CONGRATULATIONS to Senior Addy Newman for eclipsing the 1,000 career assists mark during tonight's volleyball season opener at Fostoria. What a way to start your Senior season! The USHS community is extremely proud of Addy's athletic accomplishments but even more proud of how she represents our school and community off the court. Congrats Addy and Go Lady Rams! Ram Pride!

What a great weekend for USHS athletics. We started things off with the Ram Rumble on Friday to preview and get excited for the many athletic teams as they begin their season journeys. Thanks to all who showed up to show your support for our student-athletes and our coaches. It was a packed house and we look forward to the continued support throughout the season. Ram Pride!
On Saturday, USHS hosted its inaugural Alumni Flag Football game. 24 former players participated in the game and got the chance to reconnect and reminisce about the "glory days". It was great to have former players from different decades come together for a friendly competition to support the current USHS football team. Thanks to all the alums who participated. A great way to cap off a great weekend in USHS athletics. Ram Pride!
