In last season’s state finals, Ashland-Greenwood defeated Auburn at Pinnacle Bank Arena 36-33 after a three-pointed three-pointer in overtime.
On Monday, the Bluejays opened the game by outplaying the Bulldogs 19-8 in the second quarter and leading 27-14 at halftime.
Cougar Konzem added eight points for Ashland-Greenwood. Maverick Binder had 14 points for Auburn, which fell to 5-3 this season.
