Richard Ballard - Louisville City FC

Recommended Posts

Louisville City FC on Monday announced its first hometown signing, with DuPont Manual High School graduate Richard Ballard set to suit up for the club this year after an All-Big Ten Conference senior season at Indiana University.

Ballard earned a contract out of LouCity’s invitation tryouts held in January, upping the current 2017 roster count to 18 players. The team will train for two weeks later this month at Florida’s IMG Academy toward a March 25 United Soccer League season opener against Saint Louis FC. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. at Louisville Slugger Field. http://www.louisvillecityfc.com/news_article/show/754126?referrer_id=2626380

Richard Ballard provided Louisville City FC a proper homecoming Wednesday night, delivering a 57th-minute goal that propelled the boys in purple past the Charlotte Independence at Slugger Field.

In LouCity's first home game since April 29, the Louisville native Ballard sprinted into the box, found a ball deflected off teammate Cameron Lancaster and rocketed it into the back of the net for a 1-0 win.

"It felt like everything I’ve worked for paid off," said Ballard, who attended DuPont Manual High School and Indiana University. “It’s just that much sweeter to do it in front of my hometown and celebrate with my city.”

The goal was Ballard's first in USL play and his third as a professional. He scored during LouCity's preseason and again in U.S. Open Cup play.
