Beavers back to school, first game Friday

Today’s the first day of school at Ballard High, and the Beavers will take on Liberty at Memorial Stadium this Friday evening in the first varsity football game of the season. It’s also the first season for head coach John Bowers. So what’s the scouting report? “With the new KingCo 4A alignment, three of the five teams Ballard beat last season are no longer on the schedule,” explains the Seattle Times. “Two of those opponents have been replaced with Bothell and Skyline, two state contenders.” All the more reason to show your support by wearing your red and black and learning a couple Ballard High cheers, as taught by the young ladies in this video clip. Go Beavers!
