Iyla Kress is no longer a secret this season for Heritage Hills girls basketball

LINCOLN CITY — Heritage Hills coach Kim Brown has the talking points memorized. Her audience is typically elementary school kids at the Patriots' annual summer camp. Brown goes over what it takes to become a successful player at the varsity level: "If you can handle the ball, dribble the ball and pass the ball then you're going to play." What if you have an individual who not only possesses those skills but excels at them? A point guard with attributes few have around Southern Indiana. One whose basketball potential is purely different. That's the luxurious position in which Heritage Hills girls basketball finds itself. More: Who is No. 1 in the Courier & Press girls basketball preseason power rankings? It has Iyla Kress in the lineup. "You don’t see 6-foot guards in Southern Indiana very often who can handle the way she handles," Brown said. The sophomore point guard is no longer a secret in the basketball world around Evansville. Not after receiving a handful of Division I offers this summer. Not after growing another two or three inches. Kress has officially become the player opposing coaches are jealous isn't in their program. Heritage Hills knew this for some time.

Indiana girls basketball state championship-winning coach given two-game suspension

Two years ago, South Knox (IN) won its only state championship in school history when the girls basketball team won the Class 2A championship. To kick off the 2026-27 season, however, the Spartans will be without their head coach. Brian Haenchen of the IndyStar and Kyle Sokeland of the Courier and Press reported on Wednesday, Nov. 11, that Hollie Anson-Eaves received the two-game suspension for violating the Indiana High School Athletic Association's “undue influence” policy. In addition to the suspension, the program has also been placed on probation for the year. The IndyStar and Courier Press received an email from South Knox Superintendent Jeff Cochren confirming the news and stating the violation occurred in May. Two months later, the IHSAA informed South Knox of the "potential for a violation" and was informed that they needed to respond. The administration responded with a written letter in August and on Nov. 5 received the punishment. Per the IHSAA bylaws, Rule 20-1 prohibits coaches and schools to recruit or attempt to recruit student-athletes under the use of “undue influence” — that being the encouragement or inducing that player to attend a school solely for athletic-related reasons. Anson-Eaves served the first of her two-game

Lillie Graves has a chance at Indiana Miss Basketball history this season

LAFAYETTE — There is no higher individual honor in Indiana high school girls basketball than winning the Miss Basketball award. Handed out to the state’s top performing senior, the list of recipients in the 50-year history include multiple future college and WNBA stars. Amazingly, though, nobody from a high school in Lafayette city limits has won the prestigious honor. That could change this winter. McCutcheon is home to Lillie Graves , and she is an early frontrunner for the award in her senior season. It doesn’t take long to discover why. Rated a four-star recruit and ranked 60th nationally by ESPN, the Virginia Tech commit has become a prolific talent. She averaged 17.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 3.3 steals per game last season on 47% shooting from the field for the Class 4A semi-state runner-up Mavericks , while also shooting a career-best 33% from behind the arc. More: Top returning 2026-27 girls basketball teams from Lafayette area Graves is also likely to break the Tippecanoe County scoring record set by Lafayette Jeff’s Maya Layton last year. Layton finished her career with 2,044 points, while Graves was at 1,565 before this season began — 479 points off. She has

Triton School Board Acknowledges Receipt Of Two IDOE Notices

BOURBON – Triton School Board on Monday, Nov. 9, approved the acknowledgement of two Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) notices the school corporation received. Superintendent Jeremy Riffle said Indiana law requires school corporations to spend at least 65% of state tuition support on teacher compensation for fiscal year 2026. Triton Schools spent 63.49% on teacher compensation. He said as a small corporation, retirements have a big effect on certified salary totals. When experienced teachers retire, they are typically replaced with teachers who have fewer years of experience and earn less, which lowers the overall salary spending even as individual teachers receive raises.

Too many public school referendums lost on Election Day | Opinion

Watching the results come in on Election Day, I was grateful to see over two-thirds of Indiana's school referendums pass with ample community support, including in Indianapolis. But I was also devastated that many others across the state failed . It’s looking like 12 school districts will enter a maelstrom of fiscal uncertainty. I know what’s next: cuts, consolidations and closures. Teachers will lose their jobs. Students will lose access to programs, transportation and maybe school itself. And shrinking communities will lose an anchor that moored them from the storm. Who is responsible? People will argue that districts are inefficient, though there’s very little evidence of that where voters said no. The reality is that state and federal dollars haven’t kept pace with the rising costs of education, including diesel for buses and food for school meals. Indiana has dropped from 15th to 38th in the nation in per-pupil funding. Cuts to Medicaid have also hammered schools, as it provides the core revenue stream for school nurses, psychologists, occupational and physical therapists, special education technology and mental health services. If schools are going to continue offering those services, they have to find a way to pay. So why doesn’t the
