The Ballard High School football team squandered its best offensive output of the season and a halftime lead Oct. 23 against Woodinville.

The Beavers fell behind early, trailing 14-3 after the first quarter but fought back in the second to take a 22-21 lead.

Unfortunately for Ballard fans, Woodinville was able to score eight points in the fourth quarter for a 29-22 victory.

Ballard's 22 points were the most it has scored in any game this season.

Senior Matt Law-Phipps had a 32-yard field goal and an eight-yard rushing touchdown.

Senior Fraser Biemiller scored on runs of four and three yards.

With one game remaining, the Beavers have a 1-4 conference record and are 1-7 overall but have turned things around in the last three games.

Over the first five games of the season, the Beavers were outscored 202 to 21. Starting with their Oct. 9 win over Lake Washington, they have scored 56 points to their opponents' 64.

In the final game of the season, Oct. 30 at Memorial Stadium, Ballard, which is ranked fourth in the KingCo Crown Division, will take on the correspondingly ranked team in the Crest Division.

It looks like the Beavers will be facing Newport (2-3 conference, 4-4 overall), a team that beat them 45-0 on Sept. 17.
