The Boom dominated the first half, erupting for 74 points and taking a 22-point lead (74-52) into the break. Noblesville used a 20-6 first‑quarter run to build early separation, highlighted by 10 points from Toney on 4-of-5 shooting – knocking down both of his attempts from deep. Noblesville’s momentum carried into the second quarter, extending the lead to as many as 25 while holding Capital City to just 22 points. As a team, the Boom shot 63.3 percent from the field and 50 percent from three in the opening half.
The Go-Go responded with authority after halftime, orchestrating a 28-8 run in the third quarter to slice the deficit to five with 4:13 left in the frame. Despite being held to only 24 points in the quarter, Noblesville maintained a slim advantage entering the fourth. The Boom pushed their lead back to 14 midway through the final period before Capital City closed regulation on a 20-6 run, fueled by 10 points from Gilbert, to force overtime. In the race to the target score of 128, Slawson delivered in crunch time – scoring the final five Boom points, including a clutch step‑back three, to help secure the win in front of the electric sellout crowd.
The Boom (14-10), dropped the second game of the back-to-back against the Capital City Go-Go (12-11), falling 130-114 on Sunday, Feb. 22.
Cameron Hildreth led the Boom with 21 points and five assists on 9-of-13 shooting, including 2-of-5 from three. RJ Felton followed with a career-high 19 points, while Slawson added 17 points, six assists, and five rebounds.

The Go-Go found their rhythm early behind Labissiere, who scored 17 of the team’s first 28 points while going a perfect 6-of-6 from the field and 4-of-4 from deep, helping Capital City build an 11-point lead midway through the first quarter. As a team, the Go-Go hit nine three-pointers in the opening frame to take a 45-29 lead into the second.

Capital City continued to pull away after the break, leading by as many as 32 in the third quarter despite a 12-point frame from Slawson. The Boom chipped away late and trimmed the deficit to 16, but the Go-Go’s hot shooting and dominance on the glass proved too much to overcome. Rebounding played a decisive role, as Noblesville was outrebounded 41-26, leading to 20 Capital City second-chance points.
