‘Hounds escape Millers, will play HSE in final

By RICHIE HALL Reporter Sports Editor Sectional games tend to bring out the best in basketball teams, and that was true about the Carmel-Noblesville girls game at Class 4A Sectional 8 in Fishers Friday night. The Millers threw everything they could at the Class 4A No. 2 Greyhounds before Carmel was able to escape with a 50-45 victory. The 'Hounds will play Hamilton Southeastern at 7 p.m. tonight for the sectional title. Noblesville came to play from the beginning, jumping out to a 6-2 lead after Mallory Johnson hit a pair of free throws, and Emily Kiser and Maddie Knight made layins. Jumpers from Reagan Hune and Blake Smith brought Carmel back to tie at 6-6, and the game was on. No lead was safe. Amy Dilk's basket got Carmel up 12-10 late in the first period, but the Millers scored seven unanswered points in a run that extended into the second quarter. Johnson hit a 3-pointer and Kiser scored on a floater to end the first period, then Abby Haley added a couple free throws in the first minute of the second. The Greyhounds answered with an 8-0 run of their own to go up 20-17. Dilk made the first of two free throws, missed the second, but Tomi Taiwo was there to get the rebound back in the basket. Taiwo was fouled on the shot, and made the free throw for a 3-point play. Seconds later, Dilk made a layin to put Reporter photo by Kent Graham Carmel in front, then Smith drained a couple free throws. On it went, until Dilk's Noblesville’s Maddie Knight looks up to the basket while being guarded by Carmel’s Jasmine McWilliams during the 3-pointer gave the 'Hounds a 25-22 lead, Greyhounds-Millers sectional semi-final game Friday at Fishers.

By RICHIE HALL Reporter Sports Editor Hamilton Southeastern rolled into the championship game of Class 4A Sectional 8 Friday by beating host Fishers 60-35 at the Tiger Den. The Royals led 14-7 after the first quarter, with Malea Jackson making two 3-pointers. The Tigers came back at the beginning of the second period, using a 8-0 run to take a 15-14 lead. Ali Gerka hit a 3-pointer of her own, then Cierra Tolbert added a free throw and a putback to get Fishers within one. Kenedi London's jumper put the Tigers ahead. Sydney Parrish got Southeastern back in front with a 3-pointer, but a rebound basket by Tamia Perryman - who played incredibly tough throughout the game - tied things up again at 17-all. Parrish put the Royals back in front with another 3, and HSE never trailed again. "Towards the end of the first half, our movements were starting to get lethargic and we needed to have a quicker burst to try to get ourselves open to get ourselves in position to get ahead and get shots," said HSE coach Chris Huppenthal. Southeastern led 26-21 at halftime. At that point Parrish had 12 points, and it would turn out she was just getting started. The sophomore added eight more points in the Reporter photos by Kent Graham third quarter, helping the Royals to a 38-28 Hamilton Southeastern’s Sydney Parrish (left) scored 31 points for the Royals in their sectional semi-final victory over Fishers lead.

"Special players do that in big games, and that's what she did." Parrish wound up with a double-double by grabbing 10 rebounds and also made two blocked shots. Hamilton and Molly Walton both corralled eight rebounds, with Hamilton blocking two shots as well. Walton dished out seven assists. "Molly's one of those kids who doesn't give us a lot of points at times, but she does so many little things for us," said Huppenthal. "They did a great job of mixing it up on us," said Vail. "They played a box-and-1, they played a 3-2, they played a 2-3, they played man. And we just could never get in a rhythm. Credit to Coach Huppenthal on that, for mixing it up and really keeping us on our toes." Perryman finished the game with nine points and eight rebounds, while Gerka scored eight points. Toni Grace scored six points. Southeastern is now 16-7, and plays Carmel in tonight's championship game. "You watch them, they got Division I kids at every position on the floor," said Huppenthal. "We're going to come ready to play. We're going to give it our best shot. They're a great basketball team, but I think we got a pretty special team, too." Fishers finished its season 13-12 in Vail's first year as head coach. "I'm just so proud of our kids," said Vail. "Getting a new head coach with about a month to go before the season starts, and not just a new head coach to them, someone Fishers’ Tamia Perryman scored nine points for the Tigers.

"Every time I challenged them with something, they responded. The seniors were great leaders. That's what I just told them in that locker room. They showed those younger kids how to lead and they showed those younger kids how to love each other and be great teammates and that's what I'm really proud of them for."
