Upper Sandusky Exempted Village Schools

Join us at tomorrow's JV/Varsity Girls Basketball game as we recognize and celebrate our future Lady Rams all-stars. Tomorrow is Youth Night at the Lady Rams home game against Colonel Crawford and we have a lot of fun planned. Each youth basketball girl (grades 3-6) will be admitted free if you wear your jersey/shirt and the first 40 girls (grades 3-6) will receive a free T-shirt. Finally, all youth basketball girls will be introduced at halftime of the varsity contest.

Additionally, we will be recognizing our 7th and 8th grade girls basketball team members between the JV and Varsity contests. Each team member will be admitted free of charge.

A great night of recognition and celebration for our future Lady Rams so come on out to "The Barn" tomorrow and help us celebrate.

Additionally, as a team, the Rams had a cumulative GPA of 3.38 for the 2025 season. Great effort in the classroom gentlemen.
