Karen Blair called Ballard's play sloppy, and I would almost veer toward ugly, but hey, a W is a W. Now that they got their jitters and their bad game out of the way, they can go back to playing their game--solid D, good ball movement, and timely shooting. Also, they GOTTA rebound better. Rogers had no size and yet they were at least even on the board. If Moses Lake beats Kentwood, the Beavers could be in big trouble because the Noyes tandem (6-5 and 6-3) looks to be very hard to stop.
Does anyone know anything about Pasco? I couldn't stay for the late game, but they beat G-K pretty good.....

Whatever the case about Ballard they thought they were going to have an easy game and our Rams gave them a run for their money especially since they don't have the size.All in all i really enjoyed the game good job to all the girl and good luck in your upcomming games
