After missing out on the division title by just one point last season, Ballard FC were eager to grab their first division championship this season and clinched with two league matches remaining.

Community Guidelines
These are some proposed guidelines to get us started, but open to discussion!
- Hot takes and strong opinions go hand in hand with fandom, especially with a supporter community as passionate as the Sounders'. Still: keep it supportive! Remember that players are people and our boys bleed blue and green, even on an off day. Overwhelming negativity is not an attractive look.
- Abusive language directed towards anyone - including opposing teams - is not acceptable. Similarly, racist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, or other hateful language or content will not be tolerated.
- This community is meant for Sounders-related discussions and content. We welcome fans of all teams to share in these discussions. Trolling or brigading by opposition fan groups, however, will be removed. Similarly, encouraging the trolling or brigading of other communities is not acceptable.
- While most content will be Sounders-focused, we welcome posts & discussion about any Seattle- or Washington-based soccer teams (e.g. OL Reign, Defiance, Ballard FC)

I wonder if he'll be able to get a pro contract (if he wants to) somewhere. Seeing Alex Mejia sign with a first division club in Honduras makes me wonder about some of the other guys - McGlynn, Kingston, etc. It's a tricky thing when they are a little bit older than many of the usual prospects. I think McGlynn was super draft eligible last year but not selected?
Will be interested to see how this works out - maybe some USL1 or USLC contracts?
Just speculating, but I suspect McGlynn probably has interest -- he was only not with Ballard for the first half of the season because he was playing for Sly Fox in TST in Vegas. I would love to see him and Kingston take the next step -- maybe with the new USL1 club starting up in Spokane?
Yeah, that would be cool. It was fun to see McGlynn playing alongside Brad Evans, Nick Rimando, etc. I only caught some of TST but he didn't look out of depth at all. Hopefully the exposure gets him some looks. I think he had a previous camp call-up to USMNT U19, so seems like he's been rated highly in the past too.
