Ballard starting to show some life. @QuentinSnider4 with a quick seven points. AT - 27 Ballard - 13 w 6 min left in 1st Half #MCHoopFest

Ballard is looking a lot better in this quarter but if they want to stay in this game they will need to do a better job of rebounding the ball. It’ been a rough day on the glass so far. Part of that is due to Trey Lyles, part of that is due to the lack of boxing out.

HALFTIME:

Arsenal Tech - 41
Ballard - 33

Ballard outscored AT 31 to 17 in the 2Q

With 4:43 left in the 3rd Q, Arsenal Tech leads 47-40. Ballard hanging close, just can’t close the gap. Lyles is a beast. Snider playing well and trying to will his team to a comeback.

Going to have to keep on 2016 Ballard G Malik Dow. Doing his best to guard Trey Lyles at just 6-foot-3. Intriguing and physical prospect. A shame that he just picked up his 4th foul midway through the third. Going to be interesting to see how he gets involved in their 2nd game today.
