Royals Add Size to 2018 Class

Head Coach Jared Marshall is excited to announce the addition of Ashley Briggs to Royals basketball team for the 2018-2019 season.

Ashley is a 6'8 forward who attended Itchen College and is from Southampton, UK. He is fresh off an All-Conference season with the Solent Kestrels Basketball club where he averaged 14.2ppg 8.5rpg 2.7apg. Ashley was also able to represent the U16 England team at the European Championship a few summers back. Coach Marshall was able to go back to this area for the second time in three seasons as current Royal, Harvey Barr, also attended Itchen and played for the Solent Kestrels Basketball club.

Head Coach Jared Marshall had this to say about Ashley, "Ashley is a naturally gifted player who has such a great feel for the game of basketball. With most of our size graduating this season, he fills a big need for us inside. One of the things that impresses me most about Ashley is he is able to play inside and out, which causes problems for the defense he is facing. I am excited for what Ashley brings to the team and think he has a ton of potential to turn into a really special basketball player."

Ashley joins Kolton Vetter from Carrington, ND, Dalton Poitra from St. John, ND and Devynn Wakefield from Bettendorf, IA in the class of 2018.

Go Royals!
