What's new for 2020? The Atlas Cross Sport.

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 women and children.) Domestic violence and abuse are hard topics to discuss, so you don’t often hear about them. But at Tom Wood Volkswagen in Noblesville, 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 All Atlas Cross Sport models come with a touchscreen infotainment display express their emotions) with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.

Volleyball Tigers open by sweeping 'Hounds By RICHIE HALL It only took one match for the Fishers volleyball team to get something that will help it this season: An identity. The Tigers showed their maturity and toughness by traveling to Carmel’s Eric Clark Activity Center Saturday morning in the season-opening match for both teams. Fishers battled the whole way through and came away with a 25-18, 25- 22, 25-21 sweep of the Greyhounds. “I thought we played great,” said Ti- gers coach Steven Peek. He noted that Carmel is a strong team, and said that getting a sweep is a sign of some of the maturity his veteran team has. “We have a lot of returners, but they have changed and matured in some in- credible ways as far as attitude, leader- ship and all the off-court stuff that it’s going to take for us to be able to put to- gether a great team and be able to play other great teams,” said Peek. The Greyhounds came out strong in the first set, taking a 6-2 lead. Macarty McQueen was a big part of that run, smacking four kills. But the Tigers even- tually came back, and with the score tied at 11-11, made a run of eight straight points to get control of the set. Camryn Haworth served during that run, with Emily Waldrop hitting a pair of kills, and Carsen Plew spiking one as well. Ava Vickers hit the winning kill on set point. The second set was close until the middle part, when the ‘Hounds jumped out to a 17-13 lead. Fishers used a run of five straight points to grab the lead, with Waldrop making two kills. JaNyah Henderson added a kill and teamed with Haworth for a block. The score was still 21-21 late in the set before Fishers won four of the next five points. In the third set, the Tigers used a four- point run to take a 14-11 lead, and held that advantage until the match finished. Jada Allen hit two kills to keep the Tigers in front, then another kill set up match point for Fishers at 24-21. The Tigers took the next point to clinch the match.

The Hamilton Heights football team’s season-opening game with Muncie Cen- tral has been canceled. The Huskies were to play the Bearcats on Friday. But a Heights player and an assistant coach have both tested positive for COVID-19, and the team had to quar- antine 13 other players. Heights athletic director Kurt Ogden said that while the game still could have been played, Mun- cie Central preferred not to play. The Huskies-Bearcats game was to have been Heights’ Senior Night contest, but that will be moved to another date. The Huskies will now open their season on Aug. 28 at North Montgomery. 8 Sports Fishers-Carmel volleyball season-opening match

Huskies tennis wins own Invitational The Hamilton Heights boys tennis team started its season with a win at its own Husky Invitational on Saturday. Heights scored 40 points to win the team championship. Other teams at the invi- tational were Heritage Christian (second place, 35 points), Bethany Christian (third, 25), Madison-Grant (fourth, 15) and Frankton (fifth, 0). The Huskies won two of the positions and finished in the top three in all five flights. Nick Rice won the No. 2 singles division by taking a super tiebreak 10-8. The No. 2 doubles team of Colin Weber and Grant Cavanaugh also won a super tiebreak, 10-6, to triumph in that flight. Eric Malott finished second at No. 3 singles. No. 1 singles Ben Wolfgang finished third in his division, competing against the toughest draw of the team. Josh Russell and Jake Martin placed third at No. 1 doubles. Heights coach Wayne Rupe said the No. 1 singles and No. 1 doubles performances were the difference in the match and getting the team the win.

In an all-county season-opening dual, Guerin Catholic beat Fishers 3-2 at the Ea- gles Nest. The Golden Eagles swept all three singles positions, with Cole Metzger winning 6-2, 6-1 at No. 1 singles and Jak Kolb taking the No. 3 match 6-0, 6-2.
