The Ballard High School girls basketball team's Jan. 22 comeback attempt fell short as the Beavers lost to Inglemoor 43-35 in overtime.

Ballard was trailing 33-24 heading into the fourth quarter. But after the Beavers forced a handful of Inlgemoor turnovers, senior Kayla Wenger tied the game at 35 on a free throw with 1:50 remaining.

Neither team would score in regulation, though Ballard had a chance to put the game away on a fast break in the final seconds.

The Beavers appeared to run out of gas in overtime, as Inglemoor shut them out in the extra period.

Wenger had a game-high 10 points, and junior Elena DeWeese chipped in nine.

The loss dropped Ballard to 1-9 in KingCo and 3-11 overall.

The team takes on Eastlake at 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 27 at Ballard High School.
