Ripley County Basketball Hall of Fame
Becky Narwold Nobbe
Three-straight single-class sectional championships over Milan, Jac-Cen-Del and South Ripley highlighted Batesville girls basketball from 1992 through 1994 and leading on the court was Becky Narwold who would finish her career in the Top 10 all-time in seven different categories on offense after a stellar four-year varsity career.
Always accepting of any role on the court, Becky scored 100-plus points each season including 397 points her senior year which came out to an average of 18.9 points per game, both of which are ranked seventh and ninth all-time respectively as part of single-season program records. That same year she also had 85 steals -seventh all-time- and her 154 field goals finished seventh as well. She scored 1,052 career points and remains seventh on the career scoring list, her 73 percent career free throw percentage remains fourth and 242 career assists sits seventh on the school’s all-time list. She was Team MVP her sophomore and senior seasons, was All-County three times, All-Sectional two times, All-EIAC twice and a member of the All-Regional squad in 1993. She was the 1993 Sectional MVP, an EIAC free throw champion in 1995 and finished fifth in the state three-point shootout that same year alongside playing in the 40 & 8 All-Star Game.
In addition to her basketball accolades, Becky was a Team MVP in softball, golf and soccer and was All-Conference in each sport. She led Batesville softball to a sectional championship. Becky and her husband Aaron have three children, Hank, Ashley and Bo and the couple currently operates The Rusty Buck in Batesville and Versailles, providing the community with its outdoor needs year-round.
