I’ve been a big Westville fan for a while now especially of their steak sandwiches (add gouda + extra pickles) I’ve noticed a stark decline — shrinking portions our portions were so thin + bill so high I told myself to “never go back” — sad that’s happening at neighborhood favorites now but have you priced hamburgers at area restaurants lately I’d rather have my fried ground beef at home sans fries (they now give me indigestion…) A Big Mac meal at McDonald’s is around $11 now The last couple of times they made mistakes on my bill I was overcharged for items and charged for items I did not order I prefer the thinner patties of America’s drive-in burger joints give me a real burger where i can bite into a good chunk of meat This burger seems to go against all trends and at $15 for looks like an absolute steal diner and restaurant in this city serves these gaudy monstrosities I stopped eating overly fat burgers served on English muffins when I moved out of my parents’ house © 2025

coach It was enough for him to believe a season like this could happen Nobody wins at Westville. It’s a town most known for having a state penitentiary in it. The girls basketball program has never won a sectional title in its 49 years. The boys team’s drought is at 101 years Yet Megyese has the lady Blackhawks sitting at a 20-2 record heading into the IHSAA Class 1A postseason this Tuesday More: Check here daily for South Bend area and Indiana state high school basketball scores More: As Bethel men's basketball honors its 1995 champs, its current team has title aspirations also “They didn’t stop working,” said Megyese of his team and I thought we had a chance to be really special I just loved what I saw from the work ethic standpoint and the character standpoint.” What has allowed Megyese to be successful?This is the third stop on a 28-year head coaching journey for Megyese A six-year run in there from 2002-07 yielded six sectional It was the first girls basketball state champion in Saint Joseph County history More: State champions fill up South Bend Saint Joseph's 10 best athletes of 21st century list One of his assistant coaches during that stretch had a firsthand experience of what Megyese did to elevate the Saint Joe program he was very direct and was really good at analyzing where they were at He could tell you stats right now from 2002 and 2004 and that was a lot of fun working with somebody who just had a mind for things like that.” That relationship building was evident this fall when Megyese asked one of the star players from that 2005 team to come and speak to the current Westville group “That was truly special to me,” Megyese said “… That (response) keeps you feeling like (the state championship) wasn’t that long ago.” Megyese took the 2009 season off before starting a 15-year stint at Michigan City from 2010-24 Although the Wolves only won one sectional title in that span (2012) they had winning seasons in 10 of the 15 years Megyese sits with a career record of 410-233 That feels Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame worthy “That says a lot for Mike’s style of coaching I believe there’s an opportunity for him (to go into the Hall of Fame) if that ever comes up.” Maximizing the talent at WestvilleHanging in the Westville gym are banners honoring the championships won by various programs at the school over the years Only one sport has zero numbers on its banner: girls basketball Megyese made it a point to remind his team of that throughout the season “We did it at about four or five times this year at selective times ― I picked those selective times ― and I just told them to keep their goals in front of them,” Megyese said “They had a chance to do something special that the school has never done They’ll add “2024-25” under two sections of the banner ― Porter County Conference tournament champions The Blackhawks earned its first conference tournament title in the 53-year history of the event on Jan then beat the Cherokees again three days later to be outright regular season champs I’m still a little shocked by it,” said senior Andrea Benefield of the success this season I would’ve never thought I’d be in this position my senior year especially after the last two years and how hard it’s been on everyone.” Maybe the biggest thing Megyese has brought to Westville is stability five different people have been the Blackhawks girls basketball head coach for the last three seasons “It’s very nice not switching through coaches halfway through the year,” senior Miranda Sparks said so having one coach who’s been there since day one supporting you through your ups and downs is the best feeling.” It’s not just a 21-2 season against easy competition Westville has picked up quality wins against Bremen (20-2) which ranks as the 21st-best margin in the state The Blackhawks have done all this while having just nine players in the program currently “(Megyese) pushes us every practice,” said freshman Hillary Labis “He makes sure we’re all here and all ready We’ve got to keep going heading into sectionals.” Up next: A (likely) rematch – and chance at redemptionThe sectional draw was a mixed bag for Westville they were the only team in the seven-school field to get a bye what likely awaits them in the semifinal is a matchup with No The Blazers handed the Blackhawks one of its two defeats this year Marquette is the defending Class 1A state runner-up and returned 99% of its offense from last year’s group headlined by Indiana Junior All-Star candidate Laniah Davis More: 111 high school athletes to watch for from the South Bend area in 2025 Should the Blazers (17-4) beat host Bowman Academy (8-11) in the first round Tuesday it’ll set up one of the best semifinal matchups in the state Friday night “We knew when we played them that they’d be a good team and they are,” said Benefield of Marquette and we knew we’d have to face them again during sectionals The Westville team was together when the sectional draw was revealed last Sunday Their reaction was all Megyese needed to know his team was ready for the upcoming challenge “When we saw who we’re probably going to play on Friday night Follow Austin Hough on X (formerly
