The Parkers Prairie Panthers took sole possession of first place in the Little Eight Conference with a 55-50 win over the Ashby Arrows on Tuesday night in Ashby.  The Panthers led 29-27 at the half.

Ashby made just 32% (17-52) of their field goal attempts, but did win the battle of the boards.  They were led by Christian Norby with a double-double (15 points, 19 rebounds).  Scott Johnson and Jaden Norby finished with 13 and 11 points, respectively.

Alex Koep led Parkers Prairie with 21 points and Travis Yohnke had 11.

"The difference in the game was that they turned most of our live ball turnovers into easy transition baskets," said Ashby Head Coach John Holsten.  "I'm very proud of how hard we fought tonight."

Ashby (13-4) will play the Brandon-Evansville Chargers on Friday night in Evansville.
