The Ballard basketball teams hosted the Woodinville teams last night.
It was the girls' Senior Night but the Falcons didn't go easy on them on the celebratory event. The Lady Falcons are one of the better teams in the state and that was apparent in the 82 to 35 loss.
Senior Theresa Moriarty lead the Lady Beavers with 12 points and Senior Elena DeWeese added 11. The Lady Beavers next play again on Wednesday night at Garfield.
The good news is that the boys' team won their sixth straight game beating the Falcons in overtime. In the last quarter, the Beavers were down by four with only two minutes left on the clock when they made a come back and took the lead before Woodinville tied the game again.
Senior Salim Gloyd had a key block in overtime that lead to a momentum changing dunk by Sophomore Seth Berger. Sophomores Johnny Verduin and Stuart MacGeorge both had 5 points in overtime. Salim Gloyd lead the Beavers with 14 rebounds and 22 points for his 11th double-double of the season.
The Beavers play their last home game on Saturday, Jan 29, at 7:30 p.m. against the Newport Knights. The Knights are currently in second place in the Crest Division of Kingco. Ballard will be honoring their four seniors before the game: Nick Onstad-Hawes, Salim Gloyd, John Christensen and Juan Barco.
