By FRED SWIFTIt's finally official, $100 million in state
funding is coming to Hamilton County toupgrade congested Ind. 37, making it asignal-free parkway from 146th Street intoIndianapolis. Gov. Mike Pence himselfmade the announcement Thursday morningin front of a crowd of 200 or more politicalleaders, news media representatives and cit-izens.
The plan to replace signalized intersec-tions with elevated roundabouts has beendiscussed locally for several years, but thehuge cost required major assistance fromoutside the county. "The governor lis-tened," said County Commissioner Mark
Heirbrandt when addressing the crowd atthe Delaware Township Community Center.
In addition to the $100 million in statefunds, Hamilton County and the City ofFishers will each contribute $12 million tothe project. Noblesville which has no mon-ey at the present time, hopes to join Phase 2of the improvements at some yet undeter-mined date. This second phase will convertintersections at Ind. 32, Pleasant Street,Town and Country Blvd., and GreenfieldAve. to the same type of roundabouts asthose further south.
The project's first phase is set to beginin 2018, according to the governor. It willtake three years to complete during whichtime officials say accommodations will be
made for businesses inconvenienced by theconstruction.
Only the owner of Fishers' Hot BoxPizza asked questions at yesterday's meet-ing about how access can be provided to thebusiness. The owner was told she and otherowners would be consulted one-on-one totry to arrange for their access.
Gov. Pence praised officials of thecounty, Fishers and Noblesville for work-ing together with the Indiana Department ofTransportation to bring about a satisfactorydeal on the massive project. State Sen. LukeKenley drew special thanks from Pence forassisting in bringing about the cooperativeeffort.
Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness told thosein attendance that the new improvementswill greatly cut drive time for the county'smany commuters. He said his informationshows 50,000 vehicles currently travel 37each day and the situation is rapidly ap-proaching gridlock.
Design renderings of how the new roadwill appear were on display at the an-nouncement. They show a freeway-styleroadway similar to Carmel's KeystoneParkway. It was rebuilt six years ago andhas been called a great success over theformer road which had a half-dozen gradelevel intersections through Clay Township.

“The agreement forged today marks an ex-traordinary investment in our community thatwill benefit Hamilton County and the entireregion.
“The leadership of Governor Pence and thecollaboration with INDOT and local govern-ments ensures an innovative and comprehensiveproject that will solve congestion challenges inthe corridor while improving economic oppor-tunities, quality of life for business and resi-dents, and increased public safety for travelers.”

By DON JELLISONReporter EditorGuerin Catholic will try to break a two
game losing streakthis weekend whenthe Golden Eagleshost Northwest onFriday and MuncieCentral on Saturdayat the Eagles Nest,Guerin’s fourth andfifth straight homegames of the season.
Northwest will bethe foe on Friday andMuncie Central onSaturday.
Northwest is 0-4 with losses to Nobles-ville 71-49, Ben Davis 80-35, LibertyChristian 79-60 and Attucks 81-61.
Muncie Central has lost to HamiltonSoutheastern 87-82 and has defeated York-town 71-49 and Shelby County (Kentucky)79-64.
Guerin Catholic dropped back to backgames to Hamilton Heights and Tech lastweekend after opening the season with awin over Herron.
“Northwest has to be hungry for a win,”said Guerin coach Pete Smith. “They’reathletic and have a lot of experience backfrom last season. They will really be achallenge for our guys to stay in front on,and they are quick leapers.
“Muncie Central looked great for threequarters at Southeastern. I think they havetheir best team since 2011-12 when theywere No. 1 in the state in 3A heading intothe tournament. The (Phillip) Corthen kidhas always given us fits, and they have 6-6and 6-8 inside to go with him.”
Smith hopes to get his Eagles turnedaround.
“Our team is not playing as well as Ihoped, but I have to remind myself that wehave so many new faces at the varsity lev-el,” Smith continued. “Something glaringlymissing from last year’s team is a toughnessfactor we have to develop.
“I’m happy with the improvement JackHansen is making. It’s a big step goingfrom starting on the freshman team lastseason to varsity action. He’s making thetransition well.
“It will be great to have Cameron Lind-ley back this week. We missed his floorleadership last weekend, no doubt, and itchanges roles for several of our playerswhen he’s not on the court,” Smith added.
Christian Munson is leading the Eaglesin scoring with a 22.0 average, followed byHansen at 13.0 and Matthew Godfrey at12.0.

“We will have to match their en-ergy and effort to give us the bestopportunity to win
“We played well on Tuesday(with a win over Faith Christian), andI hope that momentum from a doubleovertime win carries over to tonight.”
Tipton appears to be loaded.“They are tough,” Schrank talked
about the Blue Devils. “They have a
really tough player in Mason Degenkolb, and his support-ing cast is strong, also.
“This game will be a real measur-ing stick to see where we are. On topof that, it will be our third game of theweek. We have to focus in on Fridaynight’s conference game and thenquickly turn around to focus on a verygood opponent.”
Sheridan has two players in dou-ble figures. Chris Roberts is averag-ing 17.3 points a game and JakeChesney is scoring at a 10.7 clip.

“We are moving in the rightdirection,” said HSE coach Brian Satterfield. “We show
glimpses of how good we can be on defense, at times,but need to do it all the time. Our offense is starting tobe a little more fluid as guys have a better feel for eachother.
“Saturday will be a great test to see how fluid wereally are.”
Satterfield said North Central will be a great chal-lenge for his team.
“They are a very good veteran team,” said Satter-field. “Coach (Doug) Mitchell has them playing verywell and unselfish.
“We will have to take care of the ball. Last year wehad a stretch where we turned it over half of our posses-sions during a four-minute stretch that we never couldrecover from. They have many weapons. Thus, we willhave to find a way to play great team defense.”

Sheridan girlsbasketball coach JeffGuenther summed itup precisely after hisBlackhawks battledCarroll Thursdaynight at Hobbs Gym-nasium.
"It was a toughtest," said Guenther.
Sheridan foughtto the end, but fellshort to the Cougars56-53. Carroll, which
is ranked No. 10 in Class 2A, took the leadin the second quarter and kept it for theremainder of the game, thus ending theBlackhawks' five-game win streak. Sheri-dan is now 6-3 for the season.
But the 'Hawks stayed close, never al-lowing the Cougars' lead to get out of hand.In fact, Sheridan scored eight unanswered
points towards the end of the game, cuttinga 51-40 Carroll lead to 51-48 with 39.9seconds left. The Cougars went through aspell during the run where they tried todrain the clock, and succeeded in takingabout two minutes off.
Still, Sheridan was able to whittle Car-roll's lead down. Brittany Welch scored offa steal by Jillian O'Flaherty, then AudreyReed made a layin while getting fouled, andhit the ensuing free throw for a 3-point play.That made the score 51-48 with 39.9 sec-onds left.
The Cougars finished the game from theline, making 5-of-6 foul shots in the final 30seconds. But the Blackhawks played to thebuzzer, with Faith DeVaney making a 3-pointer at the horn.
"I thought we competed," said Sheridancoach Jeff Guenther. "I thought we playedhard. They defend extremely well, make itdifficult for you. It was a tough test."
Carroll went on an early 6-0 run to jumpahead 8-2, with Sheridan answering back
by scoring eight straight points. Welch hit a3-pointer, then Reed poured in five points.That made the score 10-8 Blackhawks, butfive straight points moved Carroll ahead13-10 after one.
Nixon Williams hit an early 3-pointer inthe second period to get Sheridan up 15-13.The Cougars answered with another 6-0run, which was keyed by Macy Willough-by. The junior is a big part of Carroll'ssuccess this year, and she was hard to stopThursday. Willoughby scored 23 points,including five 3-pointers.
"That's a very good basketball team, andyou can't afford to make critical concentra-tion mistakes," said Guenther. "And we didthat early."
Carroll led from anywhere between fourand nine points for most of the second half,getting ahead 51-40 after Willoughbydrained two more 3s in the middle of thefourth.
Welch scored 27 points for Sheridan,including three 3-pointers of her own, and
grabbed eight rebounds. Reed scored 20points.
