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

West Lafayette native wins prestigious film scoring scholarship

West Lafayette native Sebastien Hollich has received Berklee College of Music's BMI Film Scoring Scholarship, an annual award recognizing a promising student composer. Hollich, a Berklee senior majoring in screen scoring, received the scholarship during the college's annual BMI Day on Nov. 2, according to a community announcement. The Screen Scoring Department selects the recipient based on musical ability, financial need and potential for career success. "Receiving this award has been one of the highlights of my Berklee experience thus far, and I’m incredibly grateful to BMI and the department for believing in my work," Hollich said. Hollich began pursuing media composition in ninth grade after hearing Lorne Balfe's score for "His Dark Materials." He taught himself composition and production for four years before college. At Berklee, Hollich is the Screen Scoring Department's student ambassador, vice president of the Student Government Association and president of the Film Scoring Network. His music has been recorded by professional musicians at Vienna Synchron Stage, and he produces showcase content for Vienna Symphonic Library. After graduation, Hollich hopes to work as an additional composer or composer's assistant and eventually establish his own scoring studio and production team.

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
