In his final season at Ashland Coach Chris Stokes took his team to the Sectional finals for the sixth time in seven year. Freshman Taylor Housewright inspired a 1:39 six-point comeback to gain an overtime win over Marion Harding, when he fed Anthony Bell for the winning basket. It gave the A’s the chance to face the 8th ranked Mansfield with 19-consecutive wins in the finals. It was the Tygers again for the 23rd tournament ending time for Ashland. The team’s MVP Anthony Bell led in scoring (410 pts), rebounds (136), and shooting (FGs 52% and FTs 73%). Dan Hess set the school record with 68 three’s for the season and 123 for his career topping Chad Honaker. Scott Heimann had 82 assists. Coach Stokes, whose teams won one OHC, the Sectional and District twice, and a record of 96-62 (.608), moved to his third head-coaching job, as the mentor of the OCC rivals the Wooster Generals.
