Millers Control Wire-to-Wire to Hand Carmel First Loss
Noblesville, IN – The Noblesville Millers bounced back in a big way Friday night, toppling the previously undefeated Carmel Greyhounds 50-37 on their home court. A strong defensive performance and a career night from junior guard Justin Curry II powered the Millers to victory, improving their record to 3-1 on the season.
Coming off a humbling 74-40 loss to Fishers, the Millers had a week to regroup, and it showed from the opening tip. Noblesville raced out to a commanding 17-5 lead after the first quarter, fueled by Curry’s hot hand. He scored the team’s first 11 points, setting the tone for what would be a career-high 27-point performance. Curry also shot an impressive 4-for-7 from beyond the arc, adding three rebounds and two assists to his stat line.
By halftime, Noblesville stretched their lead to 23-12, keeping Carmel’s offense in check with a suffocating defense. Forward Aiden Brewer anchored the defensive effort with five blocks, five rebounds, and three steals, while Baron Walker chipped in nine points and three boards.
The Millers continued to control the pace in the second half, building their lead to 41-22 entering the final quarter. Carmel managed to trim the deficit late, but Noblesville’s defense and ball control ensured the outcome was never in doubt.
