The lights are brightest at Beaver Materials Stadium. The student section is the loudest inside the tall ceilings of The Mill. In just the last four years, the home of Miller Soccer has lifted six state champion- ship trophies between the boys and girls teams. If you’re an Indiana high school sports fan, it doesn’t get much better than watching a game in Noblesville. The city has created
a community where the “big four” sports; football, soccer, basketball and baseball can thrive. With other schools in the county such as Fishers and Carmel constantly innovating to provide their athletes with the best opportunities to succeed, Noblesville needs to keep pace and continue to place an emphasis on the teams who take the spotlight of Miller athletics.
Alongside creating a new environment for the fans, Noblesville’s new football stadium provides state of the art facilities for the athletes to use. Mullen says that the new field, along with all its amenities, helped him throughout his journey on the way to becoming a Hoosier Crossroads Conference second team member.
“After football, I would go take ice baths almost every single day. I would get therapy on my knee, I’d get therapy on my ankles. I would have my wrist taped every single school practice. There’s nothing you can compare it to,” Mullen said.
The new Beaver Materials Stadium isn’t the only innovation NHS has added in recent years. The athletic expansion project, which finished construction in 2024, added new practice auxiliary gyms applicable for all sports, a new wrestling room, and a new cardio workout room shows Noblesville is clearly placing an emphasis on providing updated facilities for all athletes.
In an age of name, image, and likeness in college sports, where collegiate athletes can get paid for their athletic abilities, providing athletes with the best opportunity to play division one “big four” sports is imperative. In just one class, Noblesville is sending seniors Israel Oladipupo, Meredith Tippner, and Brooklyn Grayson and more to the top levels of college sports next year, with more to come for the 2026 class. If the talent is within the walls of the schools, why not buy into our elite athletes?
