IMPORTANT TRAVEL INFORMATION For those planning on attending tonight's Varsity football game at Carey, here is some helpful information you will need to know about parking and road construction in Carey. PARKING: The North End of the Stadium has limited parking as we park the visiting team, as well as referees and have player parking on the Northwest side of the stadium. The South parking lot usually has the most parking available but with the construction going on with Patterson Street this is where the city is storing many of their items and several parking spots are taken up. So the South Parking area will also be very limited and fans will want to drive from off the highway and CR 97 North to South Patterson to enter the parking lot. Parking at the High School is what many fans may have to do especially if they are arriving closer to game time. Fans can park in the North parking lot at the high school and walk to the south ticket booth. (Expect a 5 minute walk) TRAVEL (from SR 15): Get off the Highway and take 23/North Vance Street and head North and go past the High School. Turn right onto Worrelo Street and not far down the road take a right into the Park area. TICKETS/STREAMING SERVICE: All Tickets Cash or online are the following … Adults $8.00 each Students $7.00 each To purchase online tickets please go the following link for Carey Athletics: https://my.hometownticketing.com/agency/2ab132ec-8c2c-481a-af29-c54f4ac691cd Carey Livestream for all Blue Devil Home Games go to the following link: https://fan.hudl.com/usa/oh/carey/organization/14453/carey-high-school/video Price is $10.00 to livestream game RAM PRIDE!

USEVS Parents: Did you know that school meals are for ALL students? School nutrition departments receive federal funding for every eligible meal that they serve. So when more students participate, it keeps the program strong for families in need.

CONGRATULATIONS to the USHS Varsity Girls Cross-Country team for their 2nd place performance at last night's Stars, Stripes, and Lights event hosted by Seneca East. The field consisted of 22 Division 2 teams and over 200 runners. The Lady Rams were paced by two top 10 finish performances. Senior Hope Morris was 4th overall with a time of 19:51.67 while Sophomore Jocelyn Leightey was 8th overall with a time of 20:07.84. Teammate Shiloh Shasteen also put in a top 20 performance with a 16th place finish (20:41.77). This runner-up performance continues the Lady Rams' impressive streak of top two team finishes. What a great start to the season for these running ladies. They will look to push their streak next week at the Galion XC Festival. RAM PRIDE!

Congratulations again gentlemen. Ram Pride!
