Lady Trailblazers 10th, Trailblazers 25th in NJCAA’s 1st hoops polls of season
November 18, 2009
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The Vincennes Lady Trailblazers are No. 10 in the NJCAA's first Div. I Women's Basketball Poll of the season, which was released today.
The VU men were in a tie for 25th in the initial poll announced late Tuesday afternoon.
The 7-0 Lady Trailblazers had been ranked No. 13 in the pre-season poll. Gulf Coast - host of this weekend's Gulf Coast Classic in Panama City, Fla, in which the Lady Trailblazers will participate – tops the first regular-season poll. VU, after beating No. 14 Lincoln Trail 69-64 Tuesday, faces Gulf Coast Saturday, after taking on No. 22 Chipola on the tournament's first day.
Each of the event’s games will be carried live on the Gulf Coast Sports Network. The broadcasts can be heard by visiting the Gulf Coast Athletics Web site at www.gcathletics.com.
The Vincennes Trailblazers, 6-1 on the season, share the 25th slot in the rankings with the College of Southern Idaho. Central Florida Community College is the top-ranked team in the first poll. The Trailblazers defeated Lincoln Trail (ranked No. 23 in the first poll) 81-77 Tuesday night.
VU will host Southeastern Illinois at 7 p.m. Saturday at the P.E. Complex.
Former VU Blazer Baseball Player Jason Clutter Making Way in Music
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Jason Clutter's family moved from Elberfeld to Haubstadt when he was 10 and he discovered sports, especially baseball. He loved it so much that he worked hard enough to turn his God-given talent into a scholarship to pitch and play outfield at Vincennes University.
Clutter graduated in 2002 as one of the NJCAA's top closers and holding a degree in graphic design. He moved on to Oakland City and then spent part of summer 2003 in Italy playing baseball. Unfortunately, his shoulder gave out during his senior year with the Oaks and he would never play baseball again.
So Clutter looked to his other passion - country music, which until that time had been a way to pass time on baseball road trips. “I would sing on the bus on road trips during college and the team would join in," he said.
Music certainly became more than a hobby when Clutter started a local band and recorded seven original songs, two of which got fairly heavy play on Evansville market radio for almost two years. The band quickly grew from playing in front of about 20 people to crowds of about 200 per night.
Clutter has opened for 13 national acts and hopes to complete a new album for release in 2010.

WVUB radio receives state Community Involvement Award
November 19, 2009
VINCENNES, IND. - Vincennes University radio station Blazer 91.1 WVUB is the recipient of the “Community Involvement” award from the Indiana Broadcasters Association. The award was presented Nov. 14 during the annual Spectrum Awards ceremonies in Indianapolis.
“I am very honored to have received this award for two reasons,” said Phillip Smith, general manager of WVUB. “We were very happy to have been selected as Radio Station of the Year last year. But this award has even more meaning. This is recognition of service to our community. Actually being concerned and involved in local events and activities is what broadcasting is all about, and being honored for that by your peers is the highest form of recognition. Secondly, both VU and the VU Broadcasting Department were recognized and highlighted by broadcasters from throughout the state.”
According to the Indiana Broadcasters Association, the Spectrum Award recognizes broadcast excellence for outstanding achievement in broadcasting by radio and television stations throughout Indiana. The competition was established to encourage the highest standards of reporting, community service, and production creativity. It is the ultimate peer recognition for members of the broadcast industry in Indiana.
“When I travel throughout the state, I frequently encounter graduates of VU’s broadcasting program and they always speak highly of their preparation at VU. Giving students the opportunity to be involved with award-winning stations such as WVUB is an important part of why our graduates achieve great success in this field. I commend everyone associated with WVUB on receiving this honor,” said VU President Dick Helton.
WVUB Program Director Michael Woods said the award is a motivator for the station’s staff. “The trophy shows the dedication of our staff and the acceptance of our listeners. We promise not to let up, but to continue to deliver quality programming for the people of the Wabash valley.”
VU BROADCASTING
The VU Broadcasting Department prepares students for successful entry into radio, television, and allied career fields while earning a college degree. The program emphasizes hands-on, real-world experience for students, including many hours in VU broadcast studios and stations perfecting both on-air and behind-the-scenes technical skills. VU’s public broadcast stations, WVUB and WVUT-TV, are the only ones in Indiana that are part of an academic broadcast program.
