He scored an impressive 1,396 points in his varsity career at Shelby County to place him second in school history behind Charles Hurt. He'll make an immediate impact with us at the shooting guard position. He's a tough competitor, unselfish, and not only a good shooter but a very versatile guard. He'll not only be an asset to our basketball program but also to Milligan College. Shelby County head coach Gary Kidwell likes Ashby's decision to attend Milligan.
Lance is an outstanding player and person.
He's certainly got all the tools to be a great college player. I'm confident he'll have a good four years there and a positive relationship with the coaching staff and college. Ashby joins a Milligan program that has enjoyed a high level of success at the NAIA level. During his nine year tenure at Milligan, the Buffs have averaged over 20 wins per season and captured five Tennessee-Virginia Athletic Conference Championships. Milligan College is a Christian liberal arts college located in Northeast Tennessee.
