#GameDay Rocks at Noblesville

Tonight, your Rocks will travel to Beaver Materials Stadium to face the Noblesville Millers. This is the second of two games in the rivalry portion of the schedule, so the Midland Rail Traveling Trophy is on the line. The Millers come into the game at 1-2 (0-1 HCC) on the season. They lost to Fishers last week 0-21.

Noblesville averages 22.3 points on 269 yards per game (242 rushing). They run a unique "tower T" offense that features their big offensive line and multiple running backs. They have four players with over 20 carries and 100 yards on the year so far. Junior QB Conner Meinerding (#5) has only passed the ball 13 times through three games with no touchdowns through the air. On defense, their top two tacklers are Skylar Tolliver (#2) and Mason Bohland (#38) who are each averaging 6.7 tackles per game.

Look for this to be a grind-it-out slog-fest where every possession matters, and big line play will be showcased. The Rocks will need to be stout and stop the run on defense, while coming out hot on offense early like last week. The Millers will want to control both scrimmage and time of possession. Limiting mistakes and turnovers will be crucial.

We've shared the streaming link separately, as ticket limitations continue. We hope to have your support whether virtually or in person! Kickoff is set for 7pm.
