It was a great December for Ashley the 6'2 sophomore guard of the men's basketball team. To begin the month off he led the team to a big win over Copper Mountain as he scored a game-high 30 points and was aggressive in getting to the foul line as he made 83 % of his free throws. His passion for the game has been on display in all the Tartars games in the month of December.
