Indiana has lost a truly great supporter of high school basketball, Earl Mishler has passed away. A long time sportswriter at the South Bend Tribune, LaPorte Herald Argus, the Elkhart Truth, and the Knox Leader, his biggest achievement.. the ETPearl website. ETPearl was a statistical wonder and a celebration of high school basketball long before John Harrell came on the scene. He was a great guy and an even greater friend

Here's the part that gets me..

"Despite the incident, the Central Lady Braves played the following day against Millwood and won ... making them the Regional Consolation Champs."

Sounds like Indiana schools (not so much sports, but classrooms) in that regard. Lesson learned -> No big deal. When are we going to start dropping the hammer again, and make kids understand there are some things that are simply not permissible without real consequences?? Drives me crazy.

Fifteen seniors and 15 underclass girls' basketball players have earned IBCA/Franciscan Health "Supreme 15" All-State honors for 2022-23, it was announced Tuesday (Feb. 28).
The IBCA also named Large School All-State teams (15 seniors, 15 underclass) and Small School All-State teams (15 seniors, 15 underclass).

The "Supreme 15" is the top honor awarded, and players were voted to that group without regard to school size. The Large School and Small School all-state teams are secondary accolades -- the Large School group including players from Class 3A and Class 4A schools and the Small School group including players from Class A and Class 2A schools. Players who make the Supreme 15 are not considered for Large School or Small School honors.

In addition, 90 more seniors and 90 more underclass players were selected honorable mention all-state. The honorable mention laurels are awarded without regard to school size.

Those voted to the 2023 IBCA/Franciscan Health Supreme 15 Senior girls' team are, listed alphabetically: Asiah Baxter, Warren Central; Ashlynn Brooke, Pioneer; Cristen Carter, Ben Davis; Asia Donald, Hobart; Nevaeh Foster, Mishawaka Marian; Laila Hull, Zionsville; RaShunda Jones, South Bend Washington; McKenna Layden, Northwestern; Riley Makalusky, Hamilton Southeastern; Karsyn Norman, Bedford North Lawrence; Amiyah Reynolds, South Bend Washington; Hailey Smith, Fishers; Saige Stahl, Columbus East; Josie Trabel, East Central; and Amber Tretter, Forest Park.

Those voted to the 2023 IBCA/Franciscan Health Supreme 15 Underclass girls' team are, listed alphabetically: Lillian Barnes, Valparaiso; Addison Baxter, Columbia City; Kennedy Fuelling, Norwell; Avery Gordon, Brownsburg; Jaylah Lampley, Lawrence Central; Lola Lampley, Lawrence Central; Maya Makalusky, Hamilton Southeastern; Ellery Minch, Mt.

The IBCA/Franciscan Health All-State teams are selected through a process organized by the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association and presented by Franciscan Health Sports Medicine.

All IBCA-member head coaches have the opportunity to nominate players. A panel of 20 IBCA coaches -- 16 from the current regional areas, three district representatives (one each from IHSAA Districts 1, 2 and 3) and the committee chairman -- then meet to review the nominations, vote and finalize the selections.

Those on the IBCA all-state committee for 2023 included chairman Doug Springer of Northridge plus Brandon Bradley of Kankakee Valley from District 1, DeeAnn Ramey of North Central from District 2 and Kevin Moore of East Central from District 3.

Completing the voting panel were Kristi Ulrich of Penn, Andy Maguire of Zionsville, Curt Benge of Plainfield and Tyler Choate of Evansville North in Class 4A; Steve Scott of Mishawaka Marian, Eric Thornton of Norwell, Kaley May of Danville and Michelle Harter of Connersville in Class 3A; Tony Scheub of Andrean, Justin Jordan of Whitko, Doug Greenlee of Greencastle and Tony Hasenour of Forest Park in Class 2A; and Rick Budka of Morgan Township, Sarah Black of Union City, Amy Macy of Edinburgh and Mike Lang of Trinity Lutheran in Class A.

Franciscan Health Sports Medicine is making a financial contribution to the IBCA Scholarship Fund as the presenting partner of the IBCA all-state teams. As part of the partnership, Franciscan Health Sports Medicine will provide plaques to Supreme 15 honorees and certificates to players receiving Large School All-State, Small School All-State or Honorable Mention All-State recognition. Those items will be made available to each recipient's coach during April, allowing her coach to present the award to each player prior to the end of the 2022-23 academic year.

The IBCA thanks Franciscan Health Sports Medicine for being a partner in this annual project.

The complete 2023 IBCA/Franciscan Health Senior All-State and 2023 IBCA/Franciscan Health Underclass All-State teams for girls basketball are listed below.

Frankton girls - Departing Coach Stephan Hamaker
FRANKTON, Ind. -- (Updated 2/28) The Anderson Herald-Bulletin is reporting Coach Hamaker has resigned after twelve seasons and two State Finals appearances with the Eagles. Coach has won more than 200 games during his tenure with the Eagles, and last year saw similar success finishing 18-7. Varsity Club report indicates that four seniors and the core of leadership does graduate in May, However, leading scorer and rebounder in 6-0 sr-2-b post Emma Perry and classmate and second reading scorer/PG Amaya Collins are both expected to return. Report continues that there is a pretty athletic, if unproven, group of jrs-2-b that will likely fill out most varsity minutes around the two sr-2-b returners. Competitive groups on the way as well. Report states JV very solid, 8th grade a winner, and 7th with a couple that will likely play varsity. No teaching jobs yet available, and report indicates an April target for a hire. One email insists smart money is inside hire (Possible JV Coach Jeff Bates.) However, outside apps will be accepted.

Was reading a article about a pioneer era recipe for something termed Indiana Sauce. Recipe below dated 1840. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing or even tried it?

INDIANA SAUCE:
4 tbsp. fresh-scraped horseradish
2 tbsp. dried mustard
2 tbsp. salt
2 tsp. celery seed
2 onions, minced
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
2 c. vinegar

Store in jar. Let stand for a week, then pass through a sieve and bottle securely.

CORYDON, Ind. -- Thanks to an update, Corydon Central High School has a new leading scorer Ava Weber finished her season with 1849 points - now listed with top honors for the Panthers. The previous career leading scorer for Corydon was Lynne Johnson with graduating in 2000..

Madison-Grant girls - Departing Coach Jace Martin
FAIRMOUNT, Ind. -- (Updated 2/23) Bit of a surprise on this one as M-G showed up as open on the IDOE. Coach Martin has been with the Argylls for just one season, going 10-13. Good Varsity Clubber reports that this year it was pretty much score by committee. From this batch, only one senior departs, and while not a big scorer, she did handle much of the ball handling. Still there is optimism to improve last year’s ten wins. Coach played a lot of people a lot of minutes, and those growing pains will likely pay benefits for the future coach. Offense is a chore for this group according to email. Varsity Club member indicates leading scorer is due to return, but brings just 10ppg with her. No one else is sniffing double digits. 6-1 soph-2-b role player is only height to speak of. JV described as awful. Both 7th and 8th grade posted records south of .500 last season. HS Business is about it right now, but more are expected.

Drew Eubank has resigned effective immediately as Westville boys basketball coach, per an athletics department release. Ken Pepper will coach in the sectional.

Wes-Del girls - Departing Coach Ed Geesaman
GASTON, Ind. -- (Updated 2/27) It’s now official that Coach Geesaman will not be back after five years leading the Warriors. It’s been an uphill battle for Wes-Del talentwise. Last year’s 4-19 squad was no exception. The offensively-challenged Warriors could muster just over 20ppg, and a good Varsity Club member reports next year will likely contain similar struggles. Wes-Del only loses three seniors, but that trio made up the three leading scorers. Not a ton there, but the remaining varsity players are expected to return less than 5ppg - total. Conversely the returning roster combined for nearly 20 turnovers a contest. To top it off, only one girl in the entire program is currently listed above 5-7 - a 5-8 jr-2-b guard. One Varsity Clubber reports there are some pretty decent female athletes in the building, but they specialize in volleyball right now. Pipeline of feeder teams looks very similar to HS. Have to look way down the line to find a winner. Last season's 6th grade described as pretty decent. Zero teaching positions available at this time.

South Vermillion girls - Departing Coach Matt Payne
CLINTON, Ind. -- (Updated 2/21) Good Varsity Club member reports Coach, Matt Payne, has resigned (Approved by school board last night 2/20). The team finished 0-24 this past season and will graduate their leading scorers from a TEAM that averaged 17ppg. Total rebuild in store as the JV did not win a game and nothing coming from the middle school. There is currently not a feeder program in place and a school board that reportedly likes to micro manage the coaches. Current job openings only include Alternative Ed, HS Biology, but likely more later this spring. Varsity CLubber points out though that South Vermillion is closing down one of its elementary schools (Ernie Pyle) at the end of the school year and moving their 5th grade into the middle school (Also approved at last night’s school board meeting 2/20). Tough rebuild and job for sure.

State championship coach Kristi Ulrich of Penn has been named head coach for the 2023 Indiana girls' All-Stars, games director Mike Broughton announced Thursday (Feb. 15).

Ulrich will be assisted by Triton Central coach Bryan Graham and Garrett coach Bob Lapadot.

Players chosen to the 2023 girls' All-Stars will play three games in June -- one exhibition game against the Indiana Junior All-Stars as well as home-and-home contests against the Kentucky All-Stars.

Ulrich has compiled a 312-50 record in 14 seasons at Penn, including a Class 4A state championship in 2016 and a 16-7 mark in her team's recently completed season. Her tenure with the Kingsmen includes 11 sectional trophies, six regional titles, three semi-state crowns and state runner-up finishes in 2011 and 2014. Her teams also have captured 10 Northern Indiana Conference crowns.

A 1999 graduate of Mishawaka, Ulrich played basketball at Bethel College in Mishawaka and helped the Pilots to Christian College national championships in 2000 and 2003.

Ulrich served as a girls’ basketball assistant coach for four seasons at Mishawaka and two years at Penn before being named the Penn head coach in the spring of 2009. Ulrich was an IBCA District 1 Coach of the Year in 2014 and served as the 2014 head coach of the 2014 girls' Junior All-Stars.

Graham has posted a 299-65 record with eight sectional titles and two regional crowns in 15 seasons as coach at Triton Central. His Tigers -- 18-5 in 2022-23 -- also have won 12 Shelby County Tournament championships and 11 conference titles (two Mid-Hoosier Conference; nine Indiana Crossroads Conference). He also coached in the 2017 Hoosiers Reunion All-Star Classic.

Prior to leading the Triton Central girls, Graham coached one year of fifth-grade boys' basketball, two years of JV baseball, 10 years of middle school football and nine years of JV boys' basketball. He also was the Triton Central varsity girls' soccer coach for four years, was an athletic department assistant for about eight years and has been the Tigers' athletic director for the since 2015.

Graham is a 1995 graduate of Franklin Central High School, where he played basketball for the Flashes and coach Mark James. He went on to Indiana University, earning a bachelor's degree in 1999. He later earned a master's degree in curriculum, instruction and assessment from Walden University in 2010. He is in his 24th year as a teacher, coach and administrator at Triton Central.

Lapadot is 193-91 in 12 years as the Garrett coach, including a 14-12 ledger with a sectional title in recently completed season. His Railroaders have won three sectionals, one regional, four conference titles (two Allen County Athletic Conference, two Northeast Corner Conference) and posted an undefeated regular season at 20-0 in 2013-14. He was the KPC Media Coach of the Year in 2014 and 2021, an IBCA District 1 Coach of the Year in 2022 and served as head coach of the 2022 girls' Junior All-Stars.

A 1993 graduate of Garrett, Lapadot was a 10-sport letterman in football, basketball and baseball. He excelled in baseball, twice being named team MVP, four times all-conference and all-area. As a senior, he was selected area Player of the Year and chosen for the Indiana All-Stars Home Run Derby.

He matriculated to IPFW, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in 1998. While in college, he returned to Garrett as a girls’ basketball assistant coach and just completed his 28th season in the program. He served as the Railroaders’ varsity assistant for 16 seasons before becoming the head coach in 2011-12. Lapadot also was the Railroaders’ head track coach for eight years, advancing athletes to the State Finals in five of those seasons. He currently is in his 22nd year of teaching eighth-grade social studies at Garrett Middle School.

The Junior-Senior exhibition game is set for June 7 at a site to be announced. The first game against Kentucky will be June 9 at the Owensboro Sportscenter in Owensboro, Ky. The final game against Kentucky will be June 10 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. All three dates will be doubleheaders with the IndyStar Indiana boys' All-Stars.

Rosters for the 2023 Indiana girls' All-Stars, boys' All-Stars, girls' Junior All-Stars and boys' Junior All-Stars will be announced later.

The Indiana Junior All-Stars will play two girl-boy doubleheaders this year -- June 4 against the Kentucky Junior All-Stars at Jeffersonville and June 7 against the Indiana seniors at a site to be announced.

New to the 2023 All-Star program is a Futures Games doubleheader, both on June 10 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. These games, for girls at noon and boys at 2:00 p.m., each will feature two Indiana teams in a North-South format. Rosters for the girls' Futures Game were announced separately today. Rosters for the boys' Futures Game will be announced later.

The Indiana All-Stars program was founded in 1939 when the Indiana boys' All-Stars played the state champion Frankfort Hot Dogs. The series with Kentucky began in 1940, and the girls' portion of the All-Stars was added in 1976. The Junior All-Stars, boys and girls, were added in 1996. The All-Star senior girls have played Kentucky every year since 1976, except 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The All-Star senior boys have played Kentucky in all but three years since 1940 -- 1943 (World War II), 1944 (World War II) and 2020 (COVID-19 pandemic).

The Indiana Senior girls lead 52-40 in their series with Kentucky. The Indiana Senior girls lead 41-10 in games against the Indiana Junior girls. The Indiana Junior girls lead 10-1 in their series with Kentucky. The Indiana Senior boys lead 103-44 in their series with Kentucky. The Indiana Senior boys lead 41-10 in games against the Indiana Junior boys. The Indiana Junior boys lead 7-4 in their series with Kentucky.

South Central girls - Departing Coach Lynn Thomas
ELIZABETH, Ind. -- (Updated 2/21) Varsity Clubber indicates new coach most likely will be Rachel Conder, former South Central standout and Junior College All-American. Has been coaching the Middle School for a few years and has a daughter who is an incoming freshman.
