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.)

This event will be held at Riverview Health in Noblesville in the Courtney Cox Cole Infusion Center, located off the Atri- um.

Girls basketball begins Panthers run away from Shamrocks By RICHIE HALL WESTFIELD - The Westfield girls basketball team gave itself a tough test in its season opener Tuesday. The Shamrocks hosted North Cen- tral, which is ranked No. 3 in the Class 4A pre-season poll. Westfield got out to a hot start, but the Panthers’ depth and size soon took over, and sent North Central to a 62-39 victory. The Panthers led 4-3 early in the first quarter, with Jasmine McWilliams scoring all of NC’s points and Shamrocks sophomore Alyssa Crockett hitting a 3-pointer. Westfield then went on a 10-0 run to jump ahead 13-4. Senior Ava Hen- son and sophomore Olivia Robey both made layins, then Robey and senior Ash- tin DeCraene both drained 3s. North Central finished the quarter on a 7-0 run to cut the Shamrocks’ lead to 13-11 by the end of the quarter, then made it an 8-0 run by opening the second with a free throw. DeCraene’s basket got the ‘Rocks back up 15-12, but the Pan- thers then scored nine unanswered points to go ahead 21-15. A Robey layin and Crockett 3 cut North Central’s lead to 21-20. The Pan- thers finished the half with another scoring run, pouring in seven straight points to lead 27-20 at the break. That pattern would remain true in the second half: North Central made a run, Westfield would stop it with a couple baskets, then the Panthers would make another quick run. “I feel like we just stopped managing the game,” said Shamrocks coach Ginny Smith. “We didn’t control the controlla- bles.” Smith was pleased with the first half, Reporter photo by Richie Hall noting that her team held NC to only three Westfield senior Ashtin DeCraene made three 3-pointers during the Shamrocks' game with North Central offensive rebounds.
