The #1 ranked Ballard men's basketball team continued their dominant run through the Raccoon River Conference, securing a 65-52 victory over Winterset.  With this win, the Bombers remain undefeated, improving to 9-0 overall and 8-0 in conference play, completing a perfect first round of RRC competition.  Ballard's balanced offensive attack and solid defense were on full display as they pulled away in the second half.

The Bombers jumped out to an early lead with an 18-11 advantage in the first quarter, and their offense continued to click in the second quarter, where they outscored Winterset 20-16.  By halftime, Ballard held a comfortable 38-27 lead. Despite a strong effort from Winterset in the third quarter, where they scored 11 points, the Bombers responded with 10 of their own, maintaining their edge going into the final frame.  In the fourth quarter, Ballard sealed the victory with a 17-point showing, outscoring Winterset 17-14 to finish strong.

The win keeps Ballard perfect on the season and sets them up for a key road game on Friday, January 17, at Bondurant-Farrar with a 7:30 PM tip-off.
