Trailing district rival North Polk 42-28 with 2:14 left in the game, the Ballard football team ripped off 15 consecutive points to defeat the Comets 43-42.  Trailing 42-28, the Bombers would get a quick score to pull the deficit to 42-35.  The Bombers would kick an onside kick and recover and quarterback Lucas Hartsook would find Jayden Cattell in the end zone to make the score 42-41.  The Bombers elected to go for two to try to win the game.  Eli Rouse would be set in the wildcat formation and take the ball to the left edge of the endzone to give the Bombers the lead.  The Bomber's defense would hold for the final few seconds to secure the win.
