Prior to that, the Millers had won the first two matchups.

Warren Central was able to get off to a better start with a 12-6 lead through one quarter.

The Millers started to get things going in the second with a 14-13 edge that had them trailing 25-20 af halftime.

It was an even third period 12-12 that kept it at a five-point deficit for Noblesville at 37-32.

The Warriors had a strong fourth 17-12 to pull away for the win.

Noblesville (5-4) gets very little rest and is back at it today with an afternoon meeting against Arsenal Tech (1-7) at 3 p.m.

The Millers were led by Baron Walker’s 23 points on 8-for-15 shooting, including 6-of-6 free throws. T.J. Davidson had nine and Justin Curry was held to five on just 1-for-9 field goals.
