Things are heating up in RamLand and Athletic Director and Rams head coach Cody Worrell gave us a weekly update on all the things happening in Ram sports.
Starting with volleyball, Worrell updated on the strong start the Lady Rams are having. “Volleyball was very busy this past week! The Lady Rams had two games last Tuesday night, and a three-day tournament for all three teams this past weekend. Fresh/JV played in a tournament in Breckenridge this past weekend and the Varsity played their tournament in Abilene.” Results from those tournaments are as follows, ” The freshmen went 2-2 on the weekend, and the JV went 3-1 on their weekend at the Breckenridge tournament. The Varsity Lady Rams went 4-3 on the weekend with wins over Brownwood, Dallas Hillcrest, Sweetwater, and Ingram Moore!”
He added the upcoming matches for the Lady Rams, “The Lady Rams will be back in action this week as we are set to host Benbrook on Tuesday night (Fresh/JV starting at 6:00 p.m., and Varsity to follow). Fresh/JV will be playing the Poolville tournament this weekend, and the Varsity Lady Rams will be playing at the Sanger tournament.”
Next up, Worrell spoke on Cross Country, who competed in Burkburnett and finished well. Worrell expanded with, “Team 1 for the Varsity Girls finished in 2nd place overall, and Team 2 for the Varsity Girls finished in 4th place! Team 1 for the Varsity Boys finished in 1st place overall, and Team 2 finished in 3rd place! The JV Boys also finished in 1st place overall!”
In tennis news, Rams AD added, “Tennis also had a great showing this past week as they hosted Millsap last Monday night! The Rams/Lady Rams won 17 out of 19 total matches!”
And last, but not least, in football news Worrell updated, “Football had their first scrimmage of the season last Thursday evening in Peaster. The Rams had a great scrimmage and are looking forward to another scrimmage this week. Mineral Wells will be hosting Springtown on Thursday night for the second and final scrimmage of the season! Fresh/JV will both start at 5:30 p.m., and the Varsity will start at 7:00 p.m.”
Also adding, “Both Springtown and Mineral Wells will be participating in the THSCEF’s (Texas High School Coaches Education Foundation) “Our Day to Shine” campaign. To date, “Our Day to Shine” has involved over 1,165 schools and raised over $721,000 for the THSCEF Benevolence Fund. The Texas High School Coaches Education Foundation has paid over $641,000 to athletes and coaches experiencing hardships. “Our Day to Shine” is simply cash/Venmo donations at the gate, and 100% of all donations will go the THSCEF Benevolence Fund.
