The 12-member squad beat Century 58-6, Glencoe 35-8, Century again in the semifinals 50-5 and Southridge in the finals, 59-20. "What was really fun was, a lot of times you have five people that are on the court playing basketball, but we had five girls who became a team," Ashland coach Stan Gida said. Steve Chase, Jon Van Vleck and Paul Pavlich also coach the team. Ashland was led by Allison Gida, who averaged about 22 points per game, and Amy Chase, who averaged about 13. Other members of the squad are: Monica Palmesano; Drew Van Vleck; Ila Sturges; Xena Contreras; Kai Yearsly; Nicki Small; Skye Taylor; Katlin Walker; Mollie Harney; and Kayla Reynolds. "Our girls are real good at seeing the court; we hardly turned the ball over," Gida said. "We stole the ball at least 25 times just in the last game." Next up for Ashland is a tournament in Eugene on Valentine's Day.
