The Posey County News - January 4 2011

By Pam RobinsonMount Vernon native Jeanna (Reeder) Crossen

knows the value of a promise. Her dad wanted to be a professional photographer all his life like his father before him, but ill health prevented him. When he was dying, Jeanna promised him she would fi nish what his father started. Within a couple of weeks in April 2009, Crossen had opened Third Generation Photography in honor

of her late grandfather Elmer Horrace Reeder and her late father Wiley Wallace Reeder.

A self-taught photographer, Crossen special-izes in portraits and wedding photography. Since she started her business in New Harmony, she’s photographed over 200 families. This past Octo-ber, she relocated her studio to Mount Vernon, converting her two-car garage into a photogra-pher’s paradise.

In addition to studio shots, Crossen enjoys outdoor photography at various special locations in New Harmony, Mount Vernon and Evansville. Her website, www.thirdgenphoto.com, reveals her love of the natural world.

She’s earned recognition as the offi cial pho-tographer for the Jerusalem Ridge Bluegrass Festival. The designation pleases the bluegrass music fan and her husband Brian, a native West Virginian, who hosts a bluegrass jam in their home every year at Christmas. He’s impressed she’s rubbed elbows with the likes of Ralph Stanley, Larry Sparks and David Davis.

“I specialize in emotional shots to tell a story,” Crossen states. About her wedding photos, for example, she says, “My assistant and I capture memories, not just pictures. Our goal is to re-mind the bride and groom of all the fun, love and happiness that was shared at their wedding through our work, so they can cherish it for years to come.”

Crossen hears often from clients, “You al-lowed me to be myself, and you captured that.” Crossen lives by the “genius” theory that “pho-togenic is just a word.” She insists, “I can’t stand the word photogenic. It’s just a word. You have to have the right photographer to bring the real

person out and capture that.” Some of her greatest inspiration comes from

her own struggle with Tourette’s syndrome. Many will remember her as the only girl who ever played sixth and seventh grade football at Mount Vernon Junior High School. It was her way to “tackle Tourette’s.”

Crossen comments, “I want to inspire people to do something and not let disabilities hold them back. Life’s too short. If you want to do something, do it. Don’t let anything hold you back. I’ve had Tourette’s since I was about 8 years old. It’s been a struggle at times, but all in all, I didn’t let it stop me from doing anything I wanted to do.”

Her determination and enthusiasm are great qualities to pass down to her four sons: Zac (2), Brady (11), Tyler (12) and Alex (15).

Crossen’s studio is located at 733 Walnut in Mount Vernon, at the corner of Eighth and Wal-nut streets. Her studio sitting fee is $35 and out-door fee is $45. Packages start at $45.

The Christmas special just ended. Crossen borrowed puppies from Posey Humane Soci-ety to pose with families donating a percentage of her profi ts to the humane society. For those who missed this opportunity, Crossen will run an Easter special in April with live baby bunnies and baby ducks.

Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. Saturdays are reserved for wedding pho-tography. The studio is also open every other Sunday. For more information, visit Crossen’s website at www.thirdgenphoto.com, email her at [email protected], or call her at 812-449-5510.

By Pam RobinsonThe Town of New Harmony started celebrat-

ing the New Year on Thursday, December 30, when the Indiana Offi ce of Community and Rural Affairs, or OCRA, offi cially announced the $500,000 grant award for the building of the new fi re and emergency medical services station. The new 6,560-square-foot steel frame structure will be located 1/8 mile east of New Harmonie Healthcare at the old fairgrounds and is scheduled to be completed by November this year.

The grant application was the second New Harmo-ny had submitted to OCRA for funding of the fi re and emergency medical services station. Town President David Campbell credits community-wide efforts with the project’s success.

“We were properly prepared when we submitted the fi rst application,” Campbell stated. “There were just some technical issues that had to be addressed. The [Town] Board, [Fire Chief] Scott Miller and [Assis-tant Fire Chief] Larry Robb, the fi re department and EMS went about and addressed these issues to bring about this positive resolution. There were a lot of let-ters of support from the community and just a lot of positive response.”

Councilman Don Gibbs stressed, “I think it was the positive outlook of the community that made all the difference.”

Cargill Grain Company has announced that it is making a major upgrade to its Mount Vernon, Ind., grain facility in order to keep up with an increase in customer demand.

Cargill is an international company that pro-duces and markets food, agricultural, fi nancial and industrial products and services. Its Mount Vernon facility purchases grain — mostly corn, soybeans and wheat — from farmers, then ships that grain to customers.

The upgrade will add four new grain storage bins, giving Mount Vernon an extra 3.4 million bushels of storage capacity. It will also add an-

other truck receiving pit, as well as automated control systems that can monitor the tempera-ture of grains in storage.

“We’re excited. This is a great opportunity and a great investment,” said Jonathan Lo-pez, general manager for Cargill’s operations in Mount Vernon; Evansville; Princeton, Ind.; Vincennes, Ind.; and McLeansboro, Ill.

The project represents a multimillion-dollar investment for Cargill, Lopez said, but he de-clined to be more specifi c about costs.

Lopez said Cargill is seeing an increase in both the number of farmers who sell to Cargill

and the number of customers who buy grain from the company for use in biofuel and as food for people and animals.

Construction is set to begin in January, and the work should be complete in November 2011. Cargill said it expects to hire 75 local contract workers for the construction.

Currently, 20 people work at Cargill’s Mount Vernon facility. Lopez said it remains to be seen whether the company will add extra work-ers once the expansion is complete.

“We’ll continue to monitor that and make those investments as we need to.”

Buchanan are excited to of-fer the Curves Circuit with Zumba® workout at their Mount Vernon Curves loca-tion at 230 College Avenue. Beginning today, women may mix in the high-energy Latin-inspired dance-fi tness moves of the Zumba® pro-gram with a 30-minute total body workout provided by the machines on the Curves circuit. Participants alter-nate in one-minute intervals between the strength train-ing machines and Zumba® moves.

The Zumba® sessions are offered twice every Tuesday through Thursday. Right now, the schedule calls for Zumba® from 5:30-6 p.m. and 6-6:30 p.m. on Tues-days; from 7:30-8 a.m. and 8-8:30 a.m. on Wednesdays; and from noon to 12:30 p.m. and 12:30-1 p.m. on Thurs-days. Barker and Buchanan note, however, the times may vary according to inter-est once Curves members get started with the sessions. The sessions are open to Curve members only and cost $2 each.

Only licensed Zumba® instructors who have com-pleted additional training for “Zumba® in the Circuit” are eligible to teach the classes at Curves. “These Zumba® sessions are not high impact aerobics like actual Zumba® classes,” Buchanan emphasizes.

Zumba® provides bene-fi ts for muscular endurance. Curves members are enjoy-ing the dance-fi tness moves so much that the pilot pro-gram in Texas now boasts a 94 percent participation

rate. Barker and Buchanan want to offer the same fun to members at their location.

Still, Buchanan assures members, “Curves will still be Curves and will keep the traditional circuit just the same as usual.”

The Mount Vernon Curves draws members from high school and college age and beyond. Their oldest mem-ber is 85 years old. “I’d match her against anyone,” Buchanan insists. “I can’t keep up with her myself.”

Curves is open Monday through Thursday from 6:30 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. and on Fri-day from 6:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. In appreciation of the Mount Vernon community, Barker and Buchanan are running a New Year’s spe-cial. New members may join for half price ($49.50), and then sign a 12-month contract for only $34/month. For more informa-tion, please call Katie Bu-chanan or Cindy Barker at 812-838-0999.

Thousands of children re-ceived computers, cell phones or mobile devices for Christ-mas this year. Just as we would instruct and advise our children concerning any item that was potentially danger-ous such as a BB gun or a car, we should be educating our children to the dangers inher-ent in devises that allow us to access the Internet.

For all of the advan-tages that come with on-line communication, we all need to know the dangers that exist and have some ground rules for staying away from them.

As the technology changes and expands, it is hard to keep up with what is available. If you feel over-whelmed, try www.onguar-donline.gov. It helps parents help their children be respon-sible Internet users. Beyond that it give practical tips from the federal government and the technology community to help people guard against Internet fraud, secure their computers and protect their privacy.

But if you still like getting your information in book form, stop by the library and pick up “Chatting with

Kids about Being Online.” It is full of information in an easy to read format. Published by www.onguardonline.gov, it is a great tool for parents, grandparents and interested adults to help kids be safe and successful in cyberspace.

How technologically savvy are you? Take quiz.

What is social mapping?Many new cell phones

have GPS. Kids can pinpoint where their friends are and can be pinpointed.

What is sexting? Sexting is sending sexually

explicit messages or images from a mobile phone.

What is P2P fi le sharing?Peer to peer fi le sharing is a

way to share music, games or software online. Kids love it. But unless it is done correctly, people runs the risk of allow-ing easy access to all of their personal fi les.

Carol Schmidt, chair of the Grants and Distribution Committee of the Posey County Community Foun-dation (PCCF), a fund of the Community Foundation Alliance in Evansville, an-nounced that the Foundation is accepting applications for grants to community or-ganizations. Proposals are sought for charitable proj-ects and activities that ad-dress needs and opportuni-ties in the county in health, human services, arts and culture, education, commu-nity development, and other areas that would improve Posey County.

Due to the prolonged down investment market, distributions and grants will be limited during the 2011 year. The maximum amount for funding will be limited to $3,500 per program or

project. Even though the available to grant money is reduced this fi scal year, the Foundation would like to support organizations when they need it the most. Dur-ing these extraordinary eco-nomic times, the Foundation is committed to creating positive impact and partner-ing with other nonprofi ts to improve our community.

Only those agencies or organizations which are tax exempt under 501(c)(3) and 509(a) are eligible to apply for the over $34,000 avail-able for granting. Proposals must be postmarked and sup-porting documents delivered to the PCCF offi ce in the Old National Bank Building at 402 Main Street in Mt. Ver-non by 4:00 p.m. on March 1, 2011. Grant applications may be obtained by logging on to the Foundation website

at www.poseycommunity-foundation.org.

The Foundation’s grants committee will host two grant program orientations to answer questions about how to submit the best pos-sible proposal, as well as to offer general grant-writing advice. The session, con-ducted by Julie Eickhoff, Foundation Director for the Foundation, will be held from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. on January 11 at the Alexan-drian Public Library in Mt. Vernon and from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. on January 13 at North Posey High School in Poseyville.

Mount Vernon natives David and Joanie Beste take a little down home with them ev-erywhere they go. The Posey County farmers reveal their traditional values through their ser-vice to the community.

The Beste farm employs three generations: David’s father Paul, David and David’s son Clint, who recently received his associate’s de-gree in agricultural systems technology from Murray State University. Farm life has led to involvement with 4-H. David is an Extension

board member and helps with any number of activ-ities during the 4-H Fair each year, especially with

the community building.Joanie herself served 15 years as a 4-H lead-

er. This past year was her fourth year on the Fairgrounds Community Center Board.

In addition, she is active in Mount Vernon General Baptist Church, where she and David are members. In the past, she has served there a number of years as a preschool Sunday school teacher. Now, she serves on the count-ing committee.

Joanie and her daughter Katie are also both dedicated to education. Joanie is serving in

her fourth year as a teacher’s assistant for spe-cial education at Mount Vernon Senior High School. Katie teaches at Evansville Day School although she may perhaps best be known in the area for her popular country singing, including a tribute to the late Patsy Cline.

Married for 28 years this month, David and Joanie enjoy a number of hobbies as well. Da-vid likes to hunt and to keep up with NASCAR races. He even snagged a two-headed deer in 1995 and says he will never be able to top that trophy. Joanie likes antiques, so she enjoys shopping at estate sales and consignment shops. She is also pleased to cook and read. The Bestes are animal lovers and spoil their three dogs.

Gavel Gamut’s “Resolutions By Proxy”

Letter to the Editor

TRUTH...STRANGERTHANFICTIONBY DAVEPEARCE

GAVELGAMUT

BY JUDGE JIM REDWINE

Americans losing rights by yielding to fear

There are people who need to make New Year’s resolutions such as to complete home projects, lose weight, exercise and keep their cell phones turned on. I, on the other hand, need not make any such commitments; I am mar-ried. Peg has already resolved that I will do these things and many others. Therefore, I can concentrate on making help-ful and well intentioned suggestions on how others should live their lives.

Let’s start with Uncle Sam. Sam, for 2011 I respectfully suggest you balance your check-book. If it’s good enough for us, it should be okay for you. And, how about referring to the Preamble of our Constitution and provide for a common defense, not a program of foreign invasion. You know, Sam, the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Spanish, French, English, Germans, Japanese and Russians bankrupted themselves fi nancially and morally by try-ing to control the whole world. Perhaps we should resolve to do things differently.

Coach Kevin Wilson of Indiana Univer-sity’s 2011 football program, let’s resolve to win actual victories not just moral ones. Yes, those near misses provide untold post-game, angst ridden bull sessions, but just think what winning the Rose Bowl would do.

Matt Damon, listen up. You were meant to play Jason Bourne, not some misplaced western lawman. I know you may get tired of beating the C.I.A. at its own game. Well, get over it. Is being rich and famous all that bad?

To all those drivers who do not realize there

are other people on the road, please resolve to: eliminate drunk driving; slow down in bad

weather; dim your lights, use your fog lights only when it is foggy; and quit lollygagging in the passing lane.

Telephone operators should resolve to speak some kind of recognizable language and never put callers on hold or transfer them to a computer.

Also, if callers must divulge their full names, shouldn’t the operators?

All commercial airlines should resolve to get passengers off planes within ten minutes of arrival and never leave passengers on the tarmac for more than thirty minutes.

Television news people based in New York City should resolve to travel beyond the Ad-irondacks and discover the rest of America exists.

Washington, D.C. news people should re-solve to consider the possibility there may be some public servants who really do serve the public.

Government workers should resolve to re-member who pays their checks.

And as we begin 2011, judges should re-solve to remind ourselves every day that: “There but for fortune ….”

There are plenty of other people and orga-nizations that might benefi t from the resolu-tions I could make for them, however, Peg is dragging me away from the comfort of our warm home with a steely resolution of her own. She has decided that my next resolution is to repaint the garage doors. I thought they looked pretty good already, silly me.

“Keep a song in your heart,” my elemen-tary music teacher, the late Vivian Omer would always say in parting. When I look back on 2010, my heart songs came from making memories, not from collecting memorabilia. I look back on people and events – not stuff – for inspi-ration.

First of all, the universe seemed to conspire to affi rm my writing. In the spring, the Woman’s Press Club of Indiana awarded me fi rst and second place for published samples of two kinds of writ-ing along with a $500 professional develop-ment scholarship. In October, author Sheila Bender emailed me about my winning in the fall Writing It Real contest. Three of us may enroll this year at no cost in an online writing class in addition to enjoying a free 30-min-ute phone consultation with Bender about our writing. Some of us are late bloomers, and we need this kind of nurturing to pre-vent us from withering on the vine.

My writing afforded my little family of three our second week-long vacation togeth-er in 12 years. On assignment in Orlando late last March, I was so proud, along with my husband Jim and teen daughter Jessica, to see the Mount Vernon Marching Wildcats wind their way around Main Street USA in Disneyworld. We learned it truly is a small world after all when dreams came true for so many Mount Vernon families at Disney last year.

Of course, every week as a writer brings me fresh adventure. Every time I go out and about now, I see someone whose story I’ve

told. I’ve traveled back roads I never even knew existed to get some of those stories. I’d lived in Mount Vernon for 19 years be-fore I started writing for the Posey County

News, and only since then have Posey people and plac-es really become familiar to me. Making those connec-tions is defi nitely the best part of my job. I now feel as if I belong to this commu-nity and take pride in doing some small part to help it

grow and thrive.My life outside work brought me many

blessings as well. Jim and I celebrated 21 years of marriage on July 14. We’ve found through attending two Community Marriage Builder, or CMB, weekends last year that we’re doing a few things right. We highly recommend CMB programming to other couples. On October 3, First Presbyterian Church in Mount Vernon received me as a member. Affi rmation of my marriage and my spiritual journey mean, of course, even more than affi rmation of my writing.

Seeing our children succeed at school and at work has delighted me also. I am so proud of the accomplishments of my daugh-ter Jessica and her two big brothers, Allen and Jamie, and their families. Every parent understands how good it is to say, “Those are my kids,” when they’re caught doing something well.

Heart songs rise from the joy of unearned relationships with people and undeserved participation in events. That’s the stuff dreams are made of—and where the real treasure lies.

Events of 2010 kept song in my heart and prayer on lips

I have been watching the controversy con-cerning the airport security searches that are presently taking place all over American. I am “shocked” and “amazed” how easily our citizens are giving up their constitutional rights that were paid for by the tremendous sacrifi ce of our Veterans.

If you don’t want to pass through an air-port scanner that allows security agents to see an image of your naked body or to pro-cess through a manual search, then you are subject to sanctions by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). That may include the possibility of not being allowed to fl y.

The Transportation Security Administra-tion, under the leadership of John Pistole is warning that any commercial airline pas-senger who enters an airport security check-point and refuses to go through the method of humiliation dictated by the TSA ,will not be allowed to fl y and furthermore, will not be permitted to leave the airport.

Any person choosing to avoid these ex-tremely intrusive searches, will have to re-main on the premises to be further questioned by the TSA and possibly by local law enforce-ment. Fines up to $11,000 and possible arrest are sanctions that may be provided for you if you exercise your constitutional rights.

As a Vietnam War Era Veteran, I person-ally would not be subjected to an “x-ray ma-chine” search or a “groping” by some TSA representative with a high school education. It is reminiscent of Nazi-Germany in pre-World War II. The citizens of this country

had better wake up and see what is taking place in America today. The Government of the United States is slowly but surely taking away our freedoms. They have implemented the Patriot Act, which basically does away with the “Bill of Rights” if the President so chooses and declares Marshal Law.

Ever since 9-11 people are all too willing to give up their rights in the name of a little “so called safety.” Don’t you get it people? You have already lost if you allow the radical terrorist to change your life in this manner. If you are living “scared,” then they have won. My father served in World War II under Gen-eral Patton and I can assure you if he were still alive today, that he would have some choice words for the TSA and none of them would be printable .

Personally speaking, I would much rather take my chances and live free under the Con-stitution of the United States of America than to go meekly into submission and allow my life to be changed on a daily basis because of a few “cowards.”

Randy Thornburg

Few things happen in my day-to-day life that are “normal.”

A few weeks ago, I decided that I would like to see the Capital One Bowl Game in Orlando, Fla., on New Year’s Day. After all, I have been to the game several times and always before the stadium has been clean, the weather beautiful, and the game close. Actu-ally, it was just a few years ago that I went to my fi rst bowl game and it was the Capital One Bowl game. It made a good impression and I have come back sev-eral times.

But like I said, few things I do are “nor-mal.” I decided to heed the advice of friends and get the tickets well ahead of time. Then, I decided to leave out of Owensboro-Davies County Airport. Overall, it was a good deci-sion.

However, leaving out of a “country” air-port gives lots of opportunities to hear and see what is going on around you. Not every-one who fl ies in from Florida immediately understands the Kentucky accent and it was the source of confusion for some of those waiting in the small terminal for their return fl ight to Florida.

I talked my long-time friend Bob Largent into going with me to the game. Not hav-ing fl own out of Owensboro before, I was pleasantly surprised when the plane that came in from Orlando was a large plane and

we would not have to worry about having to help the plane become airborn.

As luck would have it, I would have the pleasure of sitting back-to-back with perhaps the most grouchy woman on earth in the terminal while we waited for those coming from Or-lando to deplane.

“There is no way in the world people should have to stand in line to get through

security at an airport,” the woman retorted. “There is just no excuse for it. It’s the fi rst time I have seen anything like this.”

If that was, indeed the case, the woman hasn’t fl own lately. She complained about everything from the comfort of the chairs to the number of people who would be join-ing her on the fl ight. I couldn’t help but feel sorry for a young mother who was fl ying alone with two young children and wound up sitting near her in the terminal. Not only was she miserable, she managed to make everyone around her miserable.

Once we got onto the plane, of all the seats on the plane, she ended up in the row ahead of me and across the aisle. So, I had the honor of listening to her complain to anyone who would listen throughout the fl ight to Florida.

But on the other hand, I did not realize that I was sitting next to a celebrity. A woman in her 80s had been home to visit her family in Southern Indiana for the holidays. She, on

the other hand, was a real case. She watched as the grouchy lady complained and won-dered how she was able to survive if she was as unhappy as she appeared to be.

But the lady who sat next to me was look-ing forward to spending New Year’s Eve with her son and his friends when she got to the Orlando area. After all, she informed me, her nickname is “Miller Lite Mama.” She said she just couldn’t wait to celebrate the beginning of a new year.

Once we landed in Orlando, few things went right. If you do fl y out of Owensboro, please be advised that you will not be fl ying into the normal large Orlando Airport. And if you are like me, that was a real positive, except for the rental car, which I had had booked in error at the wrong airport. And, of course, all kinds of terms are involved when you rent a car and pay in advance so I had my choice to pay $75 for a taxi ride to the other airport or rent a car to go and pick up my reserved car. I was informed that would be $40. However, after taxes and gasoline were added, that little trek across Orlando would cost me about $80. And, my rental agent made it clear, my reservation was non-refundable so my choices didn’t

look good. If I did pay the $75 to get to the other airport and my reserved car, I would have to do the same thing when I came back. If I decided to rent a car, I would have to pay the same to get there and then to get back. If I decided just to rent a different car at the airport where we arrived, I would lose the money I had paid for the car I had re-served.

Fortunately, the company I had booked the car through worked with me. I did fi nd out something that I already know, the rent-al car companies that share counter space in the airport are all about helping each other a whole lot more than they are about helping the customer. But that’s another story for another day.

On game day, the weather was beautiful but the game was pathetic. I am a fan of the Big Ten but Michigan State had absolutely no business on the same fi eld with Alabama. As a matter of fact, I can’t for the life of me see how the Crimson Tide lost three times this year.

But when all was done, it was a good trip. We had fun and I got a little break from my hectic schedule. And I got to meet a real ce-lebrity.

Phillip Werry, a 30-year member of the fi re department in New Harmony, sums up everyone’s contagious enthu-siasm for the project. “It’s great, great for the community. It’s great for the community to pull together to do what they did.”

School girls’ basketball Coach Steve Mitchell knew his team would have to be on top of their game. They were hosting the Boonville Pioneers who are enjoying one of their best seasons in a long time.

They came into Mount Vernon on Thursday eve-ning with confi dence and sporting a 7-2 record.

The Pioneers were able to hang with Mount Vernon for one quarter but under the pressure being applied by the Lady Wildcats, the Pio-neers were further behind at every stop, eventually fall-ing by a 52-36 count.

“They have a good team but I thought our defense stepped up especially this game,” Mitchell said during a Sunday evening interview. “On offense, they keyed on Carynn Koch and she had a great fl oor game, fi nish-ing with eight rebounds and seven assists.”

The recipient of some of those assists was Jayce Ritzert, who fi nished with a team-high 17 points. Megan Randall had 15 and Jade Dixon fi nished the night with 12.

Mitchell said the Wild-cat defense was key to the game, as the Wildcats were able to get some cheap baskets off steals and turn-overs.

While happy with the 8-1 start and the 3-0 record in the conference, Mitchell is far from ready to declare his teams’ supremacy in the Big Eight. Remaining

Lady Wildcats are 8-1, 3-0

on the schedule are Mt. Carmel, with their talented freshman along with a date with the Vincennes Alices and a trip to Jasper still waiting in the wings.

Mitchell said he is ex-tremely proud of this team and the way the individuals have come together to do whatever they have to do to make a better team.

Due to an adjustment in the schedule at many Evans-ville schools, the Harlem Globetrotters have changed the start time of their perfor-mance at Roberts Stadium on Monday, Jan. 17, to 7 p.m.

The game was originally set for a 2 p.m. tip-off, as schools were scheduled to

be out of session for Mar-tin Luther King Day. The Globetrotters have discov-ered that many schools plan to use that day to make up for a snow day, so the team changed the tip-off time to 7 p.m. to allow more fans the opportunity to enjoy the Globetrotters live and in per-son.

In addition, the Globetrot-ters are offering a special “Kids Ticket” for the show. Tickets at select levels are available for kids age 17 and under for the special price of $15.

Information on group and scout tickets can also be found at www.harlemglobe-trotters.com.

Globetrotters announce time change for Evansville

By Dave PearceWhile most high school students were enjoying visiting

with family and friends over the holidays, the North Posey Viking basketball team took out time on Dec. 28 to get to wins and claim the title of the Tecumseh Invitational Bas-ketball tournament.

But while the team managed to win, neither game was pretty as the Vikings defeated a one-beaten Evansville Day School in the morning contest and then fi nished off the tour-nament with a win over the homestanding Braves.

While the Vikings were able to eventually pull away from Day School, it seemed that Braves’ Coach Kevin Oxley had his team very well prepared for the Vikings as they played tenacious defense and combined that with a deliberate of-fense en rout to the 41-34 fi nal.

It took a 3-point basket just before half-time to pull the Vikings into a 15-15 tie at the half after Tecumseh seemed content to control the ball until they shot a lay-up or got fouled in the fi rst half of the contest.

But in the second half, the Vikings came out in an aggres-sive man-to-man press and scored the fi rst eight points of the second half before Tecumseh fi nally got on the second-half scoreboard with a 3-pointer with 1:50 remaining in the third period.

The Braves attempted to sit back in a zone until the Vi-kings fi nally pulled them out near the end of the period and took advantage of their speed and athletic ability.

First, Nick Scheller got loose for a three and then Dil-lon Davenport scored on a old-fashioned 3-point play. The Vikings held their largest lead of the game at 29-18. The Braves hit a free throw with 17 seconds remaining in the third period to pull to within 29-19 at the third-quarter stop.

Tecumseh pulled to within 29-23 about three minutes into the fi nal period before the Braves were forced to foul and the Vikings made their free throws down the stretch. While scoring only one fi eld goal, Davenport fi nished the contest hitting 8-of-9 free throws to help his team win.

“You never complain about a win but we can take a whole lot of things away from this tournament,” North Posey Coach Matt Wadsworth said after the game. “We saw some things defensively that we had not seen this year and we saw some areas where we need to improve.”

While the Vikings have room for improvement, they moved out to 7-0 with the wins over Day School and Te-cumseh.

Vikings move to 8-0 win pair of wins
