The Ballard High School girls basketball team may have hit its lowest point of the season in a Feb. 10 loss to Bothell – the only KingCo team Ballard had beaten this season.
Bothell buried the Beavers early, jumping out to a 14-5 first-quarter lead and taking a 28-13 lead into halftime. Bothell would eventually win it 52-36, extending Ballard's losing streak to nine games.
Senior Kayla Wenger and junior Taylor Hall led the Beavers with 10 points each. Junior Theresa Moriarty added nine.
2010 has not treated the girls basketball team well so far. The Beavers have gone 1-10 in the new year with one game remaining.
At 1-14 in the conference and 3-16 overall, Ballard has to win its remaining game against Roosevelt to show any improvement over last years record (1-15 conference, 3-17 overall).
The Beavers close out the season against the Roughriders at 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 12 at Ballard High School. Roosevelt beat Ballard 48-36 in their meeting earlier this season.
