On Sept. 17, the Ballard High School football team suffered its worst loss of the still young season – a 45-0 shutout at the hands of Newport High School.

The Beavers are 0-3 this season and have been shutout twice. They have been outscored 125-12.

Ballard starts conference play against Inglemoor at 7 p.m. on Sept. 25 at Pop Keeney Stadium.

Beaver fans are hoping the team can turn it around and avoid a repeat of last year's nightmare season in which Ballard was outscored by 200 points on the way to a 1-8 record.
