Playoff Game in October? Yes indeed!
After notching their first district win with a 28-19 win over the WT White Longhorns last Friday night, the Rams now enter “LH week” with their eyes on getting a pivotal second district win. The Wildcats enter the contest with a perfect 3-0 district mark (4-2 overall) and are fresh off of a 37-6 win over the Sunset Bison. The Wildcats are lead by QB Michael Ketchmark and the strong running duo of Jacobi Johnson and Devonte Sunwengham. The Wildcats have a four game winning streak in the series with the Rams last winning coming in 2006. With playoff implications and the added bonus of a bitter rivalry, this should be a great game. A LH win will set them up for a playoff spot and showdown with Skyline for the district championship. A Berkner win will give them a 2-2 district mark and a final run against Richardson, Sunset, and Samuel for a playoff berth of their own. Game time at Ram-Wildcat this Friday is set for 7:30pm.
Rams Need a Win!!
Reminder- The Ram Varsity FB team will be seeking its first district win as it travels to Loos Stadium to take on the pesky WT White Longhorns on Friday night (Oct. 7). The Longhorns are coming off of a loss to the LH Wildcats and the Rams are eager to move on from a tough 42-34 loss in 4 OT’s to the Jesuit Rangers. Kickoff is set for 7:30pm. Be there!!

Rams Lose District Opener
District Opener-Rams v.s Raiders
The “open” week was a great time to reflect on the non-district successes and the difficult district schedule that lies ahead. After a hard fought 20-10 home loss to the Southlake Carroll Dragons, the Rams (2-1) used the off week to heal some bruises and take a little extra time to study the Skyline Raiders. The Raiders (3-0) enter the game having beaten Arlington Bowie, Memphis Ridgeway (Tennessee), and Cocoa (Florida) in three televised contests. The Raiders are led by several Division I level athletes, with Peter Jinkens, David Green, Thomas Johnson, and Davante Kincaide dominating the statistics. The Raider offensive line is massive with the starting five averaging about 280 lbs. per man. The challenge of slowing down the high octane Raider offense is a large one and the equally large task of moving the ball against the speedy Skyline defense has the Rams spending extra time on the chalkboard.
Kickoff is scheduled for Friday, Sept. 23rd at Forester Field and should occur at 7:30pm sharp.
In subvarsity action, the 9th Green team will host the Raiders at the Berkner “B” Field at 6pm on Thurs. Sept. 22 followed by the JV game at approximately 7:30pm. The 9th White team will actually travel to Ram-Wildcat Stadium for a 5:30 pm kickoff against the LH Wildcats
Rams Rout North Crowley 42-6
Our Varsity Rams football team made it two for two on the season with a 42-6 win over the North Crowley Panthers last night. Our Ram defensive unit allowed only 69 total yds and 5 first downs in a dominating performance. Defensive end Quincy Carter picked up a fumble and rumbled 28 yards for a score. QB Yedidiah Louis led a strong offensive effort as he accounted for 184 yards of the team’s 300 plus rushing yards and ran for a long TD. He also threw an 18 yd TD pass to Luke Russell. Fred White, Jaylon Terrell, and K’Lon Green all scored rushing TD’s. Kicker Keith “Toby Keith” Tobin kicked all 6 extra points as well.
Our varsity returns to action next Friday night (Sept. 9) when the Southlake Carroll Dragons visit Ram Stadium. The Dragons are also 2-0 after posting impressive wins over Copperas Cove and L.D.Bell. The Dragons are led by QB Kenny Hill and one of the best set of receivers in the state of Texas. Last year’s contest was a memorable one as the Dragons overcame a 10 point 4th quarter deficit and defeated the Rams in OT. Get your tickets next week in Mrs. Flesch’s office for what will be the largest crowd of the year.
