Junior Ballard (Lathrop) Soph
"Just one week after we chose Weston Ranch of Stockton point guard Jaelen Ragsdale, we couldn’t resist going for Ballard, who plays at nearby Lathrop and is in the same Valley Oak League.
Ballard, who averaged 10 points per game on Lathrop’s varsity as a freshman last season, gained entry into the State Stat Stars honor roll for a school record 45-point outing earlier this season against Sonora.
Last week, he broke the school record again, with 51 points and he did it in a 80-69 triumph over Sierra of Manteca, the four-time defending league champs and inside Sierra’s gym.
Much like Ragsdale from the previous week, Ballard went nuts in the fourth quarter as he scored 26 of his 51 points and made 10-of-10 from free throw line in just the last 35 seconds of the contest.
So far this season, Ballard is averaging 25.3 points per game."
