two partners in i Indy.

I d Until U til this thi pastt summer, Holly, an Indiana State University

graduate, served the community for 8 years as an elementary teacher at St. Matthew School. Now, she does the bookkeeping for the retail shops.

In addition, along with Mount Vernon community service leader Jim Bartlett, Paul has established Mount Vernon Pride, perhaps the best-kept secret in Posey County.

The organization helps qualifying homeowners with remodeling or rebuilding by providing no-interest loans for the work.

Applications are available at Family Matters in Mount Vernon. Paul says homeowners may seek help with the smallest of needs – say, a new water heater- to the largest - for example, new windows or siding or a room addition. Applicants may also request help with medical expenses and transportation costs for work. “We consider anything homeowners may need to become more selfsuffi fficient,” i t ” Paul P l explains. l i The Watzlaviks are well-known for their commitment to the Catholic faith communi-

ty at St. Matthew. The couple has served on various committees, including parish council. Paul still serves as a lector, and both he and Holly cherish their roles as Eucharistic ministers.

High school sweethearts, Paul met Holly, a Mount Vernon native, after his family moved to Mount Vernon as General Electric transplants. They’ve been a couple for 30 years now. After college graduation, Paul and Holly were presented with the opportunity to move back to Mount Vernon 14 years ago. They appreciate the environment for their three growing children. Sarah is a 6th grade basketball player at Mount Vernon Junior High School. Lizzie is a freshman at Mount Vernon High School, who enjoys competing with the travel volleyball team and serving on student council.

Wildcat swimmers impressive Zoller plays havoc with line-up but teams still win

By Dave Pearce Must be that time in the high school swim season.

The Mount Vernon swim teams mixed their lienups Saturday as they dunked visiting Tell City and Vincennes. The boys topped the Marksmen 143-30 and the Alices 135-38, while the Lady Wet Wildcats were 109-71 winners over Tell City and 141-38 winners over the Lady Alices.

Coach Larry Zoller was pleased with the way both teams swam, citing a number of personal bests.

He was especially pleased with Clint Weimer’s efforts in the meet, adding that Dannen Turpin and Kevin Moore each had good days. Diver Kyle Smith had one of his better meets, as well.

The divers also highlighted the girls’ meet, with Katie McDonald and Sarah Hamblin performed well.

On Thursday night, the Wet Cats were just as dominant against visiting Memorial, winning 105-81, while the Lady Wet Cats were 147-30 winners over Memorial and 118-68 winners over Memorial.

Reid Mobley and Jacob Pool had the battle of the night, with Mobley holding off his teammate to win the 500-yard freestyle in a time of 5:01.6, to 5:03.1 for Pool.

Nicholas Loehr turned in a personal best in the 100-butterfly.In the girls’ meet, Amy Steele had a personal best in the 200-individual medley, as did Kelsey Turner in the 50-freeestyle and Kendyl Bourne in the 500freestyle.

Eighth-ranked Eagles host Drury on Thursday The eighth-ranked University of Southern Indiana men’s basketball team erased a 16point first half deficit and went on to defeat Missouri University of Science & Technology, 76-56, Saturday afternoon at the Physical Activities Center. USI, which has won eight straight, raised its record to 13-1 overall and 5-1 in the GLVC, while Missouri S&T fell to 6-7, 2-4 GLVC. The Screaming Eagles spotted the Miners a 16-point advantage in the first 10 minutes of the game before going in a 16-5 run to lead 31-26 by the intermission. USI senior center Mohamed Ntumba (Kinshasa, Congo), led the Eagles’ comeback with 12 first half points, while freshman forward Eduardo Gallina (Florianopolis, Brazil) scored five points in the final minute to give USI the lead.

nal half (17-31), extended its halftime lead to as many as 24 points three times near the end of the game.

Ntumba led four USI players in double figures, finishing the game with a team-high 14 points. The senior also had seven rebounds, three blocks, and two steals in the win.

USI senior guards Kevin Gant (Indianapolis, Indiana) and C.J. Trotter (Hopkinsville, Kentucky) followed Ntumba in the scoring column with 11 points each, while senior forward Nick Duncheon (Montgomery, Indiana) dropped in 10 points. Gant also dished out a game-high seven assists.

As a team, USI did the job as a team once again on the glass and outrebounded the Miners, 39-28. Junior forward Isaac McClure (Paducah, Kentucky) led the Eagles on the glass with nine rebounds.

The Eagles conclude the three-game homestand Thursday when they host the Panthers of Drury University. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

Mount Vernon native Kost enjoying life as womens’ hoop coach

By Steve Joos When the Coastal Carolina University women’s basketball team came to Evansville for the recent Aces Winter Classic, it was a bit of a homecoming for the five Hoosiers on the Lady Chanticleers’ roster, especially senior forward Taylor Epley, a Castle product.

It was also a homecoming for one of the assistant coaches, who happens to have his roots in Posey County.

Mount Vernon graduate Mark Kost came back to this area with the CCU women’s team, which he has helped direct for the past several seasons.

The former Wildcat baseball and basketball standout has done just about everything in his capacity with the Conway, S.C., school.

Kost does just about everything one can think of as an assistant coach, including recruiting, scheduling, making team travel arrangements, practice planning…just about anything.

Scheduling and recruiting require a lot of time on the phones, especially for a mid-major like CCU, Kost said.

“Scheduling is getting on the phone with other schools, whether it’s the University of Evansville, or Valpo (Valparaiso, which defeated CCU 59-52 in the third place game at UE) and set up a date and then set up a date for a return trip to your place. Then, it’s also trying to fit the places where your players are from. We’ve had players from Florida, Pennsylvania and Kentucky in the past, so we try to get back to the places where they’re from.”

In addition to Epley, the Lady Chanticleers’ roster includes five players from the Indianapolis area (Katie Althaus, Angelica Henry, Alex Pickett, Kira Carter and Shinka Maddox), two of whom (Althaus and Carter) played junior college basketball at Vincennes and Wabash Valley, which is even closer to Evansville.

Two other players hailed from the Chicago area and a third came from Ohio, while freshman Katelyn Connor comes from Ashland,

Ky. As for recruiting, it’s a matter of finding talent and then building a relationship with the player’s families, high school coaches and summer league coaches, Kost explained.

“We recruit anywhere east of the Mississippi River,” he said. “Because we’re from the coast, we don’t have a radius because half of our radius is in the ocean. So, we stretch from Florida to the Northeast to the Midwest.

We try to find the best player, the best student and the best person that we can.”

His recruiting classes have been quite fruitful, including three All-Big South Conference players (Amanda Stull, Sydnei Moss and Vicky Blanchard) and four all-freshman picks (Moss, Stull, Devin Rivers and Lacey Lions). A 2010 graduate, Stull was also named the Big South Defensive player of the Year, Scholar Athletes and ESPN the Magazine Academic All-American.

Giving those players’ families and friends a chance to see them play is one reason for CCU’s trip to Evansville, Kost said, but unfortunately, they weren’t that successful on the scoreboard, losing to Valpo and the eventual champions from Central Michigan 9642.

Kost started out as an accountant who was helping coach at South Bend St. Joseph’s High School while also doing some work with the Notre Dame men’s hoop and football programs after graduating from Notre Dame in 1995.

The wide-ranging nature of Kost’s duties weren’t all that new to the former Wildcat infielder. He handled all elements of the program in his two seasons at South Bend St. Joseph’s, including on-court coaching, player development and scouting.

At Notre Dame, he was an office contractor for both the football and men’s basketball programs, helping both programs utilize the Internet as a recruiting tool.

Fighting Irish coach Mike Bray was friends with then-Coastal Carolina coach

Lewis Preston when a position opened with the Chanticleer men’s program in 2002, and helped Kost with that position. After a year with the men’s program, Kost moved over the women’s team, where he has worked ever since under veteran Kevin LaForce.

“I’ve always respected him (LaForce) as a coach and looked at him as almost (other than my mom and dad) as a father figure,” Kost said. “I’ve worked for him for the last eight years and it’s been the greatest experience of my life.”

One of the good things about working under LaForce is that the longtime mentor gives his assistants a job and then lets them do it to the best of their abilities, Kost added.

They’re coming off a 17-13 season in 2009-10, including a 7-9 mark in the Big South Conference. During Kost’s eight years on the staff, the Lady Chanticleers have posted a 103-95 record.

As for this season, Coastal Carolina is hovering around .500 with a very young bas-

SPORTS P RT Globetrotters announce time change for Evansville event Due to an adjustment in the schedule at many Evansville schools, the Harlem Globetrotters have changed the start time of their performance at Roberts Stadium on Monday, Jan. 17, to 7 p.m.

The game was originally set for a 2 p.m. tip-off, as schools were scheduled to be out of session for Martin Luther King Day. The Globetrotters have discovered that many schools plan to use that day to make up for a snow day, so the team changed the

tip-off time to 7 p.m. to allow more fans the opportunity to enjoy the Globetrotters live and in person.

In addition, the Globetrotters are offering a special “Kids Ticket” for the show.

Tickets at select levels are available for kids age 17 and under for the special price of $15.

Information on group and scout tickets can also be found at www.harlemglobetrotters.com.

Viking wrestlers enjoy successful day at Forest Park Invite

By Dave Pearce The North Posey Viking wrestling team enjoyed a successful day on Saturday at the Forest Park Invitational.

Wrestling teams of similar caliber, the Vikings were able to hold their own and finish the day with a 3-2 record.

Tyler Stock at 103, Shane Martin at 119, and Austin Little at heavyweight each finished champions of their classes and were awarded plaques at the end of the day. Chris O’Risky finished the day at 4-1.

While Stock is a solid textbook wrestler, Martin is described by his coach as unorthodox. However, because he works so hard, he is able to overcome some people who may be more skilled. That was the case on Saturday.

“As a coach, you really like him because he gives everything he’s got every time he goes out but he just does everything wrong,” Hoehn said with a chuckle. “He is difficult to coach because he could be so much better if

he would pay attention a little bit more but you certainly can’t fault him when it comes to effort.”

The 3-2 day was a welcome relief after a dismal showing at Gibson Southern last week, according to Hoehn.

“It was a good tournament for us,” North Posey Coach Chad Hoehn said of the day.

“We probably should have gone 4-1 but I guess we could have gone 1-4 just about as easily.”

Hoehn said during the middle matches of the five-match tournament, the Vikings were sharp. But they simply didn’t show up in the early match and the final match of the day was disappointing for the coach, as well.

“Charlestown came out and just dominated us,” Hoehn said of the first match of the day. “I told the guys that win or lose, if they just came out and gave me a good effort, I would be pleased. I was just looking for something positive but we came out and

our first four guys got pinned. We just came out really flat.”

The highlight of the day could have come when the Vikings were able to avenge an earlier season loss to the Pike Central Chargers.

“We are young but we are still really soft,” Hoehn said of his freshman-dominated squad. “When a team comes out and gets really physical with us, we just don’t react very well.”

The Vikings defeated Tecumseh and gave up no points in the match with Austin Little avenging a Castle Invitational loss to his Tecumseh opponent.

“I think everyone wrestled well against Forest Park, even the kids who did not win,” Hoehn said of the Vikings. “We were really happy to beat Forest Park. Then North Knox came out in the last match and pretty much beat on us because they looked like they wanted it more than we did.”

But not all was bad news for the Vikings.

Perhaps the highlight of that match, and maybe even the day, was when Chris O’Risky, trailing by seven points, managed to come up with a pin with five seconds to go.

The Vikings will host Harrison on Wednesday and Southridge on Thursday and that will give Hoehn a better idea as to how far his team has come. The Vikings and Warriors faced off in the Castle Invitational earlier in the year and the Vikings were declared the winners of a tied match because they had more pins.

As for the future, Hoehn said that just because you have a good day against mediocre competition doesn’t mean that you have reached the level you need to be.

“I realize they are young but they are varsity wrestlers and it takes a lot of effort to wrestle at the varsity level,” Hoehn said.

“After this week, I will know better how far we have come.”

try-outs and became a part of the East Los Angeles Community College basketball team. He made the team and was a part of the travel squad.

After his second year of college, Ferguson enlisted in the Air Force in an effort to prevent being drafted and going to Vietnam. He was tested by the Air Force and scored well enough in 1972 to work in classified programs for the Air Force. He spent time prior to Desert Storm in Saudi Arabia as a liaison to the Royal Saudi Air Force. He retired as a Master Sergeant.

After over 21 years in the Air Force, his first North Posey graduating class was in 1997. With a lack of much family of his own, Ferguson has adopted the school, the students, the athletics, and the community as his

family. On a typical day, he is one of the first to arrive and one of the last to leave. On nonwinter evenings, you will often find him atop a lawnmower getting the soccer, softball, and baseball field mowed in preparation for the next big Viking event.

A short list of his duties begins with scheduling the games, scheduling the practice facilities, scheduling officials, paying officials, running the athletic budget, recommending uniform and safety equipment and other necessary team purchases. He also handles transportation scheduling to and from away games and is in charge of the gates at home games. And that is just the beginning.

He is the senior Athletic Director for the Pocket Athletic Conference and orders all the PAC medals and ribbons and gets those dis-

tributed. For the past six years, he has served on the IIAAA Board of Directors who submits policies and changes to the IHSAA. “It is a full time job…it’s more than a full time job,” Ferguson said with a smile. “It’s probably a 60-hour work week. Yesterday, I got here at 8:30 and left at 9:45 and that was my first day back from surgery.”

But when you walk down the halls at North Posey High School, it is readily apparent why Ferguson stays with the job. He loves almost everything about it. He gets along well with students and staff and says it gives him great satisfaction to think that he might, in some small way, have had a positive influence on the life of a student.

“That’s what life is all about,” Ferguson concluded.

Virgil Ferguson, from Page B2 Wood was the principal.”

“Then when John Wood became superintendent I had been here two years as an assistant and had shown a lot of enthusiasm and had been coming to almost all of the games,” Ferguson said. “They said they needed help in the athletic director’s office and they asked me to apply for the ‘activities coordinator’ position they had open at the time.”

Ferguson said he applied and was hired and then when the athletic director stepped down, Ferguson was asked to take that job.

Originally a business major with a degree through the Air Force, he graduated from Owensville High School. Upon his parents’ separation, he moved to California to live with his father. As a California resident, tuition is state-provided and Ferguson survived

Lady Wildcats recover, from Page B2 hands. You name it, she does it. If she has a weakness, I have watched them play three times and I haven’t seen it.”

The Golden Aces shot 20 free throws compared to seven for the Lady Wildcats.

Mitchell said the Golden Aces surprised his team with their pressure. Apparently, with an undefeated conference record and going into a hostile environment, the Illinois school turned it up a notch.

“When we scouted them, I didn’t think the pressure would hurt us as much as it did,” Mitchell said. “I have to give them credit for cranking up their defense a little bit. It was just one of those games where we played behind and played behind and then we finally got the lead. Then Buss said ‘You’re not going to beat us today’ and she just took over there in the fourth quarter.”

After trailing 16-13 and 31-23 at the first two stops, the Lady Wildcats put on a comeback clinic in the third quarter and managed to take a narrow 38-37 lead into the final stanza.

“We had more size than they did and in the third quarter, I think we went inside and tried to take advantage of that,” Mitchell said. “Maybe we should have done more of that in the fourth quarter.”

“But I just have to give Mount Carmel credit,” Mitchell said. “They played a great ballgame and I just don’t think we played as well as we could have but I think they had something to do with that.”

Mitchell said that looking back, he decided not to change

the plan of attack the Lady Cats have used all year. They get up and down the floor and press and attack.

“If I had it to do over again, I don’t think I would have pressed in the first half and would have tried to slow it down a little more,” the coach explained. “That’s what we did there in the second half and I think that is where we were most successful.”

Amy Seifert led the team with 19 points while Jacey Ritzert had 13 and Carynn Koch had 10. Jad Dixon rounded out the scoring with five points. Only four Mount Vernon players were able to break into the scoring column.

But despite the conference loss, the Lady Wildcats’ hopes for a Big Eight Conference championship remain alive as the Lady Golden Aces also have a loss. If the Lady Wildcats could handle Vincennes on Saturday and then take care of business at Jasper next week, they could still claim a share of the title.

On Saturday, they took that first big step.

It is tough to keep a good team down and the Mount Vernon Wildcats proved that on Saturday when they hosted the Vincennes Lincoln Alices. They sent the Alices packing with a 67-32 shiner.

The Alices, who depend a lot on the 3-point shot for their offense, were not hitting the deep one and by the time the Lady Alices had attempted to adjust, the Lady Cats had run up a 26-11 score and that was just the first quarter.

“Vincennes is playing some young kids but they have played some good teams pretty tough,” Wildcat Coach

Steve Mitchell said of the Alices. “Princeton just beat them by five so we played them a pretty good ball game today.”

The Lady Alices finished 0-13 from long distance and they just didn’t have the horses to run with a fired-up Wildcat team, coming off its first conference loss.

“We just kind of wanted to come back and forget about the loss we had Thursday night,” Mitchell said. “We wanted to just play with the same enthusiasm, hustle, and intensity that we had in our other wins. We really didn’t have to have much of a game plan. These girls knew what had to be done and they went out and did it.”

The Alices were unable to handle the Lady Wildcat pressure and the Cats turned many of those turnovers into easy baskets. As a matter of fact, by the time half-time had arrived, the Wildcats were rolling to the tune of 34-13. They held the Alices to only two points in the second period.

“They did what they do best, they pressured the ball and ran the floor,” Mitchell said. “We had good balance, as well.”

Senior Carynn Koch led the team with 19 points while Jacey Ritzert has 12, Megan Randall 11, and Jade Dixon had nine. Amy Seifert finished with six while Jenny Koch and Ellen Foster had four apiece and Lauren Stemple had two.

“It was a great atmosphere over there and a big crowd, almost the same kind of atmosphere you have in a tournament,” Mitchell said. “If it helps us to get ready for the tournament, so be it.”

Lady Vikings spring upset, from Page B1 ing to effect her offense, as well. She knows she is doing some good things out there.”

Over the remainder of the second period, the Braves outscored the Vikings 12-10 but the Vikings remained in control 31-18 at half-time.

But as good teams do, the Lady Braves came out in the second half and cut the lead down to ten at 35-25 and the teams traded baskets before Perry’s prayer was answered with .4 seconds remaining on the clock as the was knocked to the floor. On her way down, knowing that the quarter was ending, the ball went up and hit nothing but net.

When she made the free throw, the team had survived the storm and maintained a 13point lead heading into the final period.

The Lady Braves did not have an answer for a healthy Perry and the inside game of Garris and Herrmann, who both found a way to stay of out foul trouble.

Perry nailed a jumper to open the quarter before Morgan Stierley grabbed a steal and passed the ball ahead to an open Kendyl Ahrens. Perry then began taking the ball to the basket, and trailing by nearly 20, the Lady Braves simply could not keep up the pace.

“We missed a few bunnies out there tonight but the big difference is that we played hard enough on the defensive end that when we did miss, we got it back on the defensive end,” Stroud said. “We kept them from scoring and that keeps you in games

no matter how many offensive mistakes you make in a game.”

Perry hit four straight free throws and Herrmann added a pair before Stroud took his starters out of the contest with 1:21 remaining and leading 52-29. The final was 53-33.

For the Vikings, Perry led the team with 17 while Garris had ten and Ahrens nine.

Esche finished with eight while Herrmann had six.

Earlier in the week, the Lady Vikings won on what could have been termed a “technicality.”

The Lady Vikings were hosting the Heritage Hills Patriots and the game got ugly, even before the fouls and the technicals.

The Lady Vikings jumped out to a 9-0 lead when Perry nailed a 3-pointer with 2:40 remaining in the first period.

Frustration set in on the part of the Heritage Hills players and coaches as the Lady Vikings continued to maintain and build a lead in the second quarter. Two Perry free throws with 2:35 remaining in the half gave the Vikings their largest lead of the half at 22-9. They settled for a 24-14 half-time lead. Haley Harness provided a spark off the bench, scoring a pair of buckets in the final three minutes of the half.

But in the third period, the Lady Patriots made their move. Garris picked up her third foul on the first bucket of the third period

and suddenly, the Lady Patriots were right back in the game at 24-17.

“There was something about the second half that we just got out of sync,” Stroud said of his team. “We worked the ball well and were getting some good shots. We just weren’t making them. And when you miss three or four in a row, you start pressing yourself.”

Garris picked up her fourth foul at the 4:21 mark while the other inside threat for the Vikings, Herrmann, picked up her fourth with :35 remaining in the third. Still the Vikings managed to hang on to a 35-19 lead at the end of the period.

With most of North Posey’s size in foul trouble, the Lady Patriots took advantage, pulling back to within 35-27 as they scored the first eight points of the final period. During that time, the Lady Vikings had gone cold from the field, at one time missing three lay-ups in a row. Esche finally broke the drought when she hit a free throw to put the Vikings up 36-27. But Heritage Hills fought back…literally.

Some unsolicited “constructive criticism” for the officials from the Heritage Hills bench sent Perry to the line for two technical free throws and the ball out.

Seconds later, an unnecessary hard foul on Perry sent the senior back to the line for two free throws and the ball out of bounds.

She hit one of the two.

On the next North Posey possession, the Heritage Hills coach made an early exit as he picked up his second technical and the Vikings spent most of the final three minutes at the line.

“We needed the win and we got it,” Stroud said. “If this effort continues, this is going to be a fun half of the season. Everyone has been working hard and we have been more selective on offense. We are working harder in the games, like they do in practice. We’re starting to learn more and learn our roles on the team.”

With less than a minute to play, a comment made by the player who had committed the hard foul was overheard by the official and that player joined her coach in the locker room for the final 45 seconds of the contest.

The Lady Vikings won the contest going away by a 46-33 count.

The team’s record now stands at 3-7 with games this week at Princeton and Pike Central.

Vikings win round two, from Page B1 Wilsey agreed with Wadsworth’s assessment of the game.

“We had some mental lapses out there tonight and good teams make you pay for momentary lapses,” Wilsey explained. “It seemed like they took advantage of every mistake we made.”

The Vikings wasted little time taking up where they left off at half-time. Just ten seconds into the second half, Martin found himself wide open at the top of the key and buried a 3-pointer to put the Vikings up by 10. Davenport nailed a 3-pointer just 15 seconds later and the Wildcats took a time out to try and regroup and cool off the Vikings.

Ryan Koch responded with a shot inside but Nick Scheller answered with yet another 3-pointer at the 6:05 mark and the Vikings were ahead 40-26.

The teams traded buckets for the next two minutes as Koch hit one of two free throws and Cameron Calvert found Nick Neidig for two. River VanZant then answered with a three for the Wildcats.

Scheller then got loose for a jumper but Jacob Steinhart answered.

Scheller was apparently offended by the reaction and nailed a long range bomb to put the Vikings ahead 47-33.

The Wildcats and Koch scored the next five points to get the lead into single digits at 47-38 before Davenport finally answered.

When Cox picked up his third foul with 3:35 to go in the quarter, the Vikings took a time out.

Then VanZant hit two free throws but Martin answered with another three. Steinhart scored but Scheller answered sticking back a miss. Sam Johnson scored but Calvert was fouled and made the two free throws. Jason Stemple drove

for two as the quarter expired and the Vikings held a 10-point lead heading into the final period.

“Davenport gave us a little bit of a match-up problem,” Wilsey said of the speedy point guard. “He got inside on us too many times.”

But the fourth quarter belonged to the Vikings.

After Aaron Straub pulled Mount Vernon to within 56-49 on an old-fashioned 3-point play to begin the quarter, the Vikings took over.

Cox and Scheller again did much of the damage as they again buried back-to-back 3-pointers before the Wildcats took a time out.

Scheller hit one of two free throws and Davenport drove the lane for two before Austin Goebel could answer with a three.

Davenport took advantage of the mismatch to hit back-toback shots before Goebel again shook loose for a 3-point basket to pull back to within 69-55.

But the Vikings would outscore the Wildcats 13-3 over the final three minutes as Cox had a pair of 3-pointers, Calvert got loose inside, Scheller hit a free throw, and Davenport hit two more free throws. Troy Paris came off the Mount Vernon bench to nail a 3-pointer to conclude the Wildcat scoring at 58.

Down the stretch, Wes Harness scored and Neidig hit one of two free throws to total 82.

“I know it is hard for you guys to see it but you are getting better,” Wilsey told his team. “It might not be as quickly or in as large increments as you would like but you are getting better.”

Wadsworth had basically the same message for his team,

challenging them to continue to play hard, particularly on the defensive end of the floor.

The Vikings will face Tecumseh on Friday evening before a huge game against top-ranked Forest Park on Saturday evening at Poseyville. The 10-0 Rangers host South Spencer on Friday before traveling to Posey County on Saturday. The Rangers defeated Washington before winning the Graber Post Buildings eight-team Classic last week. When state-wide AllClass rankings came out Sunday evening, the Rangers were tied with Indianapolis Broad Ripple for the No. 19 team in the state. Indianapolis North Central leads the poll.

Meanwhile, the Wildcats will prepare for Vincennes this weekend before participating in the Carmi-White County Invitational next week.

Are You Tired Of Trying To Keep Up A Home Alone?

Have you considered The Ford Home recently? You may or may not be aware that The Ford Home no longer requires you to turn over any of your assets to become a resident. Rooms are available for monthly rental and we are currently taking applications. You only pay a deposit equal to one month’s rent and then pay your monthly rent just as you would if you rented an apartment. There is no long term lease required; only a 30 day notice. The only prerequisite is that you pass our physical requirements. Please take a minute to consider the possibilities. We have so much to offer! . Box 395
