Noblesville extended its win streak to three games on Saturday, taking care of Logansport 57-34 at The Mill.
The Millers got off to a fantastic start, leading the Berries 14-2 after the first quarter. Noblesville kept that margin throughout the second period, taking a 24-11 lead into halftime. Logansport made a comeback in the third to cut the Millers’ lead to 32-27, but Noblesville blasted through the fourth quarter, pouring in 25 points.
“I think our guys handled our offensive process the right way,” said Millers coach John Peckinpaugh. “We were patient, we got lane touches and good shots once we got it into the paint. We got to the free-throw line quite a bit in the fourth as well.”
Peckinpaugh said his team played “pretty well defensively all night, especially there in the first half and the fourth quarter.”
“It’s a good thing to see that we’re starting to play our best basketball at this point in the season,” said Peckinpaugh.
Luke Almodovar scored 17 points for Noblesville and made five steals. E.J. Smith and Josh Durham both added 10 points and Noah Harris had nine. Preston Roberts led the Millers rebounding with five.
Noblesville is 8-5 and plays Friday at Hamilton Southeastern in a Hoosier Crossroads Conference game.
