Class of '66 Old Fart

Pleasant surprise that our Hoosiers took game 2 of the weekend series 7-2 and will look for a sweep tomorrow at 1:00. Neubeck started and pitched 6 innings giving up 6 hits, 2 BB and charged with 2 MN runs. Vogel and Yarberry closed it out. We scored 5 in the 5th. Ricketts and Decker hit solo HR and Hanley hit a 3-run HR. We had 9 hits total with Landen Fry the only Hoosier to log more than a single hit.

Hoosiers take game 2 of the series 10-2 in a run-shortened game. Kinda odd in that we scored 10 runs and only had 6 hits. But Alex Cooper had a grand slam, Madalyn Strader a solo shot and Avery Parker a 2-RBI triple. Ella Troutt started and pitched 4 scoreless innings but got in trouble in the 5th and Aubree Hooks came on and closed it out. Collectively they only allowed 5 hits and 1 BB. Go for the series sweep tomorrow at noon.

Lot of internet chatter that Hubert Davis is out at UNC. Reportedly some big $ boosters have said they've lost faith.

Jamie Shaw hyping this young man - D2 fans already know. The D1 world is about to catch on. Antonio Pusateri just hit the Transfer Portal: 16.9 PPG, 11.2 RPG, 22 double-doubles. 30+ D1 programs circling as he sets up calls and visits. https://lcuchaps.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/antonio-pusateri/4928 According to the Lubbock Christian website, he never attempted a single 3 and was a pretty sad 43% FT shooter. Listed at 6'7".

This Vashon team wasn't exactly chopped liver. They won the last 6 state titles and this was Vashon's first loss in the final four since 1999. Vashon was 20-0 with 10 championships when making the final four since 2000.

The IU women are pretty good. They spotted Maryland 4 runs and trailed 4-0 after 4 complete. Scored 4 of our own in the 5th to tie it up. Both teams scored a run in the 6th and then we added 3 in our 7th to win the series opener 8-5. In the 7th, Alex Cooper had a solo HR and Madalyn Strader had a 2-run shot. Hess started and was relieved in the 4th by Mannon who finished the game. They limited the Terps to 6 hits and walked just 2 batters. We only had 7 hits of our own but 3 went the distance. In the 5th, Alli Gavin had a 2-run shot. Saturday's game scheduled to start at 2:00.

Logan-Rogersville defeated Vashon 74-60 and faces Clayton tomorrow at 5:00 ET for the Class 4 state championship. Branham 31p, 9r, 2a.

No idea if there is genuine IU interest or not. Just a '28 so lots of time if there is. Cole Kelly, Neuqua Valley, sophomore, forward: Averaged 20.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.0 block. Made 51% of his shots, including 70 3-pointers, and 81.6% of free throws. Conference player of the year and Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Class 4A all-state first team.

Outstanding!

Missouri Gatorade POY

I'll go out on a limb and say you'll never see him in a PUke uniform for an actual ballgame.

Is there a Cliff's Notes version?

We get past this weekend and we'll start seeing a jump in portal announcements and the menu of available players will start looking more enticing.

Remains to be seen if DDV's interest is still there. Per The Daily Hoosier Garland played for Darian DeVries at Drake in 2023-24. San Jose State guard Colby Garland is entering the transfer portal, he tells @LeagueRDY. The 6-foot-1 guard out of Magnolia, Arkansas was named Third Team All-Mountain West this season. Has also spent time at Longwood and Drake. He averaged 20.3PPG, 4.6APG, 3.3RPG and 1.1SPG this season.

Penn State has hired Chicago Sky asst coach Tanisha Wright as their next head coach. Wright is a Penn State alum and was named 3x Big Ten DPOY, alongside All-American honors.

Whatever makes you happy.
