Mt. Vernon graduate and current Pendleton Heights coach Shari Doud was recently named to the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame's Silver Anniversary team.
Doud -- whose maiden name is Shari Clark -- was a standout guard for Tom Earlywine at MV and graduated in 1987. Her team won a sectional her sophomore year and played in the Hall of Fame Classic as a senior. She then played collegiately at Drake University before finishing her degree at St. Joseph's College in Rensselaer.
Doud has served as an assistant coach at Mt. Vernon with head coach Diana Myers, then took over the Greenfield-Central program in 2000. She led the Cougars to a 13-8 record and then took over the program at Pendleton Heights, where her team has won three consecutive sectionals and a regional in 2009. She has a career coaching record of 193-82 and has coached several standout players, including Ellen Hamilton at G-C and Susan Lester, Hannah Douglas and Mur Hagerman at Pendleton Heights.
The Silver Anniversary team is named each year by the Hall of Fame and honors players who graduated from high school 25 years before.
They will be recognized at a banquet April 28 at Primo Banquet Hall in Indianapolis.

Friday wrap: Marauders, Dragons win
Mt. Vernon used a quick 14-point, three-minute first in the first quarter to build a double-digit lead that it would never relinquish in a 52-22 victory over Greenfield-Central on Friday night in our Game of the Week. Thanks for listening -- you can find the archived broadcast at HancockCountySports.com.
Sophomore C.J. Coleman scored eight of his game-high 18 points and freshman Dan Werner added all seven of his points in the first quarter as the Marauders jumped out to a 20-3 lead, scoring 14 points in the final 3:33. Stephen Turner added nine points -- several in the middle quarters. MV led 27-9 at the half, and then outscored G-C 18-8 in the third quarter -- led again by eight points from Coleman -- to jump out to a 45-17 lead after three.
Junior Mason Irbe led G-C with 10 points. While MV was able to get its transition game going, the Cougars' half-court defense was strong and will be a building block for them as they move on during the year.
MV is now 6-3 (2-1 HHC) heading into Saturday's game at New Castle. G-C is 0-10 (0-3 HHC) and will next play Jan. 14 at Triton Central.
New Palestine 58, Delta 34: The Dragons outscored Delta 44-18 in the middle quarters to pull away, including a 21-6 second-quarter that allowed NP to turn an eight-point deficit into a 25-18 halftime lead.
NP had strong balance, led by junior guard Justin Ikerd. He hit 4-of-8 from 3-point range to score a team-high 14 points on the night. Junior forward Michael Morris added 12 points. Senior Josh Penley had six points and six assists, while senior Brandon Collins had six points and six rebounds.
The Dragons won their eighth straight game -- the longest such streak since 1997-98, when NP won 12 straight in the middle of the year. The victory also gave NP a 9-1 record, its best start since going 8-0 and 10-1 in 1995-96 -- a season in which the Dragons went 19-3. NP is also 3-0 in HHC play, setting up a meeting next Friday 1/13 with #10 Pendleton Heights (11-2, 3-0). Of course, we plan to broadcast that game at HancockCountySports.com!

Schedule changes
Upcoming NCAA legislation that has killed the impending Hoosier Heritage Conference girls basketball classic at Hinkle Fieldhouse on Jan. 21 has also caused changes to our broadcast schedule.
We had planned to broadcast two games from the Hinkle Classic, and several games that weekend. We will continue to broadcast the Knightstown-MV boys game on Thursday, Jan. 19.
However, we have schedule changes for the rest of the weekend.
On Friday, Jan. 20, we will broadcast the Mt. Vernon at Greenfield-Central girls game, which was originally to be played at Hinkle. Because of that, we will not be able to broadcast the Eastern Hancock at Lapel game that was originally on our schedule that evening. We are no longer planning to broadcast any games on Saturday, Jan. 21 as of this time.
We are adding two games to our broadcast schedule that were not originally part of it:
On Friday, Feb. 3, we will broadcast two games simultaneously. We've added the Senior Night for Mt. Vernon's decorated girls basketball senior class as the 3A No. 2 Marauders face 4A No. 5 North Central. Join Chris Lambert for that game, or join Andrew Smith for the Shelbyville at New Palestine boys game that night.
On Tuesday, Feb. 21, join us as Eastern Hancock's boys team visits Morristown.
