The boys basketball team hosted the Newport Knights over the weekend and saw their first loss in seven games.

It was a back-and-forth game that wasn't decided until the last few minutes. In the end, the Beavers came up short by three points for a final score of 61 to 64.

Senior Salim Gloyd had another double-double with 20 points and 11 rebounds. Sophomore Seth Berger contributed 17 points.

The Beavers' next game is Tuesday night at Garfield High School, who is currently ranked the #1 team in the state.

The regular season wraps up on Friday night at Roosevelt High School. To secure a home game as the first playoff game, Ballard has to win one of their two remaining games or Inglemoor has to lose one of their remaining two games.
