Our Seniors

Tuesday evening was Senior Night for the Southern Ram Wrestling Team.  It was a great celebration of these five awesome kids.  Each wrestler has his own story and each their own accomplishments both on and off the mat.  During the ceremony, the mothers were presented roses and the senior were given framed action shots from this season courtesy of our photographers Alex Flanigan and Kelli Fulmer.  We thought we would share our Senior Night presentation for those who were unable to attend our 67-8 win over the Northern Huskies.
