Photo provided by Raymond M. Adler Photo provided by Christina (Chris) Miller For the second time in state history, the Indiana Republican State Convention was held in a city outside the state’s capital. (Left) On June 8-9, Republicans from across Indiana convened for a weekend in Evansville to nominate their 2018 statewide ticket. Delegates nominated party candidates for Secretary of State, Treasurer of State and Auditor of State. An overwhelming majority of state Republicans voted not to change the “Strong Families” language in the Party’s platform, which still contains the phrase “marriage between a man and a woman.” (Right) Governor Eric Holcomb was one of several speakers at the convention.

With runners on third and second base after Albright gave up back-to-back one-out singles, Tommy Benson nearly chipped the Tigers’ 4-0 lead in half. Benson lined a two-out, two-run single into center field on an 0-2 count, but the hit was waved off and the runs were erased due to a catcher’s interference call, which prompted the home plate umpire to rule the ball dead on contact. Benson’s bat grazed catcher Kiel Brenczewski’s glove, negating the play once the ball was deemed dead, but loading the bases. Albright induced a groundout to end the threat. “It saved us from two runs,” Jamieson said. “I’ll take it any day.” Torres provided little in relief with three strikeouts and three hits over 3 2/3 innings after Peterson exited.

Ana Collar, Hamilton Heights senior, has signed a letter of intent to play volleyball for Indiana Wesleyan University. She is the daughter of Darren and Marianne Collar. “It was Coach Candace Moats, who was recently named to the NCCAA Hall of Fame Class of 2018, and the rest of the team who made me feel at home right away,” said Ana Collar of her decision to continue her edu- cation and play volleyball at IWU. “They have a great athletic department and a strong athletic training and physical therapy pro- gram.” “I have been passionate about volleyball ever since I was little, spending time in the gym with my mom, who shared a love of the sport, and was also a coach for many years,” recalled Collar, who is also a member of the Lady Huskies Basketball team. Collar, a year-round player, credits her club teams at Municiana for being a strong influence in her development over the years along with her mother, Marianne, and brother, Quinn. Collar has been recognized for her con- tributions to the Lady Huskies being named to the Indiana All Star 3A/4AS North team, Hoosier Conference Champions, All Con- ference Team and All County Team in 2017, and to the 2016 Indiana All Star 3A/4A North Junior team.
