So there were two Judson twins who played on the Hebron championship team.....and both went on to play at U of I. you can see the basketball water tower from about 5 miles away....great little ice cream place there and actually a fried chicken spot, Crandalls that is the best with great Manhattans...and an old school lumber yard that still makes all the cuts for you......you pass the high school coming into town from the south....I believe it is the same brick high school. The Green Giants play 8 man football.

Phil Judson coached at Zion Benton High School until he retired in 1989. l believe he coached there for 30 years.
Let's go Braden!

Hope Kansas works out better for him than it did for Charlie Moore.

Indiana St has added 3 players, I think bringing their total to 5, so they can field a team, The recent 3 are all transfers from the new coaches old school. Division II Lincoln Memorial.

Indiana State hired the head coach from DII Lincoln Memorial. So it’s not coincidence that they just got 3 transfers from there.

I think next year the MVC is going to be pretty polarized with a handful of really good teams (us, Drake, Missouri State, maybe UNI), some potentially bad, or “rebuilding” teams (Indiana State, Illinois State, Bradley), and the rest being teams that are too unknown to predict (SIU, Valpo)

I think SIU is going to be real good too. They're young and Mullins has them playing in schemes and sets that look like Loyola-lite. I think Drake, losing Yesufu and Tank Hemphill, may take a step back.
