This year marks the 10th anniversary of our 2015 state championship team, and we took the opportunity to bring them back for a special celebration. The event was a chance to recognize their incredible achievement and reflect on that unforgettable season.
The 2015 team’s victory is a proud moment for our school, showcasing the dedication and teamwork that set them apart.
The event was a great reminder that the Ram spirit lives on, no matter the year. "Once a Ram, always a Ram" is more than a saying—it’s a legacy that continues to thrive as we celebrate the past and look forward to future achievements.
Here’s to 10 years of excellence and many more to come!

Game 1: The Rams gave up 3 unearned runs and fell by a score of 1-3.
Game 2: The Rams offense exploded and the Rams won 9-1. Alex Blackburn and Blake Courson combined for the win on the mound. Offensively, Riley King had two doubles while Blackburn and Ian Setzer record one double each. Blackburn has 3 RBIs while Setzer and Eli Crowder each had 2 RBIs.
Game 3: Rams fell 3-7. The offense showed life late in the game scoring 2 runs in the 6th inning and 1 run in the 7th inning, but the early deficit was too much to overcome.
The Rams finished the season 9-19-1.
