The REPORTER The American Red Cross urgently needs blood donors to make an appoint- ment to give this winter so that patients can continue to receive lifesaving treat- ments. Michael Harper knows how critical it is to have a readily available blood supply. “I used over 300 units of blood when I was younger after an auto acci- dent.

Westfield’s relationship with company began when Jonathan Byrd’s Event & Entertainment announced, in April of last year, it had en- tered a multi-year partnership with the City of Westfield to manage commercial business at the 400-acre park’s center- piece. Prior to its agreement with the City of Westfield, Byrd’s had already secured naming rights to an 88,000 square foot basketball facility developed by Andy Card, located on the Grand Park campus. Card’s company is the same company that will build the newly announced Nobles- ville Fieldhouse. Also, in 2016, Westfield selected Byrd Hotels over five other developers to build a five-story hotel on land owned by Westfield directly west of the Events Center. “While we appreciated our relationship with Grand Park, it was during an eval- uation of long term business plans that we determined the company would no longer re- main at Grand Park,” David Byrd said. “While we contin- ue to operate concession ser- vices at the Fieldhouse, in co- operation with the owners we are also evaluating this in con- junction with all of our long- term business strategies.” By JANET HART LEONARD It was Sun- day dinner at my mom's when she asked me to go look for a quilt that she thought was tucked in between the mat- tress and the an- tique coil springs of her guest bed. Sure enough, Chuck and I found the buried treasure. We not only found one but two quilts. One in yellow prints. One in pink prints. I carried them into the family room and my mom's face lit up. "Oh you found the quilt that your dad's mother made for him before she died when he was five AND the quilt that I made when I was seven." Yes, seven. Mom said that she would sit on the floor at her granny's knee when she was quilting. As her granny would throw the pink fabric scraps onto the floor, my mom would pick them up and cut them into tiny squares and sew them together to make a block. This quilt, filled with tiny stitches, took two years to complete. To look at this quilt you would never believe that it was made by a young girl not yet even in the double digits in age. It was in quite good shape consider- ing the fabric was over eighty years old. I think of the patience that she had. I think of the love that her granny had for her and her ten siblings. 10 girls, 1 boy. Each girl was taught to quilt, cro- chet, churn milk into butter and make not only their food but their clothes from scratch. Vegetables from the sum- mer garden were canned and would get them through the cold winters. This was the Great Depression. Everyone around them was poor. Some were just poorer. The canning, the quilting and sew- ing were simply a way of life. A way of life that I now treasure. That quilt will soon hang over an an- tique wooden ladder in my home. It is a bit frayed and worn. For me, that adds to its value. A treasure is not how your bank account sees things, it's how your heart sees them. For me, my inheritance is not about money. It is about the handmade trea- sures tucked away that hold so much love in them. Keep sending me on those treasure hunts, Mom, I know the generations to come will still feel the love that they hold.

By RICHIE HALLReporter Sports EditorFor the second year in a row the Carmel

girls basketball team had to go to anotherteams floor to try to win a sectionalchampionship

Last year the Greyhounds went toWestfield and won a tough final game Thisyear Carmel played at HamiltonSoutheastern and it was also a tough finalgame But the No 5-ranked Hounds wereable to get past the No 6 Royals 62-57 onSaturday to win the Class 4A Sectional 8title in a game that was worthy of the hypethat preceded it

The victory will send Carmel (22-3) tonext Saturdays Kokomo regional where itwill play Fort Wayne Carroll in the firstgame of the day at 10 am The other gamewill feature two more ranked teams No 2Homestead and No 3 Zionsville face eachother at noon

But before thinking about the regionalthe Greyhounds had to think about theRoyals who played tough on their homefloor in front of energized fans from bothteams

Thats a tough environment to play inbut I said it all along that were ready toplay with our schedule said Carmel coachTod Windlan

Southeastern was too as it got off to afast start The Royals scored the games firsteight points with Bre Lloyd and MaleaJackson each hitting 3s then Lloyd made alayin

The Greyhounds got on the board whensenior Olivia Christy made a 3 then BlakeSmith converted a layin Lloyds layin keptHSE ahead 10-5

Then Amy Dilk got going The Carmeljunior scored eight points for the Houndstaking them up to a 13-12 lead beforeJacksons layin ended the quarter and putthe Royals up 14-13

Tournament time thereve been a lotof games like that where a team jumps onyou and you just kind of got to weather thestorm said Windlan I thought our kidsdid

Carmel got the lead back early in thesecond quarter when Reagan Hune made ajumper to get her team up 17-16 TomiTaiwo helped out with a 3-pointer and soonthe Greyhounds enjoyed a 25-18 lead

Our coach always talks about the twoEs Effort and Education said Taiwo ofher team coming back from HSEs fast startSo we were able to go out and do that andhave poise so that helped us

But the Royals came back going on a10-1 run to lead 28-26 Lloyd started therun with five straight points Carmel

responded with a 6-0 run to end the half asChristys basket at the buzzer put theHounds ahead 32-28

Carmel maintained the lead throughoutthe third quarter at one point going up47-37 the largest lead of the night An earlyfourth-quarter 3 by Taiwo moved theGreyhounds ahead 51-43

The Royals then made another runscoring eight points to tie the game at 51-51Jackson started it with a 3-pointer thenParrish poured in five points A free throwby Taiwo edged Carmel ahead 52-51 butJacksons floater gave HSE the lead at 53-52

Christy grabbed the lead right back forCarmel with another 3-pointer but HSEtied things up again when Tayah Irvintapped a missed a shot into the basket Dilkfollowed that with a layin to put Carmel up57-55 and the Greyhounds held on fromthere with Dilk going 5-of-6 from thefree-throw line to seal the game

We practice those every day said Dilkof her free throws The crowd obviouslywas into it but you got to block that out asa player I just got up there I didnt thinktwice about it and I just did my normalroutine muscle memory

Dilk finished the game with 24 pointsChristy threw in three 3-pointers on her wayto 11 points while Taiwo made two 3s tofinish with 10 points Blake Smith had sixrebounds

Im ecstatic said Christy Losingnever crossed my mind I never let it crossmy mind because I didnt want it to be mylast game because I love to play with thesegirls Even though Im the only senior itgets a little tough sometimes But we havefun and I definitely didnt want this to bemy last game

Lloyd a senior for HSE who will playDivision I basketball at Wright StateUniversity next fall finished the game with16 points six rebounds and six assistsJackson scored 14 points and Parrish had12 Amaya Hamilton pulled five reboundsfor the Royals who finished their season at19-6

Our medley relay really came throughsaid Fishers coach Jay Chambers We hada bunch of freshmen and untested people onthat although we had a couple senior leadersin the middle The freshmen did anoutstanding job on the beginning and on theend Getting the state cut in that that was apleasant surprise They had to drop aboutfive seconds to do that

Our free relays are really strong werereal happy Although the 200 free relay wasa little surprising Thats a good schoolrecord that they broke with someoutstanding Division I swimmers on it

Chambers was happy with his individualswimmers as well

We had so many nice fast swims andSoutheastern swam so well that they madeus swim fast in order to win the meet

The Royals opened the meet with a winin the medley relay with Abigail HarterMadison Kertin Hannah Pugh and SydneyKnurek racing to victory Harter afreshman would also win the backstrokewith Pugh taking first in the butterfly EmilyBarnes won the 50 freestyle

Hamilton Heightsrsquo Lucy Uhrick placed 11th in the individual medley

Its getting to be a habit for theNoblesville boys basketball team thiswinning tough games thing

Its also a good habit to have The Millerswon their second consecutive gameSaturday afternoon defeating MountVernon 34-32 at The Mill This victory cameless than 48 hours after Noblesville wonanother screamer over Brownsburg by thesame two-point margin

Once again the Millers showedtoughness and determination in the finalminutes of a game doing whatever they hadto do to get the job done

I think were playing exactly the waywe need to play to win said Noblesvillecoach Brian McCauley And Im proud ofour guys for being intelligent and beingresilient being tough Theyve been winnersand Im proud of that

In order to win the Millers had to holdoff a furious charge by the MaraudersNoblesville led 30-20 early in the fourthquarter reaching that 10-point advantageafter Rico Duncan hit a 3-pointer

Meanwhile the Millers defense wasdoing a number on Mount Vernon and thatkept the visitors score at 20 for most of thethird quarter and well into the fourth TheMarauders finally broke out of that scorelesswindow when James McCloud made a layinaround the 515 mark

But that got Mount Vernon going and itused a pair of 3-pointers and a couple freethrows to tie the game up at 30-30 with twominutes left Duncan gave Noblesville thelead back when he made two foul shots ofhis own with 147 left

A couple of possessions later theMarauders tied the game again whenMcCloud scored a rebound basket with 413seconds left But the Millers answered withNolan Ginther making a layin with 54seconds left and making it a two-point gameagain

McCauley said Ginthers basket was allabout fundamentals - jump stop got theguy off-balance and then used thebackboard for the game winner said thecoach So Im proud of him for that

But - just like in the Brownsburg game- Noblesville had a couple fouls to give TheMillers quickly fouled Mount Vernon tostop the clock with 38 seconds left TheMarauders inbounded again but this timeinstead of a foul Noblesville caused a

deflection Duncan then grabbed the balland was able to hold on to it until the clockran out

He was trying to foul said McCauleyWe were being physical Fortunately wegot a deflection there

It was a defensive game as evidencedby the first quarter of 6-5 The Millers werethe leaders after one Ginther scored fourpoints and Corby Mertens added two more

Mount Vernon got going in the secondperiod leading 18-11 late in the quarterbefore a jump shot cut that advantage to18-13 and that would be the halftime scoreIt would also be the beginning of an 8-0Noblesville run with the Millers scoring theother six points of that run to begin thesecond half

With that an 18-11 second-quarterdeficit became a 19-18 third-quarter leadGinther scored another four points withMertens making a layin as well TheMarauders briefly got the lead back with aLogan Smith basket but Duncan answeredwith a layin That made the score 21-20 andwhile Noblesville would be tied thosecouple times in the fourth quarter it wouldnever trail again

Noblesville outscored Mount Vernon14-2 in the third period

I thought our third quarter wasphenomenal said McCauley

Mertens scored 13 points with Gintheradding 10 points and pulling nine reboundsDuncan finished with nine points

The Millers are now 9-9 and play atArsenal Tech next Saturday

Allenrsquos season highs leadPacers to sixth straight win

By WHEAT HOTCHKISSCourtesy nbacompacersEven an injury to a key starter couldnt

slow down the streaking Indiana PacersStarting power forward Thaddeus

Young was in street clothes on Saturdaynight nursing a sprained shooting wristsustained in the fourth quarter of Fridayswin in Brooklyn

But Lavoy Allen Youngs replacementin the starting lineup set season highs with18 points and 11 rebounds to lead Indiana(28-22) to a 105-84 victory over Detroit(23-28)

It was the sixth straight win for thePacers who are now officially on theirlongest winning streak of the season

Allen celebrating his 28th birthdaywas 8-for-14 from the field and collectedfive offensive boards while recording hisfirst double-double of the season

Youve just got to be ready to playAllen said I know all my teammates Iknow their tendencies so no matter whoIm on the floor with I know how to playmy role

He was huge for us All-Star forwardPaul George added He kept a lot of playsalive (we) got a lot of second-chanceopportunities from him And offensivelyhe was confident shooting the midrangethe pick-and-pop and finishing at the rim

George led all scorers with 21 pointsand four assists knocking down 9-of-14shots

The first quarter was a back-and-forthaffair featuring six ties and eight leadchanges Paul George scored nine pointsin the period for Indiana but TobiasHarris jumper with 53 seconds left gaveDetroit a 32-30 lead heading into thesecond

The game remained close all the wayup until halftime but the Pacers openedup a modest lead when Jeff Teague reeledoff six unanswered points in a 53-secondspan midway through the second quarter

But the Pistons eventually erased thatdeficit tying the game on Jon Leuersfastbreak layup with 467 secondsremaining For the second straight quarterthe Pistons buried a contested jumper totake the lead in the final seconds this timeon Marcus Morris 3-pointer with 39seconds remaining

Midway through the third quarter thePacers put together a 12-0 run to take thefirst double-digit lead of the game Allenscored six points during that stretch whichultimately gave the hosts a 78-65 lead with321 left in the period

One stop after another just fueled usGeorge said Getting those stops it fueledus energy-wise We were the hometeamIt felt like their energy was kind ofdrained so we just kept our foot on (thegas)

The Pistons trimmed the deficit toeight points in the opening seconds of thefourth quarter but Al Jeffersons layupwith 1012 to play pushed the margin backto double digits and Detroit neverseriously threatened the rest of the way

Indiana has won each of its first threemeetings with the Pistons so far thisseason The Pacers won in Detroit on Dec17 and Jan 3 The two teams concludetheir regular season series with anothergame at The Fieldhouse on March 8

In addition to George and Allen fourother Pacers players scored in doublefigures Teague had 13 points and sevenassists Myles Turner CJ Miles and AlJefferson all also had 13 points for theBlue amp Gold

Morris led the Pistons with 19 pointssix rebounds and four assists Leuer added15 points and Andre Drummond had 13points and nine boards in the loss

The Pacers continue a three-gamehomestand on Monday night against theOklahoma City Thunder Both Young andRodney Stuckey (sprained right ankle)could return to the lineup for that game

By RICHIE HALLReporter Sports EditorFor the second year in a row the Carmel

girls basketball team had to go to anotherteams floor to try to win a sectionalchampionship

Last year the Greyhounds went toWestfield and won a tough final game Thisyear Carmel played at HamiltonSoutheastern and it was also a tough finalgame But the No 5-ranked Hounds wereable to get past the No 6 Royals 62-57 onSaturday to win the Class 4A Sectional 8title in a game that was worthy of the hypethat preceded it

The victory will send Carmel (22-3) tonext Saturdays Kokomo regional where itwill play Fort Wayne Carroll in the firstgame of the day at 10 am The other gamewill feature two more ranked teams No 2Homestead and No 3 Zionsville face eachother at noon

But before thinking about the regionalthe Greyhounds had to think about theRoyals who played tough on their homefloor in front of energized fans from bothteams

Thats a tough environment to play inbut I said it all along that were ready toplay with our schedule said Carmel coachTod Windlan

Southeastern was too as it got off to afast start The Royals scored the games firsteight points with Bre Lloyd and MaleaJackson each hitting 3s then Lloyd made alayin

The Greyhounds got on the board whensenior Olivia Christy made a 3 then BlakeSmith converted a layin Lloyds layin keptHSE ahead 10-5

Then Amy Dilk got going The Carmeljunior scored eight points for the Houndstaking them up to a 13-12 lead beforeJacksons layin ended the quarter and putthe Royals up 14-13

Tournament time thereve been a lotof games like that where a team jumps onyou and you just kind of got to weather thestorm said Windlan I thought our kidsdid

Carmel got the lead back early in thesecond quarter when Reagan Hune made ajumper to get her team up 17-16 TomiTaiwo helped out with a 3-pointer and soonthe Greyhounds enjoyed a 25-18 lead

Our coach always talks about the twoEs Effort and Education said Taiwo ofher team coming back from HSEs fast startSo we were able to go out and do that andhave poise so that helped us

But the Royals came back going on a10-1 run to lead 28-26 Lloyd started therun with five straight points Carmel

responded with a 6-0 run to end the half asChristys basket at the buzzer put theHounds ahead 32-28

Carmel maintained the lead throughoutthe third quarter at one point going up47-37 the largest lead of the night An earlyfourth-quarter 3 by Taiwo moved theGreyhounds ahead 51-43

The Royals then made another runscoring eight points to tie the game at 51-51Jackson started it with a 3-pointer thenParrish poured in five points A free throwby Taiwo edged Carmel ahead 52-51 butJacksons floater gave HSE the lead at 53-52

Christy grabbed the lead right back forCarmel with another 3-pointer but HSEtied things up again when Tayah Irvintapped a missed a shot into the basket Dilkfollowed that with a layin to put Carmel up57-55 and the Greyhounds held on fromthere with Dilk going 5-of-6 from thefree-throw line to seal the game

We practice those every day said Dilkof her free throws The crowd obviouslywas into it but you got to block that out asa player I just got up there I didnt thinktwice about it and I just did my normalroutine muscle memory

Dilk finished the game with 24 pointsChristy threw in three 3-pointers on her wayto 11 points while Taiwo made two 3s tofinish with 10 points Blake Smith had sixrebounds

Im ecstatic said Christy Losingnever crossed my mind I never let it crossmy mind because I didnt want it to be mylast game because I love to play with thesegirls Even though Im the only senior itgets a little tough sometimes But we havefun and I definitely didnt want this to bemy last game

Lloyd a senior for HSE who will playDivision I basketball at Wright StateUniversity next fall finished the game with16 points six rebounds and six assistsJackson scored 14 points and Parrish had12 Amaya Hamilton pulled five reboundsfor the Royals who finished their season at19-6

Our free relays are really strong werereal happy Although the 200 free relay wasa little surprising Thats a good schoolrecord that they broke with someoutstanding Division I swimmers on it

Chambers was happy with his individualswimmers as well

We had so many nice fast swims andSoutheastern swam so well that they madeus swim fast in order to win the meet

The Royals opened the meet with a winin the medley relay with Abigail HarterMadison Kertin Hannah Pugh and SydneyKnurek racing to victory Harter afreshman would also win the backstrokewith Pugh taking first in the butterfly EmilyBarnes won the 50 freestyle

Hamilton Heightsrsquo Lucy Uhrick placed 11th in the individual medley

Its getting to be a habit for theNoblesville boys basketball team thiswinning tough games thing

Its also a good habit to have The Millerswon their second consecutive gameSaturday afternoon defeating MountVernon 34-32 at The Mill This victory cameless than 48 hours after Noblesville wonanother screamer over Brownsburg by thesame two-point margin

Once again the Millers showedtoughness and determination in the finalminutes of a game doing whatever they hadto do to get the job done

I think were playing exactly the waywe need to play to win said Noblesvillecoach Brian McCauley And Im proud ofour guys for being intelligent and beingresilient being tough Theyve been winnersand Im proud of that

In order to win the Millers had to holdoff a furious charge by the MaraudersNoblesville led 30-20 early in the fourthquarter reaching that 10-point advantageafter Rico Duncan hit a 3-pointer

Meanwhile the Millers defense wasdoing a number on Mount Vernon and thatkept the visitors score at 20 for most of thethird quarter and well into the fourth TheMarauders finally broke out of that scorelesswindow when James McCloud made a layinaround the 515 mark

But that got Mount Vernon going and itused a pair of 3-pointers and a couple freethrows to tie the game up at 30-30 with twominutes left Duncan gave Noblesville thelead back when he made two foul shots ofhis own with 147 left

A couple of possessions later theMarauders tied the game again whenMcCloud scored a rebound basket with 413seconds left But the Millers answered withNolan Ginther making a layin with 54seconds left and making it a two-point gameagain

McCauley said Ginthers basket was allabout fundamentals - jump stop got theguy off-balance and then used thebackboard for the game winner said thecoach So Im proud of him for that

But - just like in the Brownsburg game- Noblesville had a couple fouls to give TheMillers quickly fouled Mount Vernon tostop the clock with 38 seconds left TheMarauders inbounded again but this timeinstead of a foul Noblesville caused a

deflection Duncan then grabbed the balland was able to hold on to it until the clockran out

He was trying to foul said McCauleyWe were being physical Fortunately wegot a deflection there

It was a defensive game as evidencedby the first quarter of 6-5 The Millers werethe leaders after one Ginther scored fourpoints and Corby Mertens added two more

Mount Vernon got going in the secondperiod leading 18-11 late in the quarterbefore a jump shot cut that advantage to18-13 and that would be the halftime scoreIt would also be the beginning of an 8-0Noblesville run with the Millers scoring theother six points of that run to begin thesecond half

With that an 18-11 second-quarterdeficit became a 19-18 third-quarter leadGinther scored another four points withMertens making a layin as well TheMarauders briefly got the lead back with aLogan Smith basket but Duncan answeredwith a layin That made the score 21-20 andwhile Noblesville would be tied thosecouple times in the fourth quarter it wouldnever trail again

Noblesville outscored Mount Vernon14-2 in the third period

I thought our third quarter wasphenomenal said McCauley

Mertens scored 13 points with Gintheradding 10 points and pulling nine reboundsDuncan finished with nine points

The Millers are now 9-9 and play atArsenal Tech next Saturday

Allenrsquos season highs leadPacers to sixth straight win

By WHEAT HOTCHKISSCourtesy nbacompacersEven an injury to a key starter couldnt

slow down the streaking Indiana PacersStarting power forward Thaddeus

Young was in street clothes on Saturdaynight nursing a sprained shooting wristsustained in the fourth quarter of Fridayswin in Brooklyn

But Lavoy Allen Youngs replacementin the starting lineup set season highs with18 points and 11 rebounds to lead Indiana(28-22) to a 105-84 victory over Detroit(23-28)

It was the sixth straight win for thePacers who are now officially on theirlongest winning streak of the season

Allen celebrating his 28th birthdaywas 8-for-14 from the field and collectedfive offensive boards while recording hisfirst double-double of the season

Youve just got to be ready to playAllen said I know all my teammates Iknow their tendencies so no matter whoIm on the floor with I know how to playmy role

He was huge for us All-Star forwardPaul George added He kept a lot of playsalive (we) got a lot of second-chanceopportunities from him And offensivelyhe was confident shooting the midrangethe pick-and-pop and finishing at the rim

George led all scorers with 21 pointsand four assists knocking down 9-of-14shots

The first quarter was a back-and-forthaffair featuring six ties and eight leadchanges Paul George scored nine pointsin the period for Indiana but TobiasHarris jumper with 53 seconds left gaveDetroit a 32-30 lead heading into thesecond

The game remained close all the wayup until halftime but the Pacers openedup a modest lead when Jeff Teague reeledoff six unanswered points in a 53-secondspan midway through the second quarter

But the Pistons eventually erased thatdeficit tying the game on Jon Leuersfastbreak layup with 467 secondsremaining For the second straight quarterthe Pistons buried a contested jumper totake the lead in the final seconds this timeon Marcus Morris 3-pointer with 39seconds remaining

Midway through the third quarter thePacers put together a 12-0 run to take thefirst double-digit lead of the game Allenscored six points during that stretch whichultimately gave the hosts a 78-65 lead with321 left in the period

One stop after another just fueled usGeorge said Getting those stops it fueledus energy-wise We were the hometeamIt felt like their energy was kind ofdrained so we just kept our foot on (thegas)

The Pistons trimmed the deficit toeight points in the opening seconds of thefourth quarter but Al Jeffersons layupwith 1012 to play pushed the margin backto double digits and Detroit neverseriously threatened the rest of the way

By RICHIE HALLReporter Sports EditorFor the second year in a row the Carmel

girls basketball team had to go to anotherteams floor to try to win a sectionalchampionship

Last year the Greyhounds went toWestfield and won a tough final game Thisyear Carmel played at HamiltonSoutheastern and it was also a tough finalgame But the No 5-ranked Hounds wereable to get past the No 6 Royals 62-57 onSaturday to win the Class 4A Sectional 8title in a game that was worthy of the hypethat preceded it

The victory will send Carmel (22-3) tonext Saturdays Kokomo regional where itwill play Fort Wayne Carroll in the firstgame of the day at 10 am The other gamewill feature two more ranked teams No 2Homestead and No 3 Zionsville face eachother at noon

But before thinking about the regionalthe Greyhounds had to think about theRoyals who played tough on their homefloor in front of energized fans from bothteams

Thats a tough environment to play inbut I said it all along that were ready toplay with our schedule said Carmel coachTod Windlan

Southeastern was too as it got off to afast start The Royals scored the games firsteight points with Bre Lloyd and MaleaJackson each hitting 3s then Lloyd made alayin

The Greyhounds got on the board whensenior Olivia Christy made a 3 then BlakeSmith converted a layin Lloyds layin keptHSE ahead 10-5

Then Amy Dilk got going The Carmeljunior scored eight points for the Houndstaking them up to a 13-12 lead beforeJacksons layin ended the quarter and putthe Royals up 14-13

Tournament time thereve been a lotof games like that where a team jumps onyou and you just kind of got to weather thestorm said Windlan I thought our kidsdid

Carmel got the lead back early in thesecond quarter when Reagan Hune made ajumper to get her team up 17-16 TomiTaiwo helped out with a 3-pointer and soonthe Greyhounds enjoyed a 25-18 lead

Our coach always talks about the twoEs Effort and Education said Taiwo ofher team coming back from HSEs fast startSo we were able to go out and do that andhave poise so that helped us

But the Royals came back going on a10-1 run to lead 28-26 Lloyd started therun with five straight points Carmel

responded with a 6-0 run to end the half asChristys basket at the buzzer put theHounds ahead 32-28

Carmel maintained the lead throughoutthe third quarter at one point going up47-37 the largest lead of the night An earlyfourth-quarter 3 by Taiwo moved theGreyhounds ahead 51-43

The Royals then made another runscoring eight points to tie the game at 51-51Jackson started it with a 3-pointer thenParrish poured in five points A free throwby Taiwo edged Carmel ahead 52-51 butJacksons floater gave HSE the lead at 53-52

Christy grabbed the lead right back forCarmel with another 3-pointer but HSEtied things up again when Tayah Irvintapped a missed a shot into the basket Dilkfollowed that with a layin to put Carmel up57-55 and the Greyhounds held on fromthere with Dilk going 5-of-6 from thefree-throw line to seal the game

We practice those every day said Dilkof her free throws The crowd obviouslywas into it but you got to block that out asa player I just got up there I didnt thinktwice about it and I just did my normalroutine muscle memory

Dilk finished the game with 24 pointsChristy threw in three 3-pointers on her wayto 11 points while Taiwo made two 3s tofinish with 10 points Blake Smith had sixrebounds

Im ecstatic said Christy Losingnever crossed my mind I never let it crossmy mind because I didnt want it to be mylast game because I love to play with thesegirls Even though Im the only senior itgets a little tough sometimes But we havefun and I definitely didnt want this to bemy last game

Lloyd a senior for HSE who will playDivision I basketball at Wright StateUniversity next fall finished the game with16 points six rebounds and six assistsJackson scored 14 points and Parrish had12 Amaya Hamilton pulled five reboundsfor the Royals who finished their season at19-6

Our medley relay really came throughsaid Fishers coach Jay Chambers We hada bunch of freshmen and untested people onthat although we had a couple senior leadersin the middle The freshmen did anoutstanding job on the beginning and on theend Getting the state cut in that that was apleasant surprise They had to drop aboutfive seconds to do that

Our free relays are really strong werereal happy Although the 200 free relay wasa little surprising Thats a good schoolrecord that they broke with someoutstanding Division I swimmers on it

Chambers was happy with his individualswimmers as well

We had so many nice fast swims andSoutheastern swam so well that they madeus swim fast in order to win the meet

The Royals opened the meet with a winin the medley relay with Abigail HarterMadison Kertin Hannah Pugh and SydneyKnurek racing to victory Harter afreshman would also win the backstrokewith Pugh taking first in the butterfly EmilyBarnes won the 50 freestyle

SWIM From Page 7

Hamilton Heightsrsquo Lucy Uhrick placed 11th in the individual medley

Its getting to be a habit for theNoblesville boys basketball team thiswinning tough games thing

Its also a good habit to have The Millerswon their second consecutive gameSaturday afternoon defeating MountVernon 34-32 at The Mill This victory cameless than 48 hours after Noblesville wonanother screamer over Brownsburg by thesame two-point margin

Once again the Millers showedtoughness and determination in the finalminutes of a game doing whatever they hadto do to get the job done

I think were playing exactly the waywe need to play to win said Noblesvillecoach Brian McCauley And Im proud ofour guys for being intelligent and beingresilient being tough Theyve been winnersand Im proud of that

In order to win the Millers had to holdoff a furious charge by the MaraudersNoblesville led 30-20 early in the fourthquarter reaching that 10-point advantageafter Rico Duncan hit a 3-pointer

Meanwhile the Millers defense wasdoing a number on Mount Vernon and thatkept the visitors score at 20 for most of thethird quarter and well into the fourth TheMarauders finally broke out of that scorelesswindow when James McCloud made a layinaround the 515 mark

But that got Mount Vernon going and itused a pair of 3-pointers and a couple freethrows to tie the game up at 30-30 with twominutes left Duncan gave Noblesville thelead back when he made two foul shots ofhis own with 147 left

A couple of possessions later theMarauders tied the game again whenMcCloud scored a rebound basket with 413seconds left But the Millers answered withNolan Ginther making a layin with 54seconds left and making it a two-point gameagain

McCauley said Ginthers basket was allabout fundamentals - jump stop got theguy off-balance and then used thebackboard for the game winner said thecoach So Im proud of him for that

But - just like in the Brownsburg game- Noblesville had a couple fouls to give TheMillers quickly fouled Mount Vernon tostop the clock with 38 seconds left TheMarauders inbounded again but this timeinstead of a foul Noblesville caused a

deflection Duncan then grabbed the balland was able to hold on to it until the clockran out

He was trying to foul said McCauleyWe were being physical Fortunately wegot a deflection there

It was a defensive game as evidencedby the first quarter of 6-5 The Millers werethe leaders after one Ginther scored fourpoints and Corby Mertens added two more

Mount Vernon got going in the secondperiod leading 18-11 late in the quarterbefore a jump shot cut that advantage to18-13 and that would be the halftime scoreIt would also be the beginning of an 8-0Noblesville run with the Millers scoring theother six points of that run to begin thesecond half

With that an 18-11 second-quarterdeficit became a 19-18 third-quarter leadGinther scored another four points withMertens making a layin as well TheMarauders briefly got the lead back with aLogan Smith basket but Duncan answeredwith a layin That made the score 21-20 andwhile Noblesville would be tied thosecouple times in the fourth quarter it wouldnever trail again

Noblesville outscored Mount Vernon14-2 in the third period

I thought our third quarter wasphenomenal said McCauley

Mertens scored 13 points with Gintheradding 10 points and pulling nine reboundsDuncan finished with nine points

The Millers are now 9-9 and play atArsenal Tech next Saturday

Allenrsquos season highs leadPacers to sixth straight win

By WHEAT HOTCHKISSCourtesy nbacompacersEven an injury to a key starter couldnt

slow down the streaking Indiana PacersStarting power forward Thaddeus

Young was in street clothes on Saturdaynight nursing a sprained shooting wristsustained in the fourth quarter of Fridayswin in Brooklyn

But Lavoy Allen Youngs replacementin the starting lineup set season highs with18 points and 11 rebounds to lead Indiana(28-22) to a 105-84 victory over Detroit(23-28)

It was the sixth straight win for thePacers who are now officially on theirlongest winning streak of the season

Allen celebrating his 28th birthdaywas 8-for-14 from the field and collectedfive offensive boards while recording hisfirst double-double of the season

Youve just got to be ready to playAllen said I know all my teammates Iknow their tendencies so no matter whoIm on the floor with I know how to playmy role

He was huge for us All-Star forwardPaul George added He kept a lot of playsalive (we) got a lot of second-chanceopportunities from him And offensivelyhe was confident shooting the midrangethe pick-and-pop and finishing at the rim

George led all scorers with 21 pointsand four assists knocking down 9-of-14shots

The first quarter was a back-and-forthaffair featuring six ties and eight leadchanges Paul George scored nine pointsin the period for Indiana but TobiasHarris jumper with 53 seconds left gaveDetroit a 32-30 lead heading into thesecond

The game remained close all the wayup until halftime but the Pacers openedup a modest lead when Jeff Teague reeledoff six unanswered points in a 53-secondspan midway through the second quarter

But the Pistons eventually erased thatdeficit tying the game on Jon Leuersfastbreak layup with 467 secondsremaining For the second straight quarterthe Pistons buried a contested jumper totake the lead in the final seconds this timeon Marcus Morris 3-pointer with 39seconds remaining

Midway through the third quarter thePacers put together a 12-0 run to take thefirst double-digit lead of the game Allenscored six points during that stretch whichultimately gave the hosts a 78-65 lead with321 left in the period

One stop after another just fueled usGeorge said Getting those stops it fueledus energy-wise We were the hometeamIt felt like their energy was kind ofdrained so we just kept our foot on (thegas)

The Pistons trimmed the deficit toeight points in the opening seconds of thefourth quarter but Al Jeffersons layupwith 1012 to play pushed the margin backto double digits and Detroit neverseriously threatened the rest of the way

Indiana has won each of its first threemeetings with the Pistons so far thisseason The Pacers won in Detroit on Dec17 and Jan 3 The two teams concludetheir regular season series with anothergame at The Fieldhouse on March 8

In addition to George and Allen fourother Pacers players scored in doublefigures Teague had 13 points and sevenassists Myles Turner CJ Miles and AlJefferson all also had 13 points for theBlue amp Gold

Morris led the Pistons with 19 pointssix rebounds and four assists Leuer added15 points and Andre Drummond had 13points and nine boards in the loss

The Pacers continue a three-gamehomestand on Monday night against theOklahoma City Thunder Both Young andRodney Stuckey (sprained right ankle)could return to the lineup for that game

By RICHIE HALLReporter Sports EditorFor the second year in a row the Carmel

girls basketball team had to go to anotherteams floor to try to win a sectionalchampionship

Last year the Greyhounds went toWestfield and won a tough final game Thisyear Carmel played at HamiltonSoutheastern and it was also a tough finalgame But the No 5-ranked Hounds wereable to get past the No 6 Royals 62-57 onSaturday to win the Class 4A Sectional 8title in a game that was worthy of the hypethat preceded it

The victory will send Carmel (22-3) tonext Saturdays Kokomo regional where itwill play Fort Wayne Carroll in the firstgame of the day at 10 am The other gamewill feature two more ranked teams No 2Homestead and No 3 Zionsville face eachother at noon

But before thinking about the regionalthe Greyhounds had to think about theRoyals who played tough on their homefloor in front of energized fans from bothteams

Thats a tough environment to play inbut I said it all along that were ready toplay with our schedule said Carmel coachTod Windlan

Southeastern was too as it got off to afast start The Royals scored the games firsteight points with Bre Lloyd and MaleaJackson each hitting 3s then Lloyd made alayin

The Greyhounds got on the board whensenior Olivia Christy made a 3 then BlakeSmith converted a layin Lloyds layin keptHSE ahead 10-5

Then Amy Dilk got going The Carmeljunior scored eight points for the Houndstaking them up to a 13-12 lead beforeJacksons layin ended the quarter and putthe Royals up 14-13

Tournament time thereve been a lotof games like that where a team jumps onyou and you just kind of got to weather thestorm said Windlan I thought our kidsdid

Carmel got the lead back early in thesecond quarter when Reagan Hune made ajumper to get her team up 17-16 TomiTaiwo helped out with a 3-pointer and soonthe Greyhounds enjoyed a 25-18 lead

Our coach always talks about the twoEs Effort and Education said Taiwo ofher team coming back from HSEs fast startSo we were able to go out and do that andhave poise so that helped us

But the Royals came back going on a10-1 run to lead 28-26 Lloyd started therun with five straight points Carmel

responded with a 6-0 run to end the half asChristys basket at the buzzer put theHounds ahead 32-28

Carmel maintained the lead throughoutthe third quarter at one point going up47-37 the largest lead of the night An earlyfourth-quarter 3 by Taiwo moved theGreyhounds ahead 51-43

The Royals then made another runscoring eight points to tie the game at 51-51Jackson started it with a 3-pointer thenParrish poured in five points A free throwby Taiwo edged Carmel ahead 52-51 butJacksons floater gave HSE the lead at 53-52

Christy grabbed the lead right back forCarmel with another 3-pointer but HSEtied things up again when Tayah Irvintapped a missed a shot into the basket Dilkfollowed that with a layin to put Carmel up57-55 and the Greyhounds held on fromthere with Dilk going 5-of-6 from thefree-throw line to seal the game

We practice those every day said Dilkof her free throws The crowd obviouslywas into it but you got to block that out asa player I just got up there I didnt thinktwice about it and I just did my normalroutine muscle memory

Dilk finished the game with 24 pointsChristy threw in three 3-pointers on her wayto 11 points while Taiwo made two 3s tofinish with 10 points Blake Smith had sixrebounds

Im ecstatic said Christy Losingnever crossed my mind I never let it crossmy mind because I didnt want it to be mylast game because I love to play with thesegirls Even though Im the only senior itgets a little tough sometimes But we havefun and I definitely didnt want this to bemy last game

Lloyd a senior for HSE who will playDivision I basketball at Wright StateUniversity next fall finished the game with16 points six rebounds and six assistsJackson scored 14 points and Parrish had12 Amaya Hamilton pulled five reboundsfor the Royals who finished their season at19-6

Our medley relay really came throughsaid Fishers coach Jay Chambers We hada bunch of freshmen and untested people onthat although we had a couple senior leadersin the middle The freshmen did anoutstanding job on the beginning and on theend Getting the state cut in that that was apleasant surprise They had to drop aboutfive seconds to do that

Our free relays are really strong werereal happy Although the 200 free relay wasa little surprising Thats a good schoolrecord that they broke with someoutstanding Division I swimmers on it

Chambers was happy with his individualswimmers as well

We had so many nice fast swims andSoutheastern swam so well that they madeus swim fast in order to win the meet

The Royals opened the meet with a winin the medley relay with Abigail HarterMadison Kertin Hannah Pugh and SydneyKnurek racing to victory Harter afreshman would also win the backstrokewith Pugh taking first in the butterfly EmilyBarnes won the 50 freestyle

Its getting to be a habit for theNoblesville boys basketball team thiswinning tough games thing

Its also a good habit to have The Millerswon their second consecutive gameSaturday afternoon defeating MountVernon 34-32 at The Mill This victory cameless than 48 hours after Noblesville wonanother screamer over Brownsburg by thesame two-point margin

Once again the Millers showedtoughness and determination in the finalminutes of a game doing whatever they hadto do to get the job done

I think were playing exactly the waywe need to play to win said Noblesvillecoach Brian McCauley And Im proud ofour guys for being intelligent and beingresilient being tough Theyve been winnersand Im proud of that

In order to win the Millers had to holdoff a furious charge by the MaraudersNoblesville led 30-20 early in the fourthquarter reaching that 10-point advantageafter Rico Duncan hit a 3-pointer

Meanwhile the Millers defense wasdoing a number on Mount Vernon and thatkept the visitors score at 20 for most of thethird quarter and well into the fourth TheMarauders finally broke out of that scorelesswindow when James McCloud made a layinaround the 515 mark

But that got Mount Vernon going and itused a pair of 3-pointers and a couple freethrows to tie the game up at 30-30 with twominutes left Duncan gave Noblesville thelead back when he made two foul shots ofhis own with 147 left

A couple of possessions later theMarauders tied the game again whenMcCloud scored a rebound basket with 413seconds left But the Millers answered withNolan Ginther making a layin with 54seconds left and making it a two-point gameagain

McCauley said Ginthers basket was allabout fundamentals - jump stop got theguy off-balance and then used thebackboard for the game winner said thecoach So Im proud of him for that

But - just like in the Brownsburg game- Noblesville had a couple fouls to give TheMillers quickly fouled Mount Vernon tostop the clock with 38 seconds left TheMarauders inbounded again but this timeinstead of a foul Noblesville caused a

deflection Duncan then grabbed the balland was able to hold on to it until the clockran out

He was trying to foul said McCauleyWe were being physical Fortunately wegot a deflection there

It was a defensive game as evidencedby the first quarter of 6-5 The Millers werethe leaders after one Ginther scored fourpoints and Corby Mertens added two more

Mount Vernon got going in the secondperiod leading 18-11 late in the quarterbefore a jump shot cut that advantage to18-13 and that would be the halftime scoreIt would also be the beginning of an 8-0Noblesville run with the Millers scoring theother six points of that run to begin thesecond half

With that an 18-11 second-quarterdeficit became a 19-18 third-quarter leadGinther scored another four points withMertens making a layin as well TheMarauders briefly got the lead back with aLogan Smith basket but Duncan answeredwith a layin That made the score 21-20 andwhile Noblesville would be tied thosecouple times in the fourth quarter it wouldnever trail again

Noblesville outscored Mount Vernon14-2 in the third period

I thought our third quarter wasphenomenal said McCauley

Mertens scored 13 points with Gintheradding 10 points and pulling nine reboundsDuncan finished with nine points

The Millers are now 9-9 and play atArsenal Tech next Saturday

By WHEAT HOTCHKISSCourtesy nbacompacersEven an injury to a key starter couldnt

slow down the streaking Indiana PacersStarting power forward Thaddeus

Young was in street clothes on Saturdaynight nursing a sprained shooting wristsustained in the fourth quarter of Fridayswin in Brooklyn

But Lavoy Allen Youngs replacementin the starting lineup set season highs with18 points and 11 rebounds to lead Indiana(28-22) to a 105-84 victory over Detroit(23-28)

It was the sixth straight win for thePacers who are now officially on theirlongest winning streak of the season

Allen celebrating his 28th birthdaywas 8-for-14 from the field and collectedfive offensive boards while recording hisfirst double-double of the season

Youve just got to be ready to playAllen said I know all my teammates Iknow their tendencies so no matter whoIm on the floor with I know how to playmy role

He was huge for us All-Star forwardPaul George added He kept a lot of playsalive (we) got a lot of second-chanceopportunities from him And offensivelyhe was confident shooting the midrangethe pick-and-pop and finishing at the rim

George led all scorers with 21 pointsand four assists knocking down 9-of-14shots

The first quarter was a back-and-forthaffair featuring six ties and eight leadchanges Paul George scored nine pointsin the period for Indiana but TobiasHarris jumper with 53 seconds left gaveDetroit a 32-30 lead heading into thesecond

The game remained close all the wayup until halftime but the Pacers openedup a modest lead when Jeff Teague reeledoff six unanswered points in a 53-secondspan midway through the second quarter

But the Pistons eventually erased thatdeficit tying the game on Jon Leuersfastbreak layup with 467 secondsremaining For the second straight quarterthe Pistons buried a contested jumper totake the lead in the final seconds this timeon Marcus Morris 3-pointer with 39seconds remaining

Midway through the third quarter thePacers put together a 12-0 run to take thefirst double-digit lead of the game Allenscored six points during that stretch whichultimately gave the hosts a 78-65 lead with321 left in the period

One stop after another just fueled usGeorge said Getting those stops it fueledus energy-wise We were the hometeamIt felt like their energy was kind ofdrained so we just kept our foot on (thegas)

The Pistons trimmed the deficit toeight points in the opening seconds of thefourth quarter but Al Jeffersons layupwith 1012 to play pushed the margin backto double digits and Detroit neverseriously threatened the rest of the way

Indiana has won each of its first threemeetings with the Pistons so far thisseason The Pacers won in Detroit on Dec17 and Jan 3 The two teams concludetheir regular season series with anothergame at The Fieldhouse on March 8

In addition to George and Allen fourother Pacers players scored in doublefigures Teague had 13 points and sevenassists Myles Turner CJ Miles and AlJefferson all also had 13 points for theBlue amp Gold

By RICHIE HALLReporter Sports EditorFor the second year in a row the Carmel

girls basketball team had to go to anotherteams floor to try to win a sectionalchampionship

Last year the Greyhounds went toWestfield and won a tough final game Thisyear Carmel played at HamiltonSoutheastern and it was also a tough finalgame But the No 5-ranked Hounds wereable to get past the No 6 Royals 62-57 onSaturday to win the Class 4A Sectional 8title in a game that was worthy of the hypethat preceded it

The victory will send Carmel (22-3) tonext Saturdays Kokomo regional where itwill play Fort Wayne Carroll in the firstgame of the day at 10 am The other gamewill feature two more ranked teams No 2Homestead and No 3 Zionsville face eachother at noon

But before thinking about the regionalthe Greyhounds had to think about theRoyals who played tough on their homefloor in front of energized fans from bothteams

Thats a tough environment to play inbut I said it all along that were ready toplay with our schedule said Carmel coachTod Windlan

Southeastern was too as it got off to afast start The Royals scored the games firsteight points with Bre Lloyd and MaleaJackson each hitting 3s then Lloyd made alayin

The Greyhounds got on the board whensenior Olivia Christy made a 3 then BlakeSmith converted a layin Lloyds layin keptHSE ahead 10-5

Then Amy Dilk got going The Carmeljunior scored eight points for the Houndstaking them up to a 13-12 lead beforeJacksons layin ended the quarter and putthe Royals up 14-13

Tournament time thereve been a lotof games like that where a team jumps onyou and you just kind of got to weather thestorm said Windlan I thought our kidsdid

Carmel got the lead back early in thesecond quarter when Reagan Hune made ajumper to get her team up 17-16 TomiTaiwo helped out with a 3-pointer and soonthe Greyhounds enjoyed a 25-18 lead

Our coach always talks about the twoEs Effort and Education said Taiwo ofher team coming back from HSEs fast startSo we were able to go out and do that andhave poise so that helped us

But the Royals came back going on a10-1 run to lead 28-26 Lloyd started therun with five straight points Carmel

responded with a 6-0 run to end the half asChristys basket at the buzzer put theHounds ahead 32-28

Carmel maintained the lead throughoutthe third quarter at one point going up47-37 the largest lead of the night An earlyfourth-quarter 3 by Taiwo moved theGreyhounds ahead 51-43

The Royals then made another runscoring eight points to tie the game at 51-51Jackson started it with a 3-pointer thenParrish poured in five points A free throwby Taiwo edged Carmel ahead 52-51 butJacksons floater gave HSE the lead at 53-52

Christy grabbed the lead right back forCarmel with another 3-pointer but HSEtied things up again when Tayah Irvintapped a missed a shot into the basket Dilkfollowed that with a layin to put Carmel up57-55 and the Greyhounds held on fromthere with Dilk going 5-of-6 from thefree-throw line to seal the game

We practice those every day said Dilkof her free throws The crowd obviouslywas into it but you got to block that out asa player I just got up there I didnt thinktwice about it and I just did my normalroutine muscle memory

Dilk finished the game with 24 pointsChristy threw in three 3-pointers on her wayto 11 points while Taiwo made two 3s tofinish with 10 points Blake Smith had sixrebounds

Im ecstatic said Christy Losingnever crossed my mind I never let it crossmy mind because I didnt want it to be mylast game because I love to play with thesegirls Even though Im the only senior itgets a little tough sometimes But we havefun and I definitely didnt want this to bemy last game

Lloyd a senior for HSE who will playDivision I basketball at Wright StateUniversity next fall finished the game with16 points six rebounds and six assistsJackson scored 14 points and Parrish had12 Amaya Hamilton pulled five reboundsfor the Royals who finished their season at19-6

Our medley relay really came throughsaid Fishers coach Jay Chambers We hada bunch of freshmen and untested people onthat although we had a couple senior leadersin the middle The freshmen did anoutstanding job on the beginning and on theend Getting the state cut in that that was apleasant surprise They had to drop aboutfive seconds to do that

Our free relays are really strong werereal happy Although the 200 free relay wasa little surprising Thats a good schoolrecord that they broke with someoutstanding Division I swimmers on it

Chambers was happy with his individualswimmers as well

We had so many nice fast swims andSoutheastern swam so well that they madeus swim fast in order to win the meet

The Royals opened the meet with a winin the medley relay with Abigail HarterMadison Kertin Hannah Pugh and SydneyKnurek racing to victory Harter afreshman would also win the backstrokewith Pugh taking first in the butterfly EmilyBarnes won the 50 freestyle

Southeastern also had three diversqualify for regionals Sarah Ballard HalliSiwik and Hannah VanTassel

I think Abby Harter is a rising star inthis sport and we had a lot of kids swimreally well said HSE coach AndyPedersen Emily Barnes Hannah Pughwere fantastic I dont know that Ive everseen a swimmer give as much as HannahTaylor gave today Its hard to even startmentioning names because there were somany good swims

I think were playing exactly the waywe need to play to win said Noblesvillecoach Brian McCauley And Im proud ofour guys for being intelligent and beingresilient being tough Theyve been winnersand Im proud of that

In order to win the Millers had to holdoff a furious charge by the MaraudersNoblesville led 30-20 early in the fourthquarter reaching that 10-point advantageafter Rico Duncan hit a 3-pointer

Meanwhile the Millers defense wasdoing a number on Mount Vernon and thatkept the visitors score at 20 for most of thethird quarter and well into the fourth TheMarauders finally broke out of that scorelesswindow when James McCloud made a layinaround the 515 mark

But that got Mount Vernon going and itused a pair of 3-pointers and a couple freethrows to tie the game up at 30-30 with twominutes left Duncan gave Noblesville thelead back when he made two foul shots ofhis own with 147 left

A couple of possessions later theMarauders tied the game again whenMcCloud scored a rebound basket with 413seconds left But the Millers answered withNolan Ginther making a layin with 54seconds left and making it a two-point gameagain

McCauley said Ginthers basket was allabout fundamentals - jump stop got theguy off-balance and then used thebackboard for the game winner said thecoach So Im proud of him for that

But - just like in the Brownsburg game- Noblesville had a couple fouls to give TheMillers quickly fouled Mount Vernon tostop the clock with 38 seconds left TheMarauders inbounded again but this timeinstead of a foul Noblesville caused a

deflection Duncan then grabbed the balland was able to hold on to it until the clockran out

He was trying to foul said McCauleyWe were being physical Fortunately wegot a deflection there

It was a defensive game as evidencedby the first quarter of 6-5 The Millers werethe leaders after one Ginther scored fourpoints and Corby Mertens added two more

Mount Vernon got going in the secondperiod leading 18-11 late in the quarterbefore a jump shot cut that advantage to18-13 and that would be the halftime scoreIt would also be the beginning of an 8-0Noblesville run with the Millers scoring theother six points of that run to begin thesecond half

With that an 18-11 second-quarterdeficit became a 19-18 third-quarter leadGinther scored another four points withMertens making a layin as well TheMarauders briefly got the lead back with aLogan Smith basket but Duncan answeredwith a layin That made the score 21-20 andwhile Noblesville would be tied thosecouple times in the fourth quarter it wouldnever trail again

Noblesville outscored Mount Vernon14-2 in the third period

I thought our third quarter wasphenomenal said McCauley

Mertens scored 13 points with Gintheradding 10 points and pulling nine reboundsDuncan finished with nine points

The Millers are now 9-9 and play atArsenal Tech next Saturday

Allenrsquos season highs leadPacers to sixth straight win

By WHEAT HOTCHKISSCourtesy nbacompacersEven an injury to a key starter couldnt

slow down the streaking Indiana PacersStarting power forward Thaddeus

Young was in street clothes on Saturdaynight nursing a sprained shooting wristsustained in the fourth quarter of Fridayswin in Brooklyn

But Lavoy Allen Youngs replacementin the starting lineup set season highs with18 points and 11 rebounds to lead Indiana(28-22) to a 105-84 victory over Detroit(23-28)

It was the sixth straight win for thePacers who are now officially on theirlongest winning streak of the season

Allen celebrating his 28th birthdaywas 8-for-14 from the field and collectedfive offensive boards while recording hisfirst double-double of the season

Youve just got to be ready to playAllen said I know all my teammates Iknow their tendencies so no matter whoIm on the floor with I know how to playmy role

He was huge for us All-Star forwardPaul George added He kept a lot of playsalive (we) got a lot of second-chanceopportunities from him And offensivelyhe was confident shooting the midrangethe pick-and-pop and finishing at the rim

George led all scorers with 21 pointsand four assists knocking down 9-of-14shots

The first quarter was a back-and-forthaffair featuring six ties and eight leadchanges Paul George scored nine pointsin the period for Indiana but TobiasHarris jumper with 53 seconds left gaveDetroit a 32-30 lead heading into thesecond

The game remained close all the wayup until halftime but the Pacers openedup a modest lead when Jeff Teague reeledoff six unanswered points in a 53-secondspan midway through the second quarter

But the Pistons eventually erased thatdeficit tying the game on Jon Leuersfastbreak layup with 467 secondsremaining For the second straight quarterthe Pistons buried a contested jumper totake the lead in the final seconds this timeon Marcus Morris 3-pointer with 39seconds remaining

Midway through the third quarter thePacers put together a 12-0 run to take thefirst double-digit lead of the game Allenscored six points during that stretch whichultimately gave the hosts a 78-65 lead with321 left in the period

One stop after another just fueled usGeorge said Getting those stops it fueledus energy-wise We were the hometeamIt felt like their energy was kind ofdrained so we just kept our foot on (thegas)

The Pistons trimmed the deficit toeight points in the opening seconds of thefourth quarter but Al Jeffersons layupwith 1012 to play pushed the margin backto double digits and Detroit neverseriously threatened the rest of the way

Indiana has won each of its first threemeetings with the Pistons so far thisseason The Pacers won in Detroit on Dec17 and Jan 3 The two teams concludetheir regular season series with anothergame at The Fieldhouse on March 8

In addition to George and Allen fourother Pacers players scored in doublefigures Teague had 13 points and sevenassists Myles Turner CJ Miles and AlJefferson all also had 13 points for theBlue amp Gold

Morris led the Pistons with 19 pointssix rebounds and four assists Leuer added15 points and Andre Drummond had 13points and nine boards in the loss

The Pacers continue a three-gamehomestand on Monday night against theOklahoma City Thunder Both Young andRodney Stuckey (sprained right ankle)could return to the lineup for that game

Our medley relay really came throughsaid Fishers coach Jay Chambers We hada bunch of freshmen and untested people onthat although we had a couple senior leadersin the middle The freshmen did anoutstanding job on the beginning and on theend Getting the state cut in that that was apleasant surprise They had to drop aboutfive seconds to do that

Our free relays are really strong werereal happy Although the 200 free relay wasa little surprising Thats a good schoolrecord that they broke with someoutstanding Division I swimmers on it

Chambers was happy with his individualswimmers as well

We had so many nice fast swims andSoutheastern swam so well that they madeus swim fast in order to win the meet

The Royals opened the meet with a winin the medley relay with Abigail HarterMadison Kertin Hannah Pugh and SydneyKnurek racing to victory Harter afreshman would also win the backstrokewith Pugh taking first in the butterfly EmilyBarnes won the 50 freestyle

Southeastern also had three diversqualify for regionals Sarah Ballard HalliSiwik and Hannah VanTassel

Hamilton Heightsrsquo Lucy Uhrick placed 11th in the individual medley

Its getting to be a habit for theNoblesville boys basketball team thiswinning tough games thing

Its also a good habit to have The Millerswon their second consecutive gameSaturday afternoon defeating MountVernon 34-32 at The Mill This victory cameless than 48 hours after Noblesville wonanother screamer over Brownsburg by thesame two-point margin

Once again the Millers showedtoughness and determination in the finalminutes of a game doing whatever they hadto do to get the job done

I think were playing exactly the waywe need to play to win said Noblesvillecoach Brian McCauley And Im proud ofour guys for being intelligent and beingresilient being tough Theyve been winnersand Im proud of that

In order to win the Millers had to holdoff a furious charge by the MaraudersNoblesville led 30-20 early in the fourthquarter reaching that 10-point advantageafter Rico Duncan hit a 3-pointer

Meanwhile the Millers defense wasdoing a number on Mount Vernon and thatkept the visitors score at 20 for most of thethird quarter and well into the fourth TheMarauders finally broke out of that scorelesswindow when James McCloud made a layinaround the 515 mark

But that got Mount Vernon going and itused a pair of 3-pointers and a couple freethrows to tie the game up at 30-30 with twominutes left Duncan gave Noblesville thelead back when he made two foul shots ofhis own with 147 left

A couple of possessions later theMarauders tied the game again whenMcCloud scored a rebound basket with 413seconds left But the Millers answered withNolan Ginther making a layin with 54seconds left and making it a two-point gameagain

McCauley said Ginthers basket was allabout fundamentals - jump stop got theguy off-balance and then used thebackboard for the game winner said thecoach So Im proud of him for that

But - just like in the Brownsburg game- Noblesville had a couple fouls to give TheMillers quickly fouled Mount Vernon tostop the clock with 38 seconds left TheMarauders inbounded again but this timeinstead of a foul Noblesville caused a

deflection Duncan then grabbed the balland was able to hold on to it until the clockran out

He was trying to foul said McCauleyWe were being physical Fortunately wegot a deflection there

It was a defensive game as evidencedby the first quarter of 6-5 The Millers werethe leaders after one Ginther scored fourpoints and Corby Mertens added two more

Mount Vernon got going in the secondperiod leading 18-11 late in the quarterbefore a jump shot cut that advantage to18-13 and that would be the halftime scoreIt would also be the beginning of an 8-0Noblesville run with the Millers scoring theother six points of that run to begin thesecond half

With that an 18-11 second-quarterdeficit became a 19-18 third-quarter leadGinther scored another four points withMertens making a layin as well TheMarauders briefly got the lead back with aLogan Smith basket but Duncan answeredwith a layin That made the score 21-20 andwhile Noblesville would be tied thosecouple times in the fourth quarter it wouldnever trail again

Noblesville outscored Mount Vernon14-2 in the third period

I thought our third quarter wasphenomenal said McCauley

Mertens scored 13 points with Gintheradding 10 points and pulling nine reboundsDuncan finished with nine points

The Millers are now 9-9 and play atArsenal Tech next Saturday

But Lavoy Allen Youngs replacementin the starting lineup set season highs with18 points and 11 rebounds to lead Indiana(28-22) to a 105-84 victory over Detroit(23-28)

It was the sixth straight win for thePacers who are now officially on theirlongest winning streak of the season

Allen celebrating his 28th birthdaywas 8-for-14 from the field and collectedfive offensive boards while recording hisfirst double-double of the season

Youve just got to be ready to playAllen said I know all my teammates Iknow their tendencies so no matter whoIm on the floor with I know how to playmy role

He was huge for us All-Star forwardPaul George added He kept a lot of playsalive (we) got a lot of second-chanceopportunities from him And offensivelyhe was confident shooting the midrangethe pick-and-pop and finishing at the rim

George led all scorers with 21 pointsand four assists knocking down 9-of-14shots

The first quarter was a back-and-forthaffair featuring six ties and eight leadchanges Paul George scored nine pointsin the period for Indiana but TobiasHarris jumper with 53 seconds left gaveDetroit a 32-30 lead heading into thesecond

The game remained close all the wayup until halftime but the Pacers openedup a modest lead when Jeff Teague reeledoff six unanswered points in a 53-secondspan midway through the second quarter

But the Pistons eventually erased thatdeficit tying the game on Jon Leuersfastbreak layup with 467 secondsremaining For the second straight quarterthe Pistons buried a contested jumper totake the lead in the final seconds this timeon Marcus Morris 3-pointer with 39seconds remaining

Midway through the third quarter thePacers put together a 12-0 run to take thefirst double-digit lead of the game Allenscored six points during that stretch whichultimately gave the hosts a 78-65 lead with321 left in the period

One stop after another just fueled usGeorge said Getting those stops it fueledus energy-wise We were the hometeamIt felt like their energy was kind ofdrained so we just kept our foot on (thegas)

The Pistons trimmed the deficit toeight points in the opening seconds of thefourth quarter but Al Jeffersons layupwith 1012 to play pushed the margin backto double digits and Detroit neverseriously threatened the rest of the way

Indiana has won each of its first threemeetings with the Pistons so far thisseason The Pacers won in Detroit on Dec17 and Jan 3 The two teams concludetheir regular season series with anothergame at The Fieldhouse on March 8

In addition to George and Allen fourother Pacers players scored in doublefigures Teague had 13 points and sevenassists Myles Turner CJ Miles and AlJefferson all also had 13 points for theBlue amp Gold

Our medley relay really came throughsaid Fishers coach Jay Chambers We hada bunch of freshmen and untested people onthat although we had a couple senior leadersin the middle The freshmen did anoutstanding job on the beginning and on theend Getting the state cut in that that was apleasant surprise They had to drop aboutfive seconds to do that

Our free relays are really strong werereal happy Although the 200 free relay wasa little surprising Thats a good schoolrecord that they broke with someoutstanding Division I swimmers on it

Chambers was happy with his individualswimmers as well

We had so many nice fast swims andSoutheastern swam so well that they madeus swim fast in order to win the meet

The Royals opened the meet with a winin the medley relay with Abigail HarterMadison Kertin Hannah Pugh and SydneyKnurek racing to victory Harter afreshman would also win the backstrokewith Pugh taking first in the butterfly EmilyBarnes won the 50 freestyle

SWIM From Page 7

Hamilton Heightsrsquo Lucy Uhrick placed 11th in the individual medley

Its getting to be a habit for theNoblesville boys basketball team thiswinning tough games thing

Its also a good habit to have The Millerswon their second consecutive gameSaturday afternoon defeating MountVernon 34-32 at The Mill This victory cameless than 48 hours after Noblesville wonanother screamer over Brownsburg by thesame two-point margin

Once again the Millers showedtoughness and determination in the finalminutes of a game doing whatever they hadto do to get the job done

I think were playing exactly the waywe need to play to win said Noblesvillecoach Brian McCauley And Im proud ofour guys for being intelligent and beingresilient being tough Theyve been winnersand Im proud of that

In order to win the Millers had to holdoff a furious charge by the MaraudersNoblesville led 30-20 early in the fourthquarter reaching that 10-point advantageafter Rico Duncan hit a 3-pointer

Meanwhile the Millers defense wasdoing a number on Mount Vernon and thatkept the visitors score at 20 for most of thethird quarter and well into the fourth TheMarauders finally broke out of that scorelesswindow when James McCloud made a layinaround the 515 mark

But that got Mount Vernon going and itused a pair of 3-pointers and a couple freethrows to tie the game up at 30-30 with twominutes left Duncan gave Noblesville thelead back when he made two foul shots ofhis own with 147 left

A couple of possessions later theMarauders tied the game again whenMcCloud scored a rebound basket with 413seconds left But the Millers answered withNolan Ginther making a layin with 54seconds left and making it a two-point gameagain

McCauley said Ginthers basket was allabout fundamentals - jump stop got theguy off-balance and then used thebackboard for the game winner said thecoach So Im proud of him for that

But - just like in the Brownsburg game- Noblesville had a couple fouls to give TheMillers quickly fouled Mount Vernon tostop the clock with 38 seconds left TheMarauders inbounded again but this timeinstead of a foul Noblesville caused a

deflection Duncan then grabbed the balland was able to hold on to it until the clockran out

He was trying to foul said McCauleyWe were being physical Fortunately wegot a deflection there

It was a defensive game as evidencedby the first quarter of 6-5 The Millers werethe leaders after one Ginther scored fourpoints and Corby Mertens added two more

Mount Vernon got going in the secondperiod leading 18-11 late in the quarterbefore a jump shot cut that advantage to18-13 and that would be the halftime scoreIt would also be the beginning of an 8-0Noblesville run with the Millers scoring theother six points of that run to begin thesecond half

With that an 18-11 second-quarterdeficit became a 19-18 third-quarter leadGinther scored another four points withMertens making a layin as well TheMarauders briefly got the lead back with aLogan Smith basket but Duncan answeredwith a layin That made the score 21-20 andwhile Noblesville would be tied thosecouple times in the fourth quarter it wouldnever trail again

Noblesville outscored Mount Vernon14-2 in the third period

I thought our third quarter wasphenomenal said McCauley

Mertens scored 13 points with Gintheradding 10 points and pulling nine reboundsDuncan finished with nine points

The Millers are now 9-9 and play atArsenal Tech next Saturday

Allenrsquos season highs leadPacers to sixth straight win

By WHEAT HOTCHKISSCourtesy nbacompacersEven an injury to a key starter couldnt

slow down the streaking Indiana PacersStarting power forward Thaddeus

Young was in street clothes on Saturdaynight nursing a sprained shooting wristsustained in the fourth quarter of Fridayswin in Brooklyn

But Lavoy Allen Youngs replacementin the starting lineup set season highs with18 points and 11 rebounds to lead Indiana(28-22) to a 105-84 victory over Detroit(23-28)

It was the sixth straight win for thePacers who are now officially on theirlongest winning streak of the season

Allen celebrating his 28th birthdaywas 8-for-14 from the field and collectedfive offensive boards while recording hisfirst double-double of the season

Youve just got to be ready to playAllen said I know all my teammates Iknow their tendencies so no matter whoIm on the floor with I know how to playmy role

He was huge for us All-Star forwardPaul George added He kept a lot of playsalive (we) got a lot of second-chanceopportunities from him And offensivelyhe was confident shooting the midrangethe pick-and-pop and finishing at the rim

George led all scorers with 21 pointsand four assists knocking down 9-of-14shots

The first quarter was a back-and-forthaffair featuring six ties and eight leadchanges Paul George scored nine pointsin the period for Indiana but TobiasHarris jumper with 53 seconds left gaveDetroit a 32-30 lead heading into thesecond

The game remained close all the wayup until halftime but the Pacers openedup a modest lead when Jeff Teague reeledoff six unanswered points in a 53-secondspan midway through the second quarter

But the Pistons eventually erased thatdeficit tying the game on Jon Leuersfastbreak layup with 467 secondsremaining For the second straight quarterthe Pistons buried a contested jumper totake the lead in the final seconds this timeon Marcus Morris 3-pointer with 39seconds remaining

Midway through the third quarter thePacers put together a 12-0 run to take thefirst double-digit lead of the game Allenscored six points during that stretch whichultimately gave the hosts a 78-65 lead with321 left in the period

One stop after another just fueled usGeorge said Getting those stops it fueledus energy-wise We were the hometeamIt felt like their energy was kind ofdrained so we just kept our foot on (thegas)

The Pistons trimmed the deficit toeight points in the opening seconds of thefourth quarter but Al Jeffersons layupwith 1012 to play pushed the margin backto double digits and Detroit neverseriously threatened the rest of the way

Indiana has won each of its first threemeetings with the Pistons so far thisseason The Pacers won in Detroit on Dec17 and Jan 3 The two teams concludetheir regular season series with anothergame at The Fieldhouse on March 8

In addition to George and Allen fourother Pacers players scored in doublefigures Teague had 13 points and sevenassists Myles Turner CJ Miles and AlJefferson all also had 13 points for theBlue amp Gold

Morris led the Pistons with 19 pointssix rebounds and four assists Leuer added15 points and Andre Drummond had 13points and nine boards in the loss

The Pacers continue a three-gamehomestand on Monday night against theOklahoma City Thunder Both Young andRodney Stuckey (sprained right ankle)could return to the lineup for that game

SWIM From Page 7

Hamilton Heightsrsquo Lucy Uhrick placed 11th in the individual medley

Its getting to be a habit for theNoblesville boys basketball team thiswinning tough games thing

Its also a good habit to have The Millerswon their second consecutive gameSaturday afternoon defeating MountVernon 34-32 at The Mill This victory cameless than 48 hours after Noblesville wonanother screamer over Brownsburg by thesame two-point margin

Once again the Millers showedtoughness and determination in the finalminutes of a game doing whatever they hadto do to get the job done

I think were playing exactly the waywe need to play to win said Noblesvillecoach Brian McCauley And Im proud ofour guys for being intelligent and beingresilient being tough Theyve been winnersand Im proud of that

In order to win the Millers had to holdoff a furious charge by the MaraudersNoblesville led 30-20 early in the fourthquarter reaching that 10-point advantageafter Rico Duncan hit a 3-pointer

Meanwhile the Millers defense wasdoing a number on Mount Vernon and thatkept the visitors score at 20 for most of thethird quarter and well into the fourth TheMarauders finally broke out of that scorelesswindow when James McCloud made a layinaround the 515 mark

But that got Mount Vernon going and itused a pair of 3-pointers and a couple freethrows to tie the game up at 30-30 with twominutes left Duncan gave Noblesville thelead back when he made two foul shots ofhis own with 147 left

A couple of possessions later theMarauders tied the game again whenMcCloud scored a rebound basket with 413seconds left But the Millers answered withNolan Ginther making a layin with 54seconds left and making it a two-point gameagain

McCauley said Ginthers basket was allabout fundamentals - jump stop got theguy off-balance and then used thebackboard for the game winner said thecoach So Im proud of him for that

But - just like in the Brownsburg game- Noblesville had a couple fouls to give TheMillers quickly fouled Mount Vernon tostop the clock with 38 seconds left TheMarauders inbounded again but this timeinstead of a foul Noblesville caused a

deflection Duncan then grabbed the balland was able to hold on to it until the clockran out

He was trying to foul said McCauleyWe were being physical Fortunately wegot a deflection there

It was a defensive game as evidencedby the first quarter of 6-5 The Millers werethe leaders after one Ginther scored fourpoints and Corby Mertens added two more

Mount Vernon got going in the secondperiod leading 18-11 late in the quarterbefore a jump shot cut that advantage to18-13 and that would be the halftime scoreIt would also be the beginning of an 8-0Noblesville run with the Millers scoring theother six points of that run to begin thesecond half

With that an 18-11 second-quarterdeficit became a 19-18 third-quarter leadGinther scored another four points withMertens making a layin as well TheMarauders briefly got the lead back with aLogan Smith basket but Duncan answeredwith a layin That made the score 21-20 andwhile Noblesville would be tied thosecouple times in the fourth quarter it wouldnever trail again

Noblesville outscored Mount Vernon14-2 in the third period

I thought our third quarter wasphenomenal said McCauley

Mertens scored 13 points with Gintheradding 10 points and pulling nine reboundsDuncan finished with nine points

The Millers are now 9-9 and play atArsenal Tech next Saturday

Allenrsquos season highs leadPacers to sixth straight win

By WHEAT HOTCHKISSCourtesy nbacompacersEven an injury to a key starter couldnt

slow down the streaking Indiana PacersStarting power forward Thaddeus

Young was in street clothes on Saturdaynight nursing a sprained shooting wristsustained in the fourth quarter of Fridayswin in Brooklyn

But Lavoy Allen Youngs replacementin the starting lineup set season highs with18 points and 11 rebounds to lead Indiana(28-22) to a 105-84 victory over Detroit(23-28)

It was the sixth straight win for thePacers who are now officially on theirlongest winning streak of the season

Allen celebrating his 28th birthdaywas 8-for-14 from the field and collectedfive offensive boards while recording hisfirst double-double of the season

Youve just got to be ready to playAllen said I know all my teammates Iknow their tendencies so no matter whoIm on the floor with I know how to playmy role

He was huge for us All-Star forwardPaul George added He kept a lot of playsalive (we) got a lot of second-chanceopportunities from him And offensivelyhe was confident shooting the midrangethe pick-and-pop and finishing at the rim

George led all scorers with 21 pointsand four assists knocking down 9-of-14shots

The first quarter was a back-and-forthaffair featuring six ties and eight leadchanges Paul George scored nine pointsin the period for Indiana but TobiasHarris jumper with 53 seconds left gaveDetroit a 32-30 lead heading into thesecond

The game remained close all the wayup until halftime but the Pacers openedup a modest lead when Jeff Teague reeledoff six unanswered points in a 53-secondspan midway through the second quarter

But the Pistons eventually erased thatdeficit tying the game on Jon Leuersfastbreak layup with 467 secondsremaining For the second straight quarterthe Pistons buried a contested jumper totake the lead in the final seconds this timeon Marcus Morris 3-pointer with 39seconds remaining

Midway through the third quarter thePacers put together a 12-0 run to take thefirst double-digit lead of the game Allenscored six points during that stretch whichultimately gave the hosts a 78-65 lead with321 left in the period

One stop after another just fueled usGeorge said Getting those stops it fueledus energy-wise We were the hometeamIt felt like their energy was kind ofdrained so we just kept our foot on (thegas)

The Pistons trimmed the deficit toeight points in the opening seconds of thefourth quarter but Al Jeffersons layupwith 1012 to play pushed the margin backto double digits and Detroit neverseriously threatened the rest of the way

Indiana has won each of its first threemeetings with the Pistons so far thisseason The Pacers won in Detroit on Dec17 and Jan 3 The two teams concludetheir regular season series with anothergame at The Fieldhouse on March 8

In addition to George and Allen fourother Pacers players scored in doublefigures Teague had 13 points and sevenassists Myles Turner CJ Miles and AlJefferson all also had 13 points for theBlue amp Gold

Morris led the Pistons with 19 pointssix rebounds and four assists Leuer added15 points and Andre Drummond had 13points and nine boards in the loss

The Pacers continue a three-gamehomestand on Monday night against theOklahoma City Thunder Both Young andRodney Stuckey (sprained right ankle)could return to the lineup for that game

Its getting to be a habit for theNoblesville boys basketball team thiswinning tough games thing

Its also a good habit to have The Millerswon their second consecutive gameSaturday afternoon defeating MountVernon 34-32 at The Mill This victory cameless than 48 hours after Noblesville wonanother screamer over Brownsburg by thesame two-point margin

Once again the Millers showedtoughness and determination in the finalminutes of a game doing whatever they hadto do to get the job done

I think were playing exactly the waywe need to play to win said Noblesvillecoach Brian McCauley And Im proud ofour guys for being intelligent and beingresilient being tough Theyve been winnersand Im proud of that

In order to win the Millers had to holdoff a furious charge by the MaraudersNoblesville led 30-20 early in the fourthquarter reaching that 10-point advantageafter Rico Duncan hit a 3-pointer

Meanwhile the Millers defense wasdoing a number on Mount Vernon and thatkept the visitors score at 20 for most of thethird quarter and well into the fourth TheMarauders finally broke out of that scorelesswindow when James McCloud made a layinaround the 515 mark

But that got Mount Vernon going and itused a pair of 3-pointers and a couple freethrows to tie the game up at 30-30 with twominutes left Duncan gave Noblesville thelead back when he made two foul shots ofhis own with 147 left

A couple of possessions later theMarauders tied the game again whenMcCloud scored a rebound basket with 413seconds left But the Millers answered withNolan Ginther making a layin with 54seconds left and making it a two-point gameagain

McCauley said Ginthers basket was allabout fundamentals - jump stop got theguy off-balance and then used thebackboard for the game winner said thecoach So Im proud of him for that

But - just like in the Brownsburg game- Noblesville had a couple fouls to give TheMillers quickly fouled Mount Vernon tostop the clock with 38 seconds left TheMarauders inbounded again but this timeinstead of a foul Noblesville caused a

deflection Duncan then grabbed the balland was able to hold on to it until the clockran out

He was trying to foul said McCauleyWe were being physical Fortunately wegot a deflection there

It was a defensive game as evidencedby the first quarter of 6-5 The Millers werethe leaders after one Ginther scored fourpoints and Corby Mertens added two more

Mount Vernon got going in the secondperiod leading 18-11 late in the quarterbefore a jump shot cut that advantage to18-13 and that would be the halftime scoreIt would also be the beginning of an 8-0Noblesville run with the Millers scoring theother six points of that run to begin thesecond half

With that an 18-11 second-quarterdeficit became a 19-18 third-quarter leadGinther scored another four points withMertens making a layin as well TheMarauders briefly got the lead back with aLogan Smith basket but Duncan answeredwith a layin That made the score 21-20 andwhile Noblesville would be tied thosecouple times in the fourth quarter it wouldnever trail again

Noblesville outscored Mount Vernon14-2 in the third period

I thought our third quarter wasphenomenal said McCauley

Mertens scored 13 points with Gintheradding 10 points and pulling nine reboundsDuncan finished with nine points

The Millers are now 9-9 and play atArsenal Tech next Saturday

But Lavoy Allen Youngs replacementin the starting lineup set season highs with18 points and 11 rebounds to lead Indiana(28-22) to a 105-84 victory over Detroit(23-28)

It was the sixth straight win for thePacers who are now officially on theirlongest winning streak of the season

Allen celebrating his 28th birthdaywas 8-for-14 from the field and collectedfive offensive boards while recording hisfirst double-double of the season

Youve just got to be ready to playAllen said I know all my teammates Iknow their tendencies so no matter whoIm on the floor with I know how to playmy role

He was huge for us All-Star forwardPaul George added He kept a lot of playsalive (we) got a lot of second-chanceopportunities from him And offensivelyhe was confident shooting the midrangethe pick-and-pop and finishing at the rim

George led all scorers with 21 pointsand four assists knocking down 9-of-14shots

The first quarter was a back-and-forthaffair featuring six ties and eight leadchanges Paul George scored nine pointsin the period for Indiana but TobiasHarris jumper with 53 seconds left gaveDetroit a 32-30 lead heading into thesecond

The game remained close all the wayup until halftime but the Pacers openedup a modest lead when Jeff Teague reeledoff six unanswered points in a 53-secondspan midway through the second quarter

But the Pistons eventually erased thatdeficit tying the game on Jon Leuersfastbreak layup with 467 secondsremaining For the second straight quarterthe Pistons buried a contested jumper totake the lead in the final seconds this timeon Marcus Morris 3-pointer with 39seconds remaining

Midway through the third quarter thePacers put together a 12-0 run to take thefirst double-digit lead of the game Allenscored six points during that stretch whichultimately gave the hosts a 78-65 lead with321 left in the period

One stop after another just fueled usGeorge said Getting those stops it fueledus energy-wise We were the hometeamIt felt like their energy was kind ofdrained so we just kept our foot on (thegas)

The Pistons trimmed the deficit toeight points in the opening seconds of thefourth quarter but Al Jeffersons layupwith 1012 to play pushed the margin backto double digits and Detroit neverseriously threatened the rest of the way

Indiana has won each of its first threemeetings with the Pistons so far thisseason The Pacers won in Detroit on Dec17 and Jan 3 The two teams concludetheir regular season series with anothergame at The Fieldhouse on March 8

In addition to George and Allen fourother Pacers players scored in doublefigures Teague had 13 points and sevenassists Myles Turner CJ Miles and AlJefferson all also had 13 points for theBlue amp Gold
