Boys grab victory over Huskies on professional court

The Miller boys’ basketball team battled in a thrilling game against the Hamilton Heights Huskies on Dec. 27 at Conseco Fieldhouse, the home of the state’s lone NBA franchise, the Indiana Pacers, during the fourth game of the Ivy Tech Holiday Classic. Noblesville came out triumphant with a 63-54 win over the Huskies. This was the second event for the Noblesville High School athletics at a professional arena this school year, the first being the football team’s loss to Fishers at Lucas Oil Stadium in Aug.

Junior Jake Yeary led the Millers with 17 points, and junior Leland Brown added 11 more along with his team-leading 12 rebounds and five assists. Junior Michael Shipman hit two three-pointers and added 10 points, sophomore Zach Woloshin grabbed seven points, and juniors Michael Deines, Matt Herron, and Andrew Lively each scored five points.
