The Region was well-represented when the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association released its all-state selections Tuesday.
Bishop Noll s Courtney Blakely and Michigan City s Trinity Thompson were both named to the IBCA Senior All-State Supreme 15 team, while Crown Point duo Jessica Carrothers and Lilly Stoddard, who led the Bulldogs to their third girls basketball state title Saturday, were selected to the IBCA Underclass All-State Supreme 15 team. I think (Stoddard and Carrothers) complement each other really well, Crown Point coach Chris Seibert said. A lot of stuff that we do offensively involves the pick and roll game with those two, and defensively we re aggressive, and Lilly is just that rock for us at the basket. I think this is a great accomplishment for them.

President Vladimir Putin’s announcement in August that Russia had cleared the world’s first Covid-19 vaccine for use before it even completed safety trials sparked skepticism worldwide. Now he may reap diplomatic dividends as Russia basks in arguably its biggest scientific breakthrough since the Soviet era. Countries are lining up for supplies of Sputnik V after peer-reviewed results published in The Lancet medical journal this week showed the Russian vaccine protects against the deadly virus about as well as U.S. and European shots, and far more effectively than Chinese rivals. At least 20 countries have approved the inoculation for use, including European Union member-state Hungary, while key markets such as Brazil and India are close to authorising it. Now Russia is setting its sights on the prized EU market as the bloc struggles with its vaccination program amid supply shortages.
