Ashland played a strong independent schedule, with both losses coming at the hands of Mansfield Senior. It was Ashland’s tough luck being in the same sectional tournament as Mansfield. The Tygers advanced to the state tournament, before losing to the eventual champion Springfield in the semi-final encounter.
Ashland was rated number 2 in the Ohio polls late in the regular season. At the time, the 108 points scored against Bucyrus in the Class A Sectional game represented a team scoring record, bettering the old mark by 20 points. It was also an all-time state record for a Class A sectional/district tournament game
