NEW ALBANY, IND.Zoe Goble scored all five of her team’s fourth-quarter points to ignite Floyds Knobs past Mount Tabor 13-12 Sunday afternoon at Scribner Middle School in the girls’ championship game of the Floyd County Elementary Basketball League.

Mount Tabor charged to an 8-0 behind the play of Riley Belden, who scored all 12 points for the Tigers.

“We took some adversity,” said Floyds Knobs coach Travis Trueblood. “We got into our own heads. It was big crowd. . . That (Mount Tabor) is a good team. They hit us in the nose and got us on our back heels. We figured it out. We grinded and grinded.”

Mount Tabor still led 12-11, when Goble stole the ball and went the length of the court for the layup with 44 seconds left.

“I said, ‘just attack and go to the basket’,” Trueblood said he told Goble. “It’s a great group of girls.”

Goble, a fourth-grader, was named the Wayne Timbs Girls’ Most Valuable Player for her performances throughout league play, including the game-winning basket.

Goble said she felt “amazing” after hitting the game-winner. “I thought we weren’t going to make it up (after trailing) but we did.”

Goble said she plays “every single chance I get.”
