Jaden Norby and Christian Norby completed double-doubles by collecting rebound totals of 20 and 12, respectively.
“We allowed a good working margin to get away from us down the stretch because of poor coaching decisions, turnovers, and missed free throws,” noted Ashby Head Coach John Holsten. “The boys exhibited a great amount of toughness to hang on for the win.”
The Arrows overall record improves to 6-3 with the win. Next up is a Little Eight Conference battle with the Brandon-Evansville Chargers Tuesday night in Ashby.
