Ballard announced that they have picked up a game at home against Whitney Young High from Chicago.

 

3 strong 2014 recruits in this game with Okafor being (I think) a 5* kid.

Tickets for Whitney Young at Ballard are $6 adults, $4 kids; presale at Ballard 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Friday; gates will open at 7 p.m. Saturday.

I think this game was picked up due to the lack of tickets sold for the game that was supposed to be played at Freedom Hall against Karl Towns team and it being cancelled.... Could be wrong.

I believe you are correct. Ballard was supposed to play Karl Towns' team and Whitney Young was supposed to play Evangelical Christian. It was on twitter last night that Whitney Young still wanted to play and Coach Renner was working out the details to get a game scheduled. Looks like they got it done.

Thanks for the info Clyde. This one will be good watching the best PG in the State get after it vs. another powerhouse team. The Cards will be getting a good one after next season. By the way Quinten's last name is spelled SNIDER.

My apologies to Mr Snider.

And his first name is spelled Quentin.

Does anyone know if this game is being broadcast online through ihigh or anywhere else??? WY is outstanding, but I think Ballard's style of play with 32 minutes of pressure might bother WY. Saw them down in Fort Myers and they are really good but only play about 6 players.

The game has been cancelled.

Coach Renner said 1100 tickets had already been sold but JCPS said "no go."

Sure hated when I read that on twitter. I was looking forward to the contrasting styles between the 2 and to see if WY lack of depth was bothered by the frenetic style of play and pressure D Ballard always brings.
