The Ashby baseball team (24-3) rolled through the Pheasant Conference with a 12-0 season on the way to a championship this past spring, and the Arrows put five players on the all-conference team as a result of that.

Senior Jaden Norby was a powerful bat in the middle of a lineup that scored 8.8 runs per game and a powerful arm in a pitching rotation that allowed 2.1 runs. He was named the Pheasant Conference MVP for that versatility.

Norby had a team-best .452 batting average overall in 26 games played this season. That included 7 doubles, 3 triples and 6 home runs as he racked up a team-high 28 RBIs and 33 runs scored. Norby was maybe even more dominant on the mound where he struck out 99 batters in 60 1/3 innings on his way to an 11-1 record and a 1.04 ERA.

Hancock’s Preston Rohloff was the Pitcher of the Year in the Pheasant Conference, and Nate Moberg of Border West earned the Offensive Player of the Year Award. Ashby’s Jared Larson earned the Coach of the Year Award.

Ashby’s Carter Spangler (.373 BA, 17 RBI, 22 runs, 2.15 ERA), Hunter Norby (.359 BA, 24 RBI, 22 runs, 0.52 ERA, 49 SO, 40 2/3 IP), Mattson Hoff (.297 BA, 19 RBI, 18 runs) and Torin Olson (.353 BA, 25 RBI, 38 runs) also earned all-conference honors for their seasons. Evan Paulson (.321 AVG, 17 RBI, 14 runs) and Brodie Ecker (.257 AVG, .379 OBP, 9 RBI, 21 runs) were honorable-mention selections.

Brandon-Evansville had four guys named All-Pheasant Conference in Kyle Schaffran, Tyler Bitzan, Brady Perleberg and Riley Perleberg, while Hunter Koep and Dezmond White were honorable-mention selections.

West Central Area rounded out the area teams as Jordan Lohse and Reubens Swanson were all conference, and Trent Koloski and Colton Lindquist were honorable-mention selections.

Chargers line the softball all-conference list

The Brandon-Evansville softball team had a similar presence on the All-Pheasant Conference list as the Ashby baseball team did.

The Chargers, who went 13-1 in winning the program’s seventh straight conference championship, put four players on the all-conference first team in Bailey Schaefer, Mikenna Pattrin, Sydney Schaefer and Taylin Kramer. Bailey Schaefer earned the league’s MVP honor, while Pattrin was named the pitcher of the year. Korrie Randt and Kylee Dingwall were honorable-mention selections, and Kasi Sieling was the Pheasant Conference Coach of the Year.

West Central Area had two first-team all-conference selections in Addison Staples and Emma Swenson. Madi Hansen was named to the second team, and Claire Stark and Alaina Sykora were named honorable-mention players after the Knights went 8-5 in league play.

Ashby rounded out the area teams in the league as the Arrows finished 4-10 in the conference. Anna Thormodson and Anissa Heinrich were second-team all-conference players, and Ryleigh Brendmoen earned honorable-mention status.
