Motion Denied in Kriss Eligibility Battle
Eighteen year old Rick Kriss lost the latest bid to play for Highland High School basketball. Special Judge Wesley Ratliff Jr. denied reinstating an earlier restraining order that allowed Kriss to continue playing after the Indiana High School Athletic Association ruled him ineligible. The IHSAA found undue influence to move Kriss from North Judson to Highland for the purpose of playing basketball.

Transfer tale fuels IHSAA basketball eligibility dispute
In a motion to correct errors Woolbert seeks reinstatement for Kriss challenging IHSAA decisions that bar his interscholastic play. A memorandum claims the action deprives Kriss of a college scholarship and financial means, risking education. Kriss testified he did not move for basketball reasons and had prior college inquiries, with IHSAA Commissioner Ward Brown indicating possible issues before undue influence charges. Highland Principal Leonard Austin and coach Bob Fuller supported Kriss as a well behaved student.

Indiana Lawmakers Narrow Budget Gap On Public School Financing
Indiana lawmakers and Gov. Bowen moved toward a budget compromise amid a $275 million surplus and a looming state budget gap. Negotiators weighed a GOP plan for a 2 percent school funding increase funded partly by state funds and local tax changes, against Democratic resistance to eroding the 1973 property tax freeze. Bowen signaled support for the GOP approach while noting a desire to preserve a safe surplus balance.
