Out & About: Ballard/Carroll Kuemper

#3 Posting 3.8.2006

Iowa State Tournament 3A Quarterfinals Game #4
Ballard 70, Carroll Kuemper 51

Again with the quicks

Ballard powered past Kuemper early with an 11-0 blitz. This time the obligatory 3 came on the second score for Ballard. Kuemper had a hard time getting anything going early and Ballard blasted away, running and pressing, and zipping by the shell shocked Kuemper team. In the second quarter Kuemper actually outscored Ballard by one 19-18. It was a moral victory. Ballard extended their lead with a 14-10 third quarter.

Height Matters: Ballard 5-9.2; Carroll Kuemper 5-9.2 But Ballard has two players that are division one players that are 6-0, and 6-2 and are strong and can handle the ball. That height number is a little bit misleading, but Ballard also starts a few small players as well that is why the average is 5-9.2
