Fans hoping the Beavers could turn around a darkening football season when conference play started Sept. 25 against Inglemoor will have to wait at least another week for something positive.

The Ballard High School football team dropped its conference-opener 35-0 to Inglemoor (2-2).

The Beavers are 0-4 on the year and have been shutout three times. They have been outscored 160-12.

Ballard, which is coming off a 1-8 season, has four games remaining to turn things around.

But, things won't get any easier for the Beavers. They have a match up with Bothell looming at 7 p.m. on Oct. 1 at Memorial Stadium.

Bothell is 4-0 and coming off a 60-0 dismantling of Lake Washington.
