Sullivan High School’s music program had an outstanding showing at today’s ISSMA Organizational Festival, with all three ensembles earning Gold Ratings—the highest possible distinction.

• Band – Group III, Gold
• Intermediate Choir – Group IV, Gold (photo unavailable)
• Golden Arrow Singers – Group III, Gold

At ISSMA, the lower the group number, the more challenging the music selection, making these accomplishments even more impressive. Our students demonstrated exceptional preparation, musicianship, and dedication throughout their performances.

We are incredibly proud of our talented musicians and the hard work they have put in to achieve this level of excellence.

The Sullivan Lady Arrows earned a 4–1 win over Vincennes Rivet on April 17, continuing a strong start to the season.

Sullivan swept singles play:
• #1 Ally McKinney won 6–0, 6–0
• #2 Mercedes Ferree won 6–3, 6–3
• #3 Raylee Hobbs won 6–0, 6–0

At doubles, Izzie Jenkins and Annie Dugan battled back for a three-set win at #1, while Mauer McCammon and Risse Dugan competed hard at #2.

Vincennes Rivet won the JV match 5–4, but Sullivan saw strong performances from Lori Alumbaugh, Annabel Grant, Faith Biddle (singles wins), and Tegan McCammon/Kaylee McGuire (doubles win).

Coach’s Comments:
Coach highlighted the strength of singles play and praised key adjustments made in doubles, especially in the third set at #1. He also noted continued growth at #2 doubles and strong JV contributions. The team was encouraged by the support of injured teammate Hayden Followell and wishes her a speedy recovery.

The Sullivan Varsity Golden Arrows rallied from an early deficit to defeat Terre Haute South Vigo 12–6 on Friday (4/17), powered by a strong performance from the bottom of the lineup.

Norris drove in four runs on three hits, including a two-run home run in the third inning, and added RBI singles in both the first and second innings to set the tone early.

Sullivan broke the game open in the second inning, scoring eight runs behind timely hitting. Adam McKinley and Ty Hamilton each delivered key doubles, while contributions from Jaxon Zollman and Spencer Hanks helped extend the lead. The Golden Arrows continued to add on in the third, highlighted by Norris’s home run to center field.

On the mound, Hamilton earned the win with a dominant performance, allowing just one hit over four scoreless innings while striking out seven. Karsen Norris came in for relief and closed the game with a strong, scoreless inning.
