Rams edge Musketeers, 69-57

0

The Eastern boys basketball team lost two games this weekend, ending with another close game last night to the Paoli Rams, 69-57.

Eastern drops to 1-4 in Mid-Southern Conference play and 2-9 on the season.

The Musketeers battled for much of the first half, but still managed to trail at halftime 30-25.

Ridge Hall gave the Musketeers a spark early in the game, hitting two mid range jump shots to start the game.

Sophomore Sawyer Starrett came in during the second quarter and gave Eastern good energy as well, knocking down two big shots and playing solid defense.

Guards Robert Rodewig and Hayden Woolsey paced the Musketeers in the second half, but Eastern struggled to get defensive stops late in the game and were never able to get over the hump as Paoli won the game by a final score of 67-59.

Paoli guard Ty Lawson lead all scorers with 24 points, while Hayden Woolsey and Robert Rodewig both had 21 for the Musketeers.

Scoring for both teams were:

Eastern –
Ridge Hall – 5
Leif Edlin – 1
Hayden Woolsey – 21
Robert Rodewig – 21
Trevor Lewellen – 5
Sawyer Starrett – 6

Paoli
Smith – 2
Street – 8
Lawson – 24
Vincent – 11
Babcock – 5
Minton – 5
Chastain – 7
Sears – 5

The Musketeers suffered a tough loss to the North Harrison Cougars Friday night, 55-46

The game was a back and forth affair from the start. The Musketeers played with a lot of energy and effort in a game that at times got very physical.

Eastern’s guards Robert Rodewig and Hayden Woolsey both had hot shooting nights, combining for nine 3 pointers in the game. Leif Edlin had his best defensive outing of the year, which helped the Musketeers keep the game close in the second half.

Ultimately the Cougars would hit free throws down the stretch to seal the final victory by a score of 55-46.

Scoring for both teams were:

Eastern
Nick Emmert – 4
Ridge Hall – 2
Hayden Woolsey – 22
Robert Rodewig – 18

Salem Wal-Mart Not Affected By 269-Store Closures

0

Despite Walmart closing 269 stores around the world in a strategic move to focus more on its supercenters and e-commerce business, the largest Walmart in Kentuckiana is still under constuction and still planned for Salem.

Salem Mayor Troy Merry confirmed on Friday that the project was still on and not affected by the closures.

 

In fact, there are no Walmart stores closings in Indiana or Kentucky.

011516-WalmartStoresClosingThe closures include 154 U.S. locations, encompassing Walmart’s entire fleet of 102 “Express” format stores, its smallest locations meant to compete with dollar stores, which have been in pilot testing since 2011.

Some supercenters, Sam’s Club locations and Neighborhood Markets will also close, plus 115 stores in Latin American markets.

The closures were decided based on financial performance and how well the locations fit with Walmart’s broader strategy, says Greg Hitt, a company spokesman.

Walmart has been working aggressively to grow its e-commerce presence and digital services, plus upgrade stores and provide shoppers with a more pleasant experience. In that vein, the company has also been making a big push to increase wages and provide more training to employees, an effort that’s costing more than $1 billion.

The store closures, which represent less than 1% of global revenue from Walmart’s nearly 11,600 stores worldwide, will allow the retailer to step up its digital and in-store initiatives, Hitt says.

In a statement, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said the company is “committed to growing, but we are being disciplined about it.” Walmart plans to open more than 300 stores in the coming fiscal year.

Ground was broken in 2015 on the 151,000 square foot structure.

The Walmart Supercenter will be located on Kimball Drive, off Hackberry Street (State Road 56 East).

The company plans to employee between 300 and 400 people.

Rick Hayes of BRR Architecture said the firm is excited to be in the county and said the new store will be about the length of two football fields and will include an auto center, a garden center and a pharmacy that will have a drive up window.

Customers will enter the store off Kimball Drive and they are hoping to eventually have a traffic light at the intersection of Kimball Drive and Hackberry Street. The Indiana Department of Transportation has also planned a second light to the East at Coral Street.

Randall Hake of Cedarwood Development, a national real estate company, told the standing room only crowd in the city hall council room that construction will begin in late spring 2014, with an open date of fall 2015. That has been delayed to later this year.

The 27 acre site will also leave room for additional retailers, restaurants and financial institutions to build.

 

ALLEN SELECTED TO LEAD HOOSIERS DEFENSE

0
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Tom Allen, a New Castle, Ind., native has been named Indiana’s new defensive coordinator, head coach Kevin Wilson announced Saturday. Allen, a 24-year veteran, held the same position at the University of South Florida in 2015.

South Florida posted an 8-5 record and earned a trip to the Miami Beach Bowl this season. Allen mentored three all-conference selections and the American Athletic Conference’s top scoring defense (19.6 points per game in league play).

”I did not know Tom personally, but was aware of his background and reached out to him when we decided to make a change,” Wilson said. “We made an immediate connection. Tom will bring a ton of energy and strong leadership, and our kids will play hard. This is a positive addition as we continue to take to our program to the next level.”

Brian Knorr will not return for the 2016 season. Knorr led the Hoosiers defense in 2014 and 2015.

“We appreciate the contributions Brian made to IU Football and wish him the best. He is an outstanding coach, a tremendous person, a strong family man and an awesome teammate,” Wilson said. “Looking at where we are at as a program, we determined it is time for new defensive leadership as we move into the 2016 season and continue to build our program.”

Allen is thrilled to return to the Hoosier State, where he served as head coach at Ben Davis High School (2004-06), defensive coordinator at Ben Davis (1998-03) and Marion High School (1997), and earned his master’s degree at IU (2002).

“I am very excited to join Coach Wilson and his staff at Indiana University,” Allen said. “It is rare to have the opportunity to return home to coach and to be close to family. To do that in the Big Ten is even more special. What Coach Wilson is building and the commitment Mr. Glass has made to the program, coaching staff and facilities is impressive. I am very much looking forward to helping this program continue to grow and develop.”

This is Allen’s seventh stop on the collegiate level and his fourth as a defensive coordinator. Over the last 21 years, the teams for which Allen has been a member of the coaching staff have posted a combined record of 216-62 (.777).

In his lone season in Tampa, USF tied for 13th nationally in tackles for loss (7.5 per game), tied for 14th in interceptions (17), tied for 24th in turnovers gained (25), tied for 26th in sacks (2.62), 31st in rushing defense (141.4), 34th in passing efficiency defense (118.76) and 35th in scoring defense (22.9).

Allen spent the 2012-14 campaigns as linebackers coach and special teams coordinator under head coach Hugh Freeze at Ole Miss. He coached All-SEC linebackers Serderius Bryant and Denzel Nkemdiche. The Rebels closed out 2014 with a 9-3 record and ranked No. 9 after they met No. 6 TCU in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. Ole Miss spent nine weeks in the AP top 10 with a high-water mark of No. 3.

In 2014, the Rebels led the nation in scoring defense (13.8) and allowed a national low 18 touchdowns. They topped the SEC in five categories and ranked in the top 20 nationally in 11, including 10th in red zone defense, 11th in tackles for loss (7.5), 12th in turnovers gained (28), 13th in total defense (321.2) and 13th in defensive touchdowns scored (4).

Allen worked with defensive coordinator Dave Wommack to help guide a huge improvement in the Rebels defense, which ranked last in the SEC in total defense before their arrival in 2011. Under their stewardship Ole Miss consistently ranked among the top teams in the SEC and nationally in tackles for loss and sacks. Nkemdiche earned Freshman All-America honors and second team AP All-SEC after leading the Rebels in tackles (82), TFLs (13.0), forced fumbles (4) and interceptions (3) in 2012.

As assistant head coach at Arkansas State (2011) under Freeze, the Red Wolves led the Sun Belt Conference and ranked in the top 25 nationally in total defense (331.46) and scoring defense (20.77). ASU also finished eighth nationally in tackles for loss (7.62) and 15th in sacks (2.69). Arkansas State went 10-2 overall and 8-0 in the Sun Belt. Allen coached first team all-conference selection Demario Davis and second team pick Nathan Herrold. Davis was selected in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft by the New York Jets.

Prior to ASU, Allen served as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Drake University (2010). The Bulldogs allowed just 330 yards per game while ranking No. 6 nationally in the FCS in rush defense (94.2), No. 8 in sacks (33), No. 17 in tackles for loss (81) and No. 25 in scoring defense (20.4). Allen oversaw seven All-Pioneer Football League (PFL) players, one All-America selection and the PFL Defensive Player of the Year.

At NAIA Lambuth University (2008-09), Allen was the assistant head coach, defensive coordinator and linebackers coach, and he was a part of two Mid-South Conference championships and the school’s first undefeated regular season (11-0) in 2009. That defense ranked No. 4 nationally in scoring defense, No. 7 in pass defense and sacks, No. 9 in total defense and No. 12 in third down conversions. He tutored eight first team all-conference players, one NAIA All-America selection and a Mid-South Conference Freshman of the Year.

Allen’s first collegiate coaching stop was at Wabash College, where as secondary coach and special teams coordinator the team won the NCAC championship and advanced to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division II playoffs. Three defensive backs were named to the All-NCAC team.

Prior to Marion H.S., Allen was defensive coordinator at Armwood High School (1995-96) and head coach at Temple Heights High School (1992-94) in Florida.

Allen earned his bachelor’s degree from Maranatha Baptist College (Wisconsin) in 1992. Tom and his wife, Tracy, have three children, Hannah, Thomas and Brittney.

IU wins 10th straight; moves to 5-0 in Big Ten

0

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – It’s safe to say Nick Zeisloft found his shooting stroke.

The senior guard made five consecutive 3-pointers, including four in a row over 134 seconds in the opening half of Indiana’s 70-63 win against Minnesota Saturday afternoon. It was a sudden return to form for Zeisloft, who had started Big Ten play connecting on just 5-of-29 attempts from long range.

And it was exactly what Indiana needed to avoid an upset.

Zeisloft heated up right after Minnesota (6-12, 0-6) pulled away to a nine-point lead midway through the first half and pulled Indiana (15-3, 5-0) within one point by the end of his personal 12-4 run against the Gophers.

He hit from long range again in the second half to give Indiana a 46-44 lead with 13:35 left, an advantage the Hoosiers would hold onto the remainder of the game.

The Golden Gophers had the better of the Hoosiers early on, taking away layups and offense off the kick and drive throughout the majority of the first half. As the game went along, lanes began to open more frequently and Indiana took advantage.

Senior guard Yogi Ferrell led IU with 20 points on 6-of-17 shooting. He finished with seven assists, surpassing Quinn Buckner for second all-time in career assists. Zeisloft finished with 15 points, all off 3-pointers.
