But when she told her two daughters, Iglaidis and Gema, that they should open a Spanish restaurant, the pair weren’t having it.

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.
