Bluejays Use Balance Scoring to Defeat Lions (1-3-12)
Ashland-Greenwood 63, Louisville girls 36


Led by Morgan RIecken’s 15 points, Ashland-Greenwood defeated Louisville, 63-36, in the Lions’ gymnasium.

The Bluejays started the game by outscoring LHS 11-2, later using an 11-0 run in the second period to take a decisive 28-9 lead. A short jumper and a breakaway basket by Louisville’s Carlee Derby ended the streak before Ashland-Greenwood went on another run, a 7-0 spurt to end the first half with a 35-13 lead.

The Jays shot 33% from the field in the first half on 11-of-33 shooting, controlling the boards while limiting the Lions to just 6 field goals on 25 attempts.

After the break, Ashland-Greenwood continued their domination, beginning the second half of play with another 7-0 run, putting to rest any thoughts of a Louisville comeback.

The Lions were led in scoring by Natalie Minchow and Morgan Dittberner with seven points apiece.

Louisville returns to ECNC play, traveling to Palmyra on Friday for a 6:15 game with the Panthers.
