Walt Ballard would have liked for a better homecoming, but he's pretty happy to be back at home.
Ballard was back at work full-time as the Riley Athletic Director Friday night, watching the Wildcats fall to Elkhart Central in a boys varsity basketball game.
Ballard got the call at noon on Friday that he was being reinstated to his position, one month after being placed on administrative leave.
Ballard was being accused of sexual harassment but was told there was insufficient evidence and he was reinstated.
