Happening now, a prayer vigil in Boonville, to celebrate the life & memories of 17-year old Ashton Pryor, who died in a car accident Friday.

ACES WIN!!!! ACES WIN!!! 6-5 over East Carolina!!!!!!!
The Evansville Aces, yes the Evansville Aces baseball program, is the NCAA Greenville regional CHAMPIONS!!!
Aces punch their FIRST-EVER ticket to the SUPER REGIONAL round!!
Mater Dei grad Emily Goodwin has been a key pitcher for the Hoosiers too...
Working out of the pen, she’s 3-0 in 5 appearances, with 1 save. In her 12 innings pitched, she has 17 strikeouts, and opponents are hitting a mere .167 against her....oh and her ERA is 0.00!
The
#IUSoftball
pitching staff has been 🔑 to Indiana's 14-0 start. The staff ranks top-10 nationally in:
Team ERA (1.07) - 6th place
Strikeout-to-walk ratio (4.91) - 10th place
In addition, Tara Trainer's 9 victories are tied for the most in the nation.
Jackie Young is a national champion!! Notre Dame wins a wild one, 61-58, over Mississippi State. Young has now won a high school state championship at Princeton AND an NCAA national championship with the Irish! Not many athletes can say that....
They did it!! USI shuts down Grand Valley down 1, 2, 3 in the bottom of the 7th. & the Eagles punch their ticket to the NCAA SOFTBALL D2 championships in Denver!!!
USI wins it 3-2 over Grand Valley State, to win the super regional!
Amazing 3-run rally in the 7th, being down 2-0!
Here’s some of the Boonville coaches & staff getting their blue championship medals🥇including first-year Head coach Kalyn Chapman (center)! Gotta love the reaction here! 😁
The Queen of Princeton, Jackie Young, named ACC tournament MVP, after helping Notre Dame win the ACC Tournament and punch its automatic bid, to the NCAA Tournament!
BREAKING: Former Evansville Aces Head basketball Coach Marty Simmons has accepted a job, as an assistant, with the Clemson basketball program, under Tigers head coach (and Evansville native) Brad Brownell!
I would be remiss if I didn’t give a big shout out to Castle’s Alex Hemenway. He had 32 points in the Knights loss. He was a class-act to cover the last few years, an incredible talent, and it will be fun to watch him at Clemson the next 4 years!
Here’s another insane catch by the Aces’ Ty Rumsey not long ago!!
Went back on it first, then rushed in to make the diving grab!
The North grad has been EVERYWHERE in the outfield this weekend!
Good morning Ace Country!!!

And now we can say it: old high school rivals Tyra Buss & Jackie Young both have helped lead their teams to championships this weekend....amazing! Everyone knew they would both be special in college & they did not disappoint....and Young still has 2 more years at ND, so....
All season long, USI Softball has called this their D2 “farewell tour” and well, their last tour stop is going to be on the grandest stage of all, the 8-team national championship in Denver!
Here’s more celebratory photos from today’s super regional championship win!
If USI can win this, Alex Stein is gonna have a great chance to become the program’s all-time leading scorer. He only needed 50 points coming into this game to break it. He has 26 tonight so far, so he’s moved into 2nd. That’s the last thing on his mind though right now.
Heritage Hills grad, Abby Wahl, is having a solid freshman campaign, at Eastern Illinois. She's played in all 27 games, starting 13, averaging 18 minutes a game. She's averaging 6.3 points per game, shooting 49% from the field. She's also second on the team in rebounds (97)!
Many of us have seen Owensboro Catholic’s Brady Atwell quarterbacking prowess in the Tri-State, as he’s sliced & diced teams the last 3 years, but for those around the state that had never seen him play, they got to see quite the show today! One more year to look forward to too!
Bosse officially introduces its new head football coach today: it’s DaMarcus Ganaway!
@D_Marc11
He comes from Ohio County, where he coached for the last 3 seasons. He played at Kentucky Wesleyan and was with the Jets for a year too!
Wow! Oakland City pulls the "mighty" upset, beating USI, 2-0, in men's college soccer tonight!
Oaks added a late 2nd half goal by Francisco Sousa, to ice it.

Oh my goodness!!! Madison Hill saves the day for Boonville!!
She makes a diving, shoestring catch to keep Guerin off the board!!
The ball nearly fell in for an RBI hit, but Hill got her glove under it JUST in time!
Score remains 0-0, mid-6th
OFFICIAL:

They’re from the main stands to the outfield fence!
@BHSAthletics
Here’s the Greenville regional all tournament team!
Kip Fougerousse gets a well-earned MVP nod!
Mark Shallenberger, Kenton Deverman, and Simon Scherry on all-tourney team too!
And I’m putting Ty Rumsey on it even if he’s not, because he’s the freakin’ man in center field!!
Castle grad Jack Nunge stuffed the stat sheet in Xavier's 71-65 win over Ohio State, tonight!

It’s national signing day for college football!

Evansville is headed to Knoxville.
The Purple Aces have created an unlikely matchup on Rocky Top.
-No Chase Burns/Wake Forest reunion.
-No national seed ECU.
Instead, a David and Goliath showdown, where the Aces look to join an exclusive club in college baseball history.
Congrats to Castle HS grad, Vince Lidy, head coach of Mt. Vernon Fortville, who just won the
@IHSAA1
class 4A state title 45-14 over Northridge!
Lidy also won a state championship as a player with the Knights back in 1994!
You’ll still see Tamar, off and on, for a couple more weeks on air here, but yes, she’s movin’ on up and getting to go home in the process, and we’re all extremely happy for her!
She will do a great job in St. Louis!
It’s the spring football showcase at Kentucky Wesleyan today! The culmination of a month’s-worth of hard work for the Panthers’ program! Recent KWC signee Ev. Central’s Brennon Harper (in street clothes) among those in attendance...he’ll be a Panther freshman this fall!
He did it!!! Memorial’s Ray Brodie BLAZED a trail to a state title!
Brodie won the 100-meter dash in a time of 10.57 seconds! 💨 💨
Won by almost 2 tenths of a second, to take home the first place state medal!!
@Raybrodie01
@MemAthletics
Rayzel Joiner intercepts the inbounds pass, intended for Hemenway! Then he nails two clutch free throws to ice it! Ev. Central pulls the upset, winning 64-62 over Castle!! What a comeback for the Bears! The Bears’ football postseason magic carries over onto the hardwood!
Good lord... Chatard throwing with 1:15 left in the game up 28-3! C’mon...really??? No-class move there...
They score on a TD pass... it’s now 34-3; however, Phoenix Rodgers blasts thru and blocks the PAT so that was pretty sweet
Boonville grad Devin Mockobee did it again yesterday! His 4th straight game with a touchdown!
All told, he had 13 carries for 26 yards and that TD, and also had 3 catches for 30 yards, in Purdue's win!

JUST IN: I just spoke with USI catcher, Logan Brown, and he will indeed forego his senior season of eligibility, turn pro, and report to the

Boonville’s Peyton Pryor commits to continue her education and softball career at USI!
Great get for the Eagles and always cool to see the local kids stay in the Tri-State!
For those who don’t know, U-Indy has a couple Memorial grads on its coaching staff: Brandon Auker and Fahkara Malone are both assistants! Auker (red hair) is sitting on the left end of the bench. Malone next to him on the right.
Well, Boonville Softball’s state win had everything: clutch, highlight reel defensive plays, great clutch pitches at just the right moments, & then at the end, the offense came through with the thrilling walk-off win!
Throw in the 2 1/2 hour start-delay, and whew what a night!!
Fans and students rushed the field after the game, as Heritage Hills received its semistate trophy, after its 33-17 victory over Danville... This will be the third time the Patriots are going to state...won it all in 2000 and lost in 2004.
That’s it!! Gibson Southern holds Lawrenceburg on downs at midfield and they win the

WHAT! A!! RALLY!!!
USI rises from the dead! 2 outs nobody on and down 2-0, they score 3 runs to take a 3-2 lead over Grand Valley State!!!
Eagles got a huge 2-RBI hit by Kennedy Nalley that was nearly caught, but trapped.
Then, Katie Back singled in Nalley for the lead!!
Today’s D2 National championship attendance is 4,269! That brings the TOTAL 3-day attendance number to 18,870! Per NCAA officials, It’s the largest total in the elite 8 era since 1989, and the largest single site total since 1971. Good job
#Evansville

Not sure how they didn't, but somehow Kentucky Wesleyan women's basketball, DID NOT receive an at-large bid to the NCAA D2 Tournament. A fantastic 28-3 record, made it to the GMAC tourney championship game, yet still didn't get in... shocker...
