Ex-Yorktown High School teacher found not guilty of battery charges

MUNCIE, IN — A former physical education teacher at Yorktown High School has been found not guilty of five battery charges. A Delaware Circuit Court 4 jury on Tuesday, Oct. 27, found 61-year-old Kevin McNamara, 61, of Pendleton, not guilty of the five charges, all Class B misdemeanors that carried maximum 180-day jail sentences. The charges against McNamara were filed in October 2025. The charges reportedly stemmed from a series of incidents during a physical education class — on that day apparently involving tennis instruction — at the high school. Court documents said only that the teacher was accused of touching the students, identified by their initials, in "a rude, insolent or angry manner." McNamara was represented in his two-day trial by attorneys Mark McKinney, Michael Leonard and Jeanne Smith. More: Guard accused of battering brothers during Muncie Mall confrontation After the case against McNamara was filed in 2025, McKinney said his client was "absolutely innocent of these charges." McNamara, who also worked as an athletic trainer, had been employed by Yorktown schools since August 2003. He resigned from his teaching position soon after the misdemeanor charges were filed.

Bloomington South, North football IHSAA sectional semifinal updates

Just like that, the Bloomington area is down to two teams in the 2026 IHSAA playoffs. Both got here by default technically, as South and North were off last week due to being in a four-team Class 5A sectional. Both teams enter tonight's games as favorites, with South hosting Franklin and North making the long trek to face Seymour. A pair of victories would set up an all-Bloomington sectional final next Friday, Nov. 6. North last played the Owls (3-6) in the 2022 sectional opener winning 56-38. All three of Seymour's wins have come in the last three games against Jennings County, New Albany and Crispus Attucks, who are a combined 6-22. The only common foe this year was Bedford North Lawrence, which whipped Seymour, 43-12. More: Bloomington North's Roberts family fighting odds, waiting for a miracle South (7-2) last played Franklin (4-5) in 1982. The Grizzly Cubs come spiraling in on a four-game losing skid, the last three lop-sided defeats to Plainfield, Bloomington North and Decatur Central. Franklin has won just three sectional games since 2012 and won its only sectional in 1984. In Sectional 16, it's New Albany (1-8) at Evansville North (4-5) and Floyd Central (8-1) at

Caitlin Clark surprises Indiana high school team with new Caitlin 1s

Caitlin Clark gave local Indiana hoopers the surprise of a lifetime. Caitlin Clark didn’t just show up in Indiana, she completely took the place by storm. She’s built a fiercely loyal cult following that turns every single Fever game, whether it’s home or away, packing arenas with kids rocking her #22 jersey. But the wildest part about the whole Clark phenomenon is how little she lets the hype change her. You constantly see her sticking around long after the final buzzer just to autograph battered signs, high-five kids in the front row, and lean into local charity work. In an era where superst...
