SIC Women's Basketball tryouts

HARRISBURG, IL (KFVS) - Open tryouts for Southeastern Illinois College's women's basketball team will be held on Monday, September 19th.

First year Coach Clyde Buck will hold those tryouts in SIC's Deaton Gym. They start at 2:30 p.m.

Scholarship money is available for those chosen to be on the team.

Buck says his general style is to play a full-court, aggressive, and trapping defense to try and force turnovers. He also says he likes to sprinkle in both man and zone defenses in the half-court.

Coach Buck was the head coach at Wabash Valley College's women's program in Mt. Carmel. Under his direction, the teams produced 8 all-conference and all-region selections. 16 players also went on to play at 4-year colleges.

U.S. Coast Guard offers boating safety tips for hunters

(KFVS) - The United States Coast Guard is offering boating safety tips for hunters.

The Coast Guard says capsizing and falling overboard into cold water are major hazards for hunters. During hunting seasons, most waters are cold enough for a serious hypothermia threat.

They say responsible hunters need to be aware of the dangers and follow a few simple rules to make hunting on the water safer and more enjoyable. The tips include:

  • Leave a float plan with someone at home, describing where you are going, who you are with and when you expect to return.
  • Transport firearms to the boat unloaded, cased, muzzle first, with the action open.
  • Always wear an approved and properly fitted life jacket when in a boat.
  • Carry a throwable flotation device in case someone falls overboard.
  • Stow visual distress signals on board.
  • Know the weather forecast for the area. High winds can be dangerous.
