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.

We love our hoops here in Kentucky, and we love 'em in Owensboro, too. So you can imagine our excitement when we learned that some of the nation's best high school basketball talent is coming to our fair city.

Castle football wins Sectional 16 championship against North

NEWBURGH – If it was going to be anything like the thriller at Bundrant Stadium in Week 1, North-Castle had the makings of being a memorable Class 5A sectional championship game on November 6. The Knights had other ideas. Castle football made its impact early in this one — in all three phases. The scoring began with a punt return touchdown from wide receiver Ben Quach, then a 27-yard touchdown from wide receiver Jaivon Aunspach and a quarterback sneak shortly after for Sawyer Winsett. More: Southwestern Indiana high school football sectional finals updates, scores But the game was determined defensively. A potent Huskies rushing attack, featuring quarterback Jayden Jones and running back Hunter McKinney, was limited in large part by Castle. In the end, the Knights finished the night at John Lidy Field holding a sectional title — the program’s 17 th and coach Doug Hurt’s 10 th . “The defense was stout,” Hurt said. “They were on the field like the whole game which wears a group out. But they were up to the challenge and found a way.” Castle's defense showed up Castle stopped North twice near its own goal line. The first time, stuffing a runner on
