WANETTE — The Asher Lady Indians earned their first season win as the Asher basketball teams double up on host Wanette Tuesday evening.
The Lady Indians moved to 1-3 with a 51-48 triumph, and the Indians secured a 73-60 victory to move to 3-1.

Erin Casey made up for half of Asher’s offense with 26 points, and Summer Wauahdooah pitched in with 10.
Tania Middleton led Wanette with 14, and teammates Robin Horner and Sahara Lambert added 10 apiece.
Asher’s boys led by 12 after one quarter, and held a 40-27 edge at halftime. A late surge by the Tigers allowed them to outscore the guests 20-16 in the final period, but it was too little, too late.
