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

Preseason Class 1A boys basketball rankings: Can Barr-Reeve repeat?

Consider this my preseason ballot for Class 1A in high school basketball. Certainly subject to change, though I feel pretty strong about No. 1 and No. 2: 1: Barr-Reeve (28-1 last season, Class 1A state champions) Heath Howington won a state championship in his first year as coach after moving over from Evansville Memorial … and this year’s team might be even better. The Vikings bring back a lot of talent from that title team, including 6-foot senior Kierson Lengacher (14.0 ppg, 2.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists), 5-11 junior Jaylon Graber (10.8 ppg, 4.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists), 6-4 junior Braxton Neidigh (9.9 ppg, 3.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists), 6-1 junior Josh Miller (8.6 ppg, 4.4 rebounds) and 5-9 senior Carson Yoder (5.5 ppg, 4.0 assists, 3.9 rebounds). Wrigley Wirtz, a 6-3 junior, and 5-11 junior Brady Stoll, 6-foot junior Easton Graber and 6-1 sophomore Hudson Neidigh move up from a JV team that went 20-1. Barr-Reeve makes a couple trips to Central Indiana to play in the Tipoff Classic (Dec. 12 at Carmel) against Blackford and Jan. 2 at Riverview Health Arena in Noblesville to play Westview. 2: Liberty Christian (19-8, regional champion) The Lions were a two-point loss to Barr-Reeve away

More Indiana high schools are taking learning to the workplace

Every Tuesday, Suriah Pinner will wake up, get dressed and head to school at Providence Cristo Rey on the south side of Indianapolis. But the high school junior doesn’t go to class. Instead, she gets on a bus to Carmel, where she’ll work for about six hours in the accounting department at Integrity Fiber , a paper and recycling company. Providence Cristo Rey places all of its students into an internship, where they work one day a week during school hours. Accounting is not Pinner’s dream job. She wants to go to medical school and eventually, become a general surgeon. But she likes getting to explore a different path and learn what a professional role might look like for her. “Now I get to see a different range of options, and really weigh what’s good for me and what’s not,” the 17-year-old said. In a few years, it’s likely more Indianapolis students will be getting work experience. Indiana recently changed its high school graduation requirements to encourage students to think about what’s next for them after high school — whether it’s college, public service or employment. State officials say these changes make it possible for more schools to think creatively
