The Wright brothers played one season together at Neumann-Goretti before the former Baylor freshman transferred to Montverde Academy in Florida for his senior season of high school. Ashley-Wright talked about his older brother.

“He gave me a few tips before he left,” the junior point guard said per PA Times. “And he would text me things when he was down (in Florida). He told me to stay focused and stay locked in over the whole season. Keep your head on straight. We also had Khaafiq (Myers) last year, so that helped a lot, too.”

Ashley-Wright went on to score a game-high 25 points to help Neumann-Goretti beat Hershey 85-71 to secure the PIAA 5A title at GIANT Center in March. It was also the Saints' 10th state championship.
