The Ashland Greens were an independent basketball franchise in Ashland, Pennsylvania. The team was owned by Green's Dairy, and played an independent schedule in which several professional teams would come to Ashland and play against the "home town team." Among the teams that did visit Ashland were the Boston Celtics and the Reading Rangers. When the Eastern Pro League's York Cleaners franchise needed to move to another city in the middle of the 1951-52 season, the franchise moved to Ashland and assumed the name of the Greens. The team only played three games before relocating to Hazleton, Pennsylvania and became the Mountaineers.
