BACK TO BASEBALL
NEW TEAM REVIVES KOKOMO BASEBALL TRADITION
Writer / Natalie Platt
A new team is taking over Kokomo Municipal Stadium this summer. The Kokomo Creek Chubs will play in the Prospect League, bringing the city back into a league it knows well.
Kokomo has been here before. The Kokomo Jackrabbits played in the same league years prior, but then the ballpark sat without a team. Matt Howard, now the Creek Chubs’ general manager, saw a clear assignment in what came next.
“We’ve built programs here before,” Howard says. “This is about doing it again and giving people something they want to come out and support.”
Howard says he has spent most of his life in the game. He played at Slippery Rock University, where he earned Division II AllAmerican honors, then moved through three seasons of independent ball in the Frontier League. He says those years shaped his sense of what a team can mean in a smaller city.
Coaching followed. He came to Kokomo during the Jackrabbits’ first season as an assistant, took over as manager midway through the year, and returned the next season in the role full time. He later joined the staff at Ball State University and then built a program from scratch at Indiana University Kokomo, where he served as the inaugural head coach.
“I’ve kind of been able to build programs here before,” Howard says. “That’s what excited me about this. It’s a chance to do that again in Kokomo and try to create something people are proud of.”
Howard’s path briefly left baseball. He spent five years as a police officer with the Kokomo Police Department, a stretch that kept him tied to the city even as his career shifted. When the Creek Chubs job opened, he saw a way back into the sport that had defined most of his adult life, and a way to reconnect it to the place he now calls home.
“Kokomo embraced me,” he says. “A lot of the people I’ve met here are lifelong friends. They were in my wedding. They’ve become part of my family. This is a community that’s done a lot for me, so having the chance to build something for it again means a lot.”
Right now, Howard’s top priorities are foundational: hire staff, get a mascot ready, and introduce the team to a city that remembers summer baseball but needs a new reason to show up. The Prospect League model relies on college players, and Howard says the roster comes together through relationships built over years in the game, through college programs, summer circuits and local ties.
“We’re tapping into the people we know and the relationships we’ve built,” he says. “You tell players we’ve got a great stadium, a strong league, and a community that cares about baseball. It’s a good opportunity for them to
come play in front of fans and get exposure.”
There is less urgency around promotions and more around presence. The team plans to expand its footprint once players arrive, with an emphasis on youth engagement and visibility across Kokomo. It is early, and much of that work will follow the roster.
Howard says success in the first season will be measured by whether the experience feels right for the people who come through the gates.
“Make it affordable. Make it fun,” he says. “When people come out, they should enjoy it. Put a good product on the field that they can cheer for and want to come back and support.”
Howard returns to the idea of the ballpark as a civic space, something closer to a gathering place than a venue.
“This field should be used the way it was designed,” he says. “It should be a place people can come with their families, with friends, even bring a company outing. Just somewhere to go in the summer that feels like Kokomo.”
The 2026 Prospect League schedule is 56 games, starting May 26 and ending with the Prospect League Championship Series during the second week of August.
You can catch a Creek Chubs game at Kokomo Municipal Stadium.

FAITH, FAMILY & HOOPS SHAPE A TIPTON STANDOUT
Writer / Kevin Conrad
For many small Indiana towns, basketball is woven into the rhythm of life. In Tipton, that rhythm still echoes through driveways, backyard hoops, and crowded winter gymnasiums where generations have gathered to cheer. It is where dreams begin quietly, with a ball, a goal, and a young player willing to keep shooting long after the sun goes down.
For Ben Humrichous, those roots never left him.
Even after stops at Huntington University, the University of Evansville, and finally the University of Illinois, where he helped one of college basketball’s premier programs make a
run to the Final Four, Humrichous still speaks with the humility of a hometown kid who understands exactly where he came from.
He also knows who guided him there.
“I’m a culmination of God’s love, grace, and sovereignty,” Humrichous says. “And then so many people who have loved me and have been willing to help and support me. I am nothing but a product of a lot of people.”
That perspective reveals far more than statistics ever could.
A TOWN BUILT ON HOOPS
Humrichous grew up in a community where
basketball mattered. In Tipton, Friday and Saturday nights often revolved around the high school gym, where tradition and toughness were expected.
“Growing up in Tipton, basketball was definitely what everybody did,” he says. “You drive through Tipton, every house has a basketball hoop in the backyard.”
He played his first three high school seasons under coach Lou Lefevre before finishing his senior year for veteran coach Cliff Hawkins. Both men, along with others around the program, helped shape his understanding of what winning required: discipline, sacrifice and daily commitment.
But the deeper lesson came from watching those who came before him.
Humrichous remembers older Tipton players who competed with grit and pride, setting a standard for younger kids to follow. That example helped create the culture he inherited and now hopes to pass forward.
“It established a love for the game inside of me,” he says. “And it taught me how much goes into success.”
MORE THAN BASKETBALL
While basketball opened doors, faith gave Humrichous direction.
Throughout the interview, he returned repeatedly to the same truth: his life is not defined by points, playing time or platforms. It is defined by Christ.
“My faith is incredibly important to me,” he says.
That faith has influenced how he handles success and adversity, how he treats teammates, and how he views the growing attention surrounding his career. Rather than seeing recognition as something to enjoy for himself, he sees it as an opportunity to serve others.
“At Illinois, I have a platform where kids will listen to me because I wear Illinois across my chest,” he says. “If I’m not trying to inspire people behind me, younger than me, the way people before me inspired me, then I feel like I’m missing an opportunity God has gifted me with.”
That mindset is rare in a sports world often centered on self-promotion.
Humrichous says he does not even have social media. News, highlights and community support usually reach him through his mother or sister. That choice seems fitting for someone who values substance over noise.
A CLIMB FEW COULD PREDICT
Humrichous admits that if someone had told him as a teenager at Tipton High School that he would someday play major college basketball and reach the Final Four, he would not have believed it.
“If you had told Tipton High School Ben … that I would have a key role in success at the University of Illinois playing basketball, I probably wouldn’t have believed you,” he says.
His journey took patience.
He spent three seasons at Huntington, developing both as a player and as a student. He earned his bachelor’s degree in
mathematics there, reflecting an analytical mind that has long enjoyed numbers.
“Math is my first love,” he says in his Illinois bio.
From Huntington, he transferred to Evansville, where he flourished against Division I competition. During the 2023-24 season, he averaged 14.7 points per game, led the team in scoring, and earned Missouri Valley Conference All-Newcomer Team honors.
That breakout year made the next step possible.
Soon, one of the nation’s storied programs came calling.
WEARING ILLINOIS ACROSS HIS CHEST
At the University of Illinois, Humrichous embraced a clear role: space the floor, knock down open shots, defend multiple positions, and do whatever winning required.
“My role was very simple,” he says. “Shoot
open 3s, make the right play, be a defensive anchor … and above all else, be the best teammate you can be.”
He did exactly that.
Across two seasons with the Illini, he became a valuable veteran presence known for toughness, versatility and timely shooting. He played in all 35 games in 2024-25 and all 36 in 2025-26, helping Illinois compete deep into March.
Then came the sport’s grandest stage.
FINAL FOUR, INDIANA
For an Indiana kid, returning home to play in a Final Four at Lucas Oil Stadium carried meaning beyond words.
“It was really special to be able to finish my college career back in Indianapolis,” Humrichous says. “Growing up, I never would have thought I would play a basketball game in Lucas Oil Stadium.”
Even amid the spectacle of 70,000 fans, his strongest emotion was not amazement; it
was gratitude. “When I think back, the only emotion I really have is an extreme amount of gratitude,” he says. “For the adversity, for the fun, for the joy that this team was.”
That gratitude extended homeward. He spotted Tipton supporters who had made the drive to cheer him on, just as they had supported him for years.
For a small town to see one of its own on that stage meant something.
For Humrichous, it meant everything.
FAMILY AT THE CENTER
If faith is his foundation, family is the circle that has surrounded him every step of the way.
He speaks warmly of his parents, Jason and Jennifer, and the values they instilled in him. He proudly mentions his older sister, Lynnea, and younger brothers Joseph, Samuel, Noah and Isaac. He also recently married, calling his wife, Adalia, one of his greatest sources of strength.
“My wife continually points me back to
Jesus and reminds me of who I am as a child of God, which is most important above anything basketball-related,” he says.
He describes his family as his greatest supporters, present for trips to New York, Houston, Greenville and Indianapolis during the NCAA Tournament, celebrating the highs and helping carry the burdens that come with a demanding sport.
In a results-driven world, they remind him who he is regardless of the
WHAT COMES NEXT
Humrichous has completed graduate work in business analytics after previously earning a master’s degree in recreation, sport and tourism. With school complete, he now turns toward professional basketball.
He hopes for an NBA opportunity through free agency, while also considering overseas options.
“That’s a kid chasing a dream that he’s always had,” he says. Wherever basketball takes him next, Tipton will travel with him.
A MESSAGE TO THE NEXT GENERATION
Asked what he would say to young people in his hometown, Humrichous offered words that sounded less like those of an athlete and more like those of a mentor.
“I would tell them to continue to chase the dreams that they have,” he says. “And it is possible through Jesus Christ … Chase the Lord with all your heart, and continue to chase your dreams in all that you do.”
Yes, Ben Humrichous can shoot, defend and compete at the highest levels of college basketball. Yes, he helped carry Illinois to a Final Four. Yes, he has more basketball ahead of him.
But the true measure of the man from Tipton is found elsewhere — in faith that stays steady, family that stays close, humility that stays grounded, and a willingness to point others upward as he climbs.

HOT FLASHES & BELLY LAUGHS
LOCAL AUTHOR PROVES LAUGHTER IS GREAT HORMONE THERAPY BY WRITING A HUMOR BOOK ABOUT PERIMENOPAUSE
Writer / Christy Heitger-Ewing
When women reach a certain age (usually 40s), we start having conversations with other females that often begin like this: “So, I’ve been dealing with this weird thing lately…”
That “weird thing” could be anything from
itchy ears and dry eyes to a racing mind and unquenchable thirst. It could be facial hair, dizziness, dry skin, acne, excessive clumsiness, inability to focus, sudden fear of driving, or an impending sense of doom.
If you find yourself questioning the cause
of these symptoms, I’ll save you some time by letting you know that all this nonsense is due to perimenopause, which is that stretch of time prior to menopause when your body produces less estrogen. I’m sorry to be the one to break it to you, but this transition period can last up to ten years. If you’re between the ages of 40 and 55 (perhaps even younger) and are experiencing annoying, odd, or surprising physical or mental symptoms, it’s likely perimenopause.
For five years, I grappled with terrible insomnia, thinning hair, intense anxiety, regular headaches, restless legs, dry mouth, painful hip, achy shoulder, throbbing joints, and brutally heavy periods. In addition to being hot, itchy, anxious, and overwhelmed, I felt like I was losing my mind as I struggled to recall certain words. Plus, I’d forget passcodes and people’s names. I’d space where I’d placed my keys, shoes, purse, or phone. I’d leave to run errands, get to the
front of the neighborhood, and have to stop and think about where I was going so I knew whether to turn left or right out of the subdivision. I’d be in the middle of a task and get sidetracked by some random thought like ‘If a cat’s fur goes up its own nose, does it tickle?’
Focus, Christy! Focus!
As if all of this wasn’t bad enough, stray hairs began sprouting above my upper lip, and pimples began forming on my chin. WTF? I looked like a cross between my husband and my teenager with facial hair and zits. Plus, every day, regardless of how much rest I got the night before, I was dog tired. It wasn’t until chatting with other women my age that I finally put the puzzle pieces together to determine I was in perimenopause, and it was kicking my ass.
When I met with a functional wellness doctor who specialized in hormone optimization, I felt seen, heard, and validated as she listened, took notes, drew
my blood, and built a plan. She was able to offer evidence-based, practical strategies to get me back to the land of the living. Woo hoo!
Did you know that during perimenopause you may suffer anywhere from 10 to 100 symptoms that range from mildly irritating to beyond aggravating? You may experience vertigo, rage, nausea, panic, frequent UTIs, heart palpitations, acid reflux, tendonitis, sore breasts, and phantom smells. Sadly, this is not a comprehensive list. However, I found an upside. You get to blame everything on perimenopause! If you forget what you were saying midsentence, that’s perimenopause’s fault. If you put your husband’s underwear in your kid’s drawer or your dog’s food in your cat’s dish, perimenopause is the culprit. If you drop a plate while unloading the dishwasher or trip over your own feet on the way to the bathroom, that’s the work of perimenopause. You get the idea.
It really is ridiculous how hormones have
rewired my mind and reconstructed my body. At a certain point, I had to laugh. When I found myself Googling, “tips for tolerating people,” and “Why do I suddenly want to throttle my husband for breathing?” I knew I must write a humor book about the experience.
“Why Did I Walk into This Room? Finding the Humor When Perimenopause is Kicking Your Ass” is for any woman who feels isolated, stuck, exhausted, and misunderstood in mid-life. This book of essays offers hope for the hopeless, clarity for the confused, enthusiasm for the apathetic, and laughter for the lethargic. If perimenopause has commandeered your brain, wiped you of energy & motivation, and wreaked havoc on your sleep & sex drive, this book is just what the functional wellness doctor ordered!
