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

Senior seldomly comes off field for Bloomington South football

BLOOMINGTON — Jonathan Winstead got a late break on the football season. Luckily for Bloomington South, the senior gets up to speed rather quickly. The excuse was a good one, as Winstead patrolled center field for the Panthers' state runner-up baseball team, which finished its season at Victory Field on June 20. He had to wash the bad taste of that loss out of his mouth, then got to work earning his spot on offense as a returning wide receiver. But instead of backing up the quarterback position again, head coach Gabe Johnson decided one of his best ballhawks could help out on the defensive side as well. His speed also worked well as a return man on punts. "I love it. I don't want to be off the field," Winstead said. "I would play every single play if I could. But the thing is, we've got depth and we've got other guys who deserve to be out here. They work hard for their reps, too. "So it's nice to have that depth so I can take step back and know that Kevin (Reeves) at cornerback has my back and when I'm on offense, Mayson (Lewis) is at X and

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
