Regional roundup: Carroll, Homestead to meet in finals
VICTORIA JACOBSEN | The Journal Gazette
Homestead knocked out Noblesville 62-57 in the Class 4A Marion regional semifinal on Saturday.
Noblesville (21-4), which was ranked No. 7 in the IBCA coaches poll and No. 5 in the Class 4A AP poll, looked like it would fall in regulation when, down 48-47 with 17 seconds left to play, it took the Millers 12 seconds to foul the Spartans.
Spartan junior forward Ayanna Patterson hit the first free throw but missed the second, and Noblesville got the rebound. Sophomore Ashlynn Shade made a football-style pass from midcourt to a wide-open Kaitlyn Shoemaker under the basket, who tied the game at 49 at the buzzer to force overtime.
