Ballard bumped from playoffs
It's called being done to soon.
Ballard's football team finally broke into the Seattle Times' state top 10 Class 3A rankings at No. 10 with a stellar 9-0 record before getting bumped from the state playoff picture the next day.
The Beavers journeyed North to play No. 7 ranked Marysville Pilchuck in a state play-in game Friday and took the Wesco champions to the wire before coming up short by a 28-25 score.
Ballard finished at 9-1 and came in as the Metro League No. 7 seed after going undefeated in the league's second tier division and defeating Ingraham in a playoff last week.
