"We came out flat to start the second half," said Ashby Head Coach John Holsten. "The Pirates scored the first six points to take the lead. We couldn't regain our composure offensively or defensively and we couldn't stop fouling. We were out-coached, out-rebounded, and out-hustled."
The Arrows travel to Battle Lake on Tuesday.
