Ball State head coach Brady Sallee said game plans do not always go well, but they did perfectly against Anderson University. The Cardinals defeated the Ravens 112-35, breaking a 49-year-old program record for the largest margin of victory. The 77-point win dethrones the 61-point win against Taylor University in 1975. Ball State wraps up its non-conference stint going 8-4, with one win against a Power 5 opponent (Texas A&M in the Battle 4 Atlantis). The Cardinals will now shift their attention to Miami (OH). Ball State will ring in the New Year against a Mid-American Conference (MAC) foe. Sallee said he has no question of what the 2024-25 Ball State women’s basketball team is after wrapping up a tough non-conference schedule against multiple ranked opponents. “We don't have to hope or worry about what it's going to look like,” Sallee. “That's the good news.”Freshman Grace Kingery said the physicality of the non-conference games has prepared the Cardinals to battle through it all. Kingery was a starter for the second game in a row, stepping up with senior Madelyn Bischoff sidelined due to injury. And battle through things the Cardinals have done. Ball State is dealing with two starters still out of the lineup (Bischoff and senior Alex Richard) and has had to pivot with their injuries. Graduate student Elise Stuck said Ball State has been doing a good job of moving different pieces around and still getting the same results even though players are hurt. “I'm proud of the group because we've not just had a couple of injuries, we've had three starters out at different points,” Sallee said. “...That's not easy to step in and just do what they did.”Sallee said there were a few moments of wondering what would work best, but everyone was more focused on a next-man-up mentality. “You think about two potential all-conference kids being out of your lineup for the amount they've been out of it, we haven't missed a beat,” Sallee said. Sallee said he has his fingers crossed to get Richard and Bischoff back for the Jan. 1 conference tip-off but does not want to put any expectations on when they will return to the floor.Sallee and the Cardinals know the product that is on the court, now he said Ball State has to know how to amp it up for the rest of the conference slate. “I love the toughness of the team, [and] I love the depth of the team,” Sallee said. “We're not a one-trick pony. We can score in a lot of different ways with a lot of different people.”Sallee hit on three places where he wants to see the Cardinals improve before MAC play begins. He wants to see Ball State be a better offensive-rebounding team, play without fouling (in certain situations) and improve on shooting. Sallee said there have been times the Cardinals have shot well but need to knock down 3-pointers. He said all three of those key points are within razor-thin margins, but margins that can make a difference. “We're going to have to beat the other teams to our weaknesses and improve on them before they can get exploited,” Sallee said. Ball State finished 16-2 in the 2023 MAC schedule and fell to eventual champion Kent State in the second round of the MAC Tournament. The Cardinals never lost a MAC game at home. “We are super aware there is a target on our back, and that is how we have to approach every single game,” Stuck said.

Indiana Michigan Power says it is extending its Muncie transmission line project along Tillotson Avenue into summer 2025. This includes lane restrictions on the major road.
Last season, an estimated $2.72 billion — yes, billion — was bet on March Madness. This shouldn’t come as a shock, either, as the NCAA is getting a lot of love in the US. Men’s final viewership has been increasing year-by-year for a while now, while viewership for the women’s game skyrocketed 89% in 2023, making it the most-watched women’s basketball game in history.
In the heart of Muncie, Indiana, three women leaders with divergent backgrounds are working to reshape their community and drive efforts to increase empowerment, equality, and growth for every woman at every level.
When Kynlie Keffer was in the second grade, the current Daleville sophomore started to compete in wrestling. After a while, she found success. After entering high school, she was more than successful – she was just good. During the 2023-24 season, she finished as state-runner up at the Indiana High School Girls’ Wrestling Association’s (IHSGWA) state finals meet. Later that year, she competed nationally. Now, she’s ranked as the No. 2 girls’ wrestler in Indiana. Though Keffer proved she was one of the best girl wrestlers in the state – and defeated multiple boys she matched up with – her sport was still not seen as an official sport in the Hoosier State. “It’s frustrating because you put a lot of work into it and it doesn't really count,” Keffer said. ‘Nobody really knew what was going to happen’However, the Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) saw signs of interest in girls’ wrestling and boys’ volleyball. Due to this, the organization decided to bring those two on as ‘emerging sports.’ There are still sports the program is looking into for the future.“Currently, girls’ lacrosse is the only sport which has become an emerging sport,” IHSAA assistant commissioner Robert Faulkens said via email. “They will need to meet the requisite number of schools participating as well as meeting all other required compliances.”A sport that becomes an IHSAA emerging sport does not guarantee it will pass and become an official IHSAA sport. Per IHSAA rules, 50 percent of the organization’s members must participate in the sport. Because of this, coaches and IHSAA employees were unsure what would happen. “Me and a bunch of other coaches talked and we were just kind of concerned how it was going to be handled,” Wes-Del girls’ wrestling head coach Cole Chambers said. “... Nobody really knew what was going to happen.”But to coaches and wrestlers who were involved, the turnout was just what they needed as the numbers for girls’ wrestling and boys’ volleyball met the required numbers.According to the IHSAA and commissioner Paul Neidig in a news brief, it was reported April 29, 2024, that 1,444 girl wrestlers represented 177 Indiana high schools.It was clear schools wanted to compete and due to that, a decision was made that same day. The organization voted to approve both sports as official IHSAA-sanctioned athletics, allowing Indiana to become the 46th state to offer girls’ wrestling as an actual high school sport. “The [IHSAA] came together because of Title Nine support,” IHSAA assistant commissioner Kerrie Rosati said. “So that way we could have a boy and a girl sport, and then they were given a two-year recognition status … They both met the rule of participating teams.”Per the IHSAA schedule, the inaugural girls’ wrestling season was slated to begin in October, and for Delaware County high schools, that was a quick turnaround. But to the coaches, a sport like wrestling is easier to include than other sports. “It’s a blue-collar sport in the sense that we don’t need a lot,” Daleville head coach Dalton Baysinger said. “Once you have a mat, you have a mat. As long as you can facilitate the wrestling room … you're good to go.”

Sports betting has been on the rise in the United States. This rise is kept as a cultural and economic phenomenon. In the early stages, sports betting was only confined to a few states but now it has exploded nationwide. This is mostly because of the 2018 Supreme Court ruling that overturned the federal ban. In this article we will explain the reasons behind its exponential rise, supported by data. Additionally, we will also take a look into the challenges and controversies of this success.

MUNCIE, Ind – High school basketball fans made their way to the Muncie Central Fieldhouse for the Muncie Sports Commission's Fieldhouse Classic. After five games which each included a Delaware County team came to a close, Monroe Central, Lapel, Delta, Hamilton Heights and Guerin Catholic all left the historic venue with a win. Following each game, a player from the winning team was named the Ball State Daily News’ Athlete of the Game. Here’s how the action went down. Game One: Monroe Central 68 - Wes-Del 61To start the event, the Golden Bears and Warriors competed in a back-and-forth affair. However, in the fourth quarter, Monroe Central found momentum and used that to top Wes-Del 68-61. “When we're moving around, it's hard to guard us,” Monroe Central senior Easton Foster. “We have a lot of great athletes… That's why I think we're rich and we're gonna be good.” The game opened with the Golden Bears having some success on offense. But following that, the Warriors wanted to get back in the game and they did so with senior Josiah Love as he scored 10 points in the first quarter. He ended the game with 29. He's just gotten stronger in the weight room,” Wes-Del head coach Josh Burkett said. “Nobody works harder than Josiah, and you see the product.” But in the end, the Warriors could not overcome obstacles including the free throw line. Wes-Del only shot 10 foul shots while the Golden Bears attempted 39. While the rivalry game did not end in favor of the black and maroon, Burkett believes they can take away multiple positives for the rest of the season. “This is a resilient group,” Burkett said. “I think we're gonna be okay.” Leading the way for the Golden Bears was Foster with 30 points. He was named the Athlete of the Game. Game Two: Lapel 84 - Burris 43While the Burris Owls led the contest 3-2 in the first few minutes, the Lapel Bulldogs flipped the script for the rest of the period. The 18-7 lead became the tone-setter as the black and gold defeated the Owls 84-43. Lapel senior Brode Judge led the way with 22 points, which included a slam dunk. His efforts earned him the Player of the Game award. “I was just getting into the basket and 3-pointers were falling,” Judge said. Though the Owls were never able to find consistent momentum, junior Malachi Smith stood out as he led the blue and white with 16 points. To Burris head coach Blair Broussard, Smith is someone the team can build around. “He definitely brings a different tone to the floor,” Broussard said. “...He’s very fast and athletic, so we want to utilize that. It's just a matter of trying to figure out [how to use] those opportunities.” With the Owls having many new players this year, this was another game that the team wanted to use to acclimate with each other. But to Broussard, getting to play in the event was something he wanted his players to have fun with. “The opportunity to bring the Burris program over here to have them play in this historic facility, it means a lot,” he said. “...Having these guys over here and having them understand all the history within the facility, it means a lot to us and our community.” Game Three: Tipton 42 - Delta 48The third game of the day showcased defense on top of more defense. Fouls, charges and competitiveness at the rim highlighted most of the matchup. But just like in their win over the Yorktown Tigers last evening, the Delta Eagles pulled ahead late and defeated Tipton 48-42. “We trust each other in late game situations,” Deita head coach Mark Detweiler said. “I thought we did a nice job of just making sure that we played through the right matchups down the stretch.” Delta senior Jordan Furney led the way with 18 points while junior Lucas Bragg followed with 13, which included three 3-pointers. Furney was awarded the Player of the Game award.“We gotta play a big role and get our points,” Furney said. “We have to make sure the team is all together.” During the fourth quarter, Delta senior Bronson Edwards fouled out with four minutes remaining. The Eagles had to ask their younger players to step up, and they did just that, helping the blue and gold become the first Delaware County team to come out on top. “[The younger guys] have been great,” Furney said. “We have a lot of young guys… but they're playing great defense and they're playing all-around great basketball.”

YORKTOWN, Ind – The rivalry between the Yorktown Tigers and Delta Eagles continued Friday evening as the green and white and blue and gold met on the court at Yorktown High School. While the contest was all Delta after opening the game up with a first-quarter lead of 20-6, the Tigers battled back to lead 40-39 at the end of the third quarter. This was when Eagles’ head coach Mark Detweiler said they needed to do something. “We got hung up on this creating action,” he said. “Those are things that we gotta clean up.”But once the fourth quarter began, Detweiler did not have to say much as steals, good passes and other positive play allowed the blue and gold to go on a 9-0 run which led them to a 53-45 victory. “There’s about 14 minutes there where we outscored a really good basketball team,” Detweiler said. “…I love what we're doing defensively on the ball.”For Delta (3-1) senior Bronson Edwards, one of his goals was to get revenge on the Tigers after he and the rest of Delta football fell to the green and white in the fall. Once the clock hit zero, that goal was crossed off of his list. “It just feels pretty awesome because we got killed in football,” Edwards said. While the defeat was a negative result for the Tigers, Yorktown (3-1) head coach Matt Moulton liked what he saw from his team. After falling behind by 15 points in the first quarter, he was pleased to see his players rally around to make a comeback. “To take the lead at the end of the third quarter, that's what we're gonna focus,” he said. “We just gotta finish the game in the fourth quarter.” Moulton credited the Eagles for the way they played. To him, they deserved the win more than his own team. . “They pushed us around and they absolutely deserved to win the game,” he said. “I thought our guys played hard too, but they're a physical defensive team. Gotta give them pros tonight. They were clearly the best team out there.” But the comeback fell just short after the Eagles’ late scoring run. Senior Jordan Furney led the way for the blue and gold with 19 points and junior Lucas Bragg followed with 12. Edwards added 11 in the win. For the last two seasons, the Eagles have ended their campaigns with appearances at semi-state. While it’s only December, the players believe this is a team that can do it again. It’s just about making sure everyone is on the same page. “I think we can go to semi-state, hopefully, farther than that,” Furney said. “But overall, I think we can do it.” Yorktown senior Austin Kates led the green and white with 14 points. Both the Tigers and Eagles will return to action in tomorrow’s Fieldhouse Classic at the Muncie Central Fieldhouse. Delta will face Tipton at 4 p.m. while the Tigers will play Guerin Catholic at 7:45 p.m. “Athletes and competitors just get up for stuff like this,” Moulton said. “You lose on a Friday night, then let's go back and compete again and win on a Saturday.” Contact Zach Carter via email at zachary.carter@bsu.edu or via X @ZachCarter85.
