NOBLESVILLE GIRLS BASKETBALL CLUB Be a Part of the Lady Miller Movement! The Noblesville Girls Basketball Club ( NGBC ) was formed to provide the young ladies of Noblesville the opportunity to play basketball at a competitive level while developing a strong foundation in basketball fundamental principles.
