Carson Spangler nailed 3 three-point baskets early in the second half to help provide Ashby with a good working margin.  Hunter Norby finished out the Arrow scoring with 8 points.  He also chased down 6 rebounds.  Brodie Ecker played tough one on one defense.  Carter Spangler and Matson Hoff provided solid minutes off the bench after a couple of players’ experienced foul trouble.

“Our defensive energy was very good for the entire game,” commented Head Coach John Holsten of Ashby.  “B-E made shots that were well-defended. One downside for us is the Chargers attempted 22 free throws to our 7 tries.  The boys were a little frustrated but held their composure for the most part.”

If the Arrows (19-2) defeat the Underwood Rockets Monday night in Underwood, Ashby will finish 11-1 in the Little Eight Conference and share the Conference Championship with the Hillcrest Comets.

Brandon-Evansville was led by Tyler Bitzan’s 10 points.  Titus Fuller scored 9, including career point number 1000.

“I am very proud of Titus,” stated Brandon-Evansville Head Coach Trent Hintermeister.  “Titus has put in countless hours to be where he is right now.  Titus loves the game, loves being a teammate, and loves the grind.”

Dezmond White and Micah Fuller contributed 8 and 7 points, respectively.

Brandon-Evansville (12-11) is at Parkers Prairie on Monday, hosts CGB on Tuesday and entertains Wheaton/Herman-Norcross in their regular season finale on Friday night.
