A great night at USHS last night as we formally inducted three new members to the USHS Athletic Hall of Fame. Coach Dick DeWitt, Matt "Doc" Thiel, and Rex Kear have made a lasting impression in various capacities on USHS athletics and we are honored to welcome them into our HOF. It was also great seeing so many community members stop by to share in the celebration and reminisce about the past. The "icing on the cake" for the night was a Ram victory on the scoreboard! Congratulations again gentlemen. Ram Pride!

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!
