Expert Analysis
Tony Roe | Prep Hoops Scout
Ballenger transferred to play his senior year at MOC-Floyd Valley after spending his first three years at St. Albert. Last season he averaged 14.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.9 steals per game on 37-34-67 shooting splits, and playing alongside more talent at MOC, his efficiency numbers should improve in his senior year. He’s a smart guard who can knock down shots from anywhere, plays with pace, and can get his teammates involved.

Ballenger put together a nice sophomore year for the Falcons, leading the team in scoring at 13.5 points per game while shooting nearly 36% from behind the arc. He has a quick release off the catch, and has really improved over the last year as a shot creator, improving as a ball-handler and decision-maker with the ball in his hands.

A talented scoring guard who can fill it up in a hurry from all three levels, Ballenger has the ability to take over the game offensively whether he’s operating as an off-ball shooter or a playmaker off the dribble. St. Albert should be improved this year, and Ballenger is a big reason why.

Ballenger had a good freshman season, averaging 11.6 points and knocking down nearly 38% of his 3-point attempts. He’s a really good shooter, especially off the catch, and he has worked hard throughout the spring and summer to improve as a playmaker and as a shooter off the dribble. Look for him to have a breakout sophomore season for the Falcons.
