WELCOME TO THE ZONE! The USHS Athletic Department is excited to offer a new vantage point for our USHS student section this season. The Zone will be open to high school students only and will allow them to get closer to the action and root on the Rams as they take the field. We know that the students will be responsible and respectful to our opponents and officials while in The Zone and we trust that they will provide the "hype" the team needs to get the wins. Go Rams! Ram Pride!
