For the first time in the history of Ashe County High School has a basketball team won back-to-back conference titles at the JV Girls level. This year, the Huskies worked their way to an impressive 19-3 record for the season, and 11-1 in conference play. The sole conference loss for the Huskies came against Surry Central on the road by a mere one-point differential.

The Huskies ended the season on a fourteen game winning streak that was capped off with an enjoyable 67-7 victory at Wilkes Central. The Huskies have four sophomores on the team that have earned two conference titles in the past two years. With the two season combined, these four sophomores (Cara Church, Brittany Lyalls, Jessica Walker, and Charity Shatley) has tallied up a 23-1 conference record in the past two years and an overall record of 34-8.

In the season closer at Wilkes Central, Ashe was led by Courtney Bowers who had a season game high of sixteen points, and she was followed by Alexis Greene who scored ten points. Chandler Christensen scored eight points, Jessica Walker and Lizzie Hanes scored seven points each, Amber Monroe and Charity Shatley added six points each, Cara Church scored five points, and Brittany Lyalls scored two points for the Huskies.

Following the victory, Coach Bobby Hudler was ecstatic with the Huskies season and commented: “I am really proud of the girls and they are very deserving of the conference title. They have worked and played hard all season and they have the attitude of wanting to practice, learn, and improve.” After congratulating Coach Hudler on his second straight conference title (a first for a Husky coach), Hudler stated: “What makes a good coach is good players, and this team is full of great players who have a good chemistry as a team, and that can not be taught.”

Congratulations

to the Lady Huskies on their record

setting year!!!
