HUXLEY, IA – The Bomber's men's basketball team capped off their regular season home slate with a hard-fought 44-37 victory over the Winterset Huskies in Raccoon River Conference action.  The win improves Ballard's record to an impressive 18-1 (15-1 RRC) as they prepare for their postseason push.

Ballard set the tone early, jumping out to an 11-5 lead in the first quarter behind strong defensive play and efficient ball movement.  Despite Winterset's efforts to keep pace, the Bombers maintained their advantage throughout, leading 21-15 at halftime.

Ballard's defensive intensity proved to be the difference, forcing multiple turnovers and limiting Winterset's offensive opportunities.

The Bombers turn their focus to a road test against Dallas Center-Grimes on Friday, February 21.  Tip-off is set for 7:15 PM as Ballard looks to carry their momentum into postseason play.
