I was born and raised right here in Noblesville. I grew up in a home without domestic violence or assault – it wasn’t something I saw, or even heard about. But when I was introduced to Prevail of Central Indiana, I was shocked by the number of individuals who are affected by domestic violence. In 2018 alone, Prevail helped more than 4,000 clients in Hamilton County. (Nearly 80 percent of clients are FIVE H Overall Safety Rating Third row seating allowing women and children.)

But at Collision Warning, Lane Departure Tom Wood Volkswagen in Noblesville, Warning, Blind Spot Monitoring we’re breaking the taboo and raising awareness for Prevail, an organization that helps families in Hamilton County. – Mike Bragg, GM of Tom Wood Volkswagen in Noblesville

To help Hamilton County families affected by domestic violence and sexual abuse, you can donate the following items: • Art supplies (for children to journal and express their emotions) • Bottled water (8 oz. bottles, preferably) • Individually packaged snacks • Gas cards (many women have no access to funds after fleeing their abuser)

Boys Carmel edges out Noblesville in double OT This season, both the Carmel and Noblesville boys basketball teams have many players that are playing significant varsity minutes for the first time. Many of those players were also new to overtime games. They got their chance to experience that Friday night, as the host Greyhounds edged out the Millers 54-51 in a double overtime contest at the Eric Clark Activity Center. “In a game where every possession mattered, they had to lock in and men- tally that can be hard for guys that have never been in that situation before,” said Carmel coach Ryan Osborn. “Proud of our guys for sticking with it.” Noblesville forced overtime with a big comeback in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter. The Greyhounds led 38-29 before the Millers went on a 12-3 run to tie things up. Jordan Gadis started the run with a rare four-point play – he hit a 3-pointer while being fouled, then made the afterwards. Regulation ended with Noblesville’s Brendon Fisher making a layin to tie the game at 41-41. Fisher scored five points in the fourth quarter. The Millers moved ahead 44-41 in the first overtime on free throws, but Carmel’s Jackson Jannsen tied the game with his own triple, forcing the second OT. The second extra period was back and forth until Wil Leary made two foul shots to get the ‘Hounds up 50- 49 with under a minute to go, giving Car- mel the lead for good. “Jackson hit a big 3 late, hit three out of four free throws down the stretch, came up big for us,” said Osborn. Noblesville led for most of the first half, holding a 9-7 advantage after the first quarter and leading 20-16 at halftime. Alex Hunt had a solid first half with eight points, while Fisher made two 3s. Carmel took control in the third quarter, holding Reporter photos by Richie Hall the Millers to four points while scoring Carmel's Peter Suder (left) scored 10 points for the Greyhounds during their Friday game with Noblesville at 12 of its own. Leary led the ‘Hounds in the Eric Clark Activity Center.
