South Knox girls basketball coach suspended for undue influence violation

South Knox girls basketball coach Hollie Anson-Eaves has been suspended two games for violating the Indiana High School Athletic Association's undue influence policy, superintendent Jeff Cochren confirmed Wednesday. Additionally, the program has been placed on probation for the remainder of the season. Rule 20-1 of the IHSAA bylaws prohibits the recruitment or attempted recruitment of a prospective student through the use of undue influence, which is described as "the act of encouraging or inducing a prospective student to attend a school for athletic purposes." Anson-Eaves may resume coaching after serving her two-game suspension, but, according to the IHSAA by-laws, must immediately file a report with the IHSAA outlining any corrective actions taken or to be taken by the coach. In an email to IndyStar and The Courier Press, Cochren said the violation resulted from social media activity some time in May 2026. The South Knox administration was informed of "the potential for a violation" by the IHSAA in July, and was then "required to respond" to the alleged violation. They did so via written letter in August, then received official notification of the punishment on Nov. 5. Anson-Eaves served the first game of her suspension Tuesday, sitting out South Knox's

Talks around Evansville's Mesker Amphitheatre not dead, not active

EVANSVILLE – Talks over Mesker Amphitheatre aren't active. But they aren't dead, either. That's the purgatorial state of Evansville's historic outdoor venue more than a year after the Board of Park Commissioners accepted a proposal from an outside entity to potentially lease it and raise it from the dead. The person behind that proposal – Tim Drake, owner of The Mill amphitheater in Terre Haute, Indiana – was the only party to express interest during a 60-day window for proposals between July and September of 2025. Talks between Drake and the city apparently stalled, though, and everyone involved has remained tight-lipped ever since . On Monday, Anna Raben, spokeswoman for Mayor Stephanie Terry's office, said "there have been no recent developments in discussions with The Mill." "However, conversations have not been formally closed," she said. "We will share additional information if there are any updates." In a previous email to the Courier & Press, Raben said the city is looking into the possibility of "an" amphitheater. The focus is on "identifying an approach that best serves the community’s long-term interests." Problems at Mesker Amphitheatre None of that is great news for Mesker itself. The 74-year-old venue has hosted everyone from
