The Ballard women's basketball team delivered an impressive 39-23 victory over conference rival Boone on Tuesday night.  The win brings the Bombers' record to 2-3 overall and 1-1 in conference play.

The Bombers set the tone early, dominating the first quarter with relentless defense and quick transitions, leading 11-2 after the opening period.  They maintained their momentum into the second quarter, outscoring Boone 12-3 to head into halftime with a commanding 23-5 lead.

Boone attempted a rally in the third quarter, scoring 11 points—nearly matching their total from the first half—but Ballard's balanced offense and consistent rebounding kept the game firmly in control.  Despite a slower fourth quarter offensively, the Bombers' early lead proved insurmountable, securing the decisive win.

Ballard showcased a strong defensive effort throughout the night, holding Boone to single-digit scoring in three of the four quarters.  The Bombers' teamwork and energy on both ends of the court were key factors in the victory.

Up next, Ballard faces a tough road challenge against second-ranked North Polk on Friday, December 13, with tip-off set for 6:00 PM.
