After an incredible season that included a second-straight Region 1 All A championship, a 3rd district championship, and a run to the regional finals, the Lady Bombers season ended on October 28 when the McCracken County Lady Mustangs defeated BMHS 3-0 to win their 9th straight title without losing a set in tournament play.
After earning the right to host the Region 1 tournament in the Green Palace by virtue of winning the 3rd District championship, the Lady Bombers rolled through the first round with a 25-15, 25-9, 25-8 win over the Hickman County Lady Falcons. In the semi-finals, BMHS faced the Lady Marshals of Marshall County with whom they had split two 3-2 contests earlier in the season. Ballard's ladies played one of their strongest matches of the season and defeated the Lady Marshals 3-0 (25-16, 25-21, and 25-14).
With a packed gymnasium and a raucous environment, the Lady Bombers entered the finals with hopes of finally breaking through the barrier against the Lady Mustangs, who had lost a set to Marshall County in a regular season match earlier in the year. Despite competitive sets, BMHS fell in the first two sets 25-17 and 25-18 and were deflated, leading to a more lop-sided 25-13 loss in the final set.
The Lady Bombers ended their season with a 32-6 record.
