The boys basketball team hosted Skyline last night for a tight home game.

Ballard had a six-point lead in the first quarter but Skyline battled back, leading by one point going into the third quarter.

Ballard came back and took the lead again but by the time the buzzer sounded at the end of the last quarter, the game had still not been decided. Tied at 54, they went into overtime in which Skyline managed to outscore Ballard by eight points. The final score was 60 to 68.

Ballard's Salim Gloyd finished with 29 points and 10 rebounds. He now has eight double-doubles this season.

Ballard's next home game is Friday at 8 p.m. against Garfield.
