Verndale also had three players reach double figures.  Shawn Schmitz had 14 points.  Jaden Schulke scored 12 and Carter White added 11 points.

“We had to grind out every possession in search of a good shot,” said Ashby Head Coach John Holsten.  “Verndale runs an effective offense that was really hard to guard.”
