“Shooting at such a low percentage is not part of a winning strategy,” said Ashby Head Coach John Holsten. “Border West did a good job of contesting many of our shots. Open looks were hard to come by. Our team defense was pretty good, but their defense was better.”
The Arrows overall record falls to 8-12 and 5-8 in the conference. Ashby travels to West Central Friday to take on the state-ranked Knights.
