Noblesville dominates Frankfort as three Millers outscore Hot Dogs

By CRAIG ADKINS The Noblesville Millers wasted no time at all getting back to the winning side of things on Friday night in a very convincing win over the Frankfort Hot Dogs, 57-28. Frankfort had two leads early at 2-0 and 4-2 and that's all it took to light a fire in the Millers. Junior Xavier Hines tied the game at 2-2, but it was five straight points from fellow junior Jordan Schmidt that jumped Noblesville out to a 7-4 lead that they would only build on for the final three and a half quarters en route to a dominating home floor victory. “Jordan Schmidt played one of his better games as of late and I'm really proud of his focus,” said Noblesville head coach Brian McCauley on the play of his junior point guard. Senior forward Ryan Barnes got his first two buckets on two of his six total offensive rebounds on consecutive possessions and Eagan Keever-Hill topped off the first quarter scoring to spring the Millers to a 13-6 lead after one. The domination continued in the second as Keever-Hill knocked down his second field goal with a jumper from just inside the free throw line. The Miller lead got into double-digits at 17-6 on a steal by junior Jaron Youree on Noblesville's second basket of the second, forcing Frankfort head coach Nathan Van Reporter photo by Kent Graham Duyne to burn his first timeout with 7:36 left Noblesville’s Ryan Barnes earned a double-double of 12 points and 13 rebounds during the Millers’ 57-28 victory over Frankfort until halftime.

By RICHIE HALL Reporter Sports Editor Sheridan found itself close to making a comeback victory at Hobbs Memorial Hall Friday night. After being down 38-22 to Indiana Math & Science Academy at halftime, the Black- hawks got to within two points twice in the fourth quarter. But it was not meant to be, as Sheridan fell to the Knights 63-57. The 'Hawks trailed IMSA 17-14 after the first period, then were outscored 21-8 in the second. Still down 43-30 with 5:56 left in the third quarter, Sheridan went on a 6-0 run. Drake Delph started it with a jumper, then Nick Burnell made consecutive baskets. A 3-pointer by Sean Weitzel got the Blackhawks within 47-41 at the end of the third. Delph then nailed a 3, and Ange Gnamkey followed that with a layin. Sud- denly, Sheridan had cut the Knights' lead to 48-46. IMSA pushed the lead back up to 53-46, but Burnell again hit back-to-back baskets to keep the 'Hawks close. Seconds later, Caleb Duke hit a 3 to get Sheridan within two again, this time at 55-53. Reporter photo by Richie Hall Duke would later drain another triple; that basket got the Blackhawks within 60-57 Sheridan’s Ange Gnamkey scored 14 points for the Blackhawks in their Friday night game with Indiana Math & Science Academy with 30 seconds left.
