Ashby ended the season with a record of 17-5 overall. The Arrows won the Pheasant Conference title and the subsection title. Their runner-up trophy capped of one of the best seasons in team history.
“The Arrow softball team will miss the leadership and talent of seniors Haley Ness, Hayley Barry, Alli Grecco and Emily Williams next year,” head coach Joey Andreasen said. “We wish them the best of luck. Congratulations to all of the girls on an awesome season. They represented their team and community very well, and I am very proud of them.”
