Wednesday’s girls basketball game between Hamilton Southeastern and
Noblesville turned out to be a good occasion
for both teams.
The host and Class 4A No. 8 Royals won the Hoosier Crossroads Conference contest
70-46, stopping a two-game losing streak and improving them to 7-2 for the season
and 1-1 in the HCC. Meanwhile, one of the Miller players made history: Senior Emily
Kiser scored her 1000th point.
Kiser reached the 1000-point mark with 4:34 remaining in the second quarter by
making a layup. The Royals stopped the game so that Kiser could be recognized for
her achievement. The Michigan-bound Kiser became the eighth Noblesville girls
player to reach that mark; her older brotherJohn Kiser reached 1000 points in 2016,
making them the first siblings to reach that milestone in Millers history.
Southeastern was in control from the start, leading 21-11 after the first quarter and
41-21 at halftime. Sophomore Sydney Parrish had a sensational shooting night,
draining five 3-pointers on her way to 27 points. Parrish also pulled five rebounds and
handed out four assists.
Amaya Hamilton had a great all-around game, with 12 points, nine rebounds and
seven steals. Molly Walton dished out eight assists, while Tayah Irvin grabbed five
rebounds.
Kiser finished the game with 26 points and nine rebounds. Maddie Knight scored
12 points, including three 3-pointers. Abby Haley handed out five assists.
Southeastern will be back on its home court Saturday afternoon to host Greenfield Central.
The Millers (4-5, 0-3) will also be playing Saturday afternoon, returning to The
Mill to play 4A No. 3 North Central. Both games have 1:30 p.m. varsity starts.
