sports women's basketball Addy Nyemchek’s first start sparks Indiana 80-44 win over Samford On Friday the 13th, the only surprise in Indiana women’s basketball’s 80-44 win over Samford University was a freshman forward in the winning team’s starting lineup. Addy Nyemchek made her first career start Nov. 13 after junior guard Lenée Beaumont was sidelined by a hyperextended knee. She responded with a career-high 16 points, helping Indiana improve to 4-0 for its second straight season. She opened the scoring with a layup on Indiana’s first possession. She finished 7-for-13 from the field, with all seven of her successful shots coming inside the paint. Through the first three games, the Hoosiers outscored opponents by 68 points during Nyemchek’s 63 minutes on the floor. Indiana shot 56% from the field in those minutes, while opponents shot just 38% from the field. The statistics are team numbers, influenced by the other four players on the court.

Lt. Gov. Coleman hits deer on Bluegrass Parkway

FRANKFORT, Ky – Crashes between vehicles and deer are most common this time of year especially in rural areas, and sometimes they are unavoidable; just ask Lt. Gov. Jacqueline Coleman. Coleman posted on her Facebook page Wednesday morning, “Last night, while traveling home from Bowling Green, my security detail and I were involved in a car wreck along the Bluegrass Parkway. We are okay. The vehicle and deer are not.” She also saluted the law enforcement agencies that arrived on the scene. “Thank you to the Nelson County Sheriff’s Office and other first responders. As always, I am indebted to Kentucky State Police for keeping me safe.” This should serve as a message for everyone to exercise caution on the roads, especially during the last three months of the year.
