First of all; let me hand out some kudos to some well-deserving folks:
Kudos go out to the Rams Football team for a huge victory on the road last night! Great Job Guys!!!
Kudos go out the Aries Guard, Ramettes, and Ram Band for yesterday. Everyone performed to the best of their ability despite Mother Nature's interference. You each displayed P.R.I.D.E. and represented yourselves and our community with honor. Thank you.
Kudos go out to the Bexley Lions Club, Bexley Boosters, Bexley Music Parents, the Boy Scouts, and especially, the Bexley Marching Band, for being wonderful hosts. I truly believe this renewed tradition is here for a long time to come. Thank you.
Kudos (and my apologies) go out to SQUAD 8; Honor Squad for Week 4. In all the craziness of last night, I completely lost track of time and never announced or recognized them. Congrats to Kim Euman, Lindsay Mays, Tabetha Baumann, and Delina Farnlacher. Thank you ladies for all your hard work each and every week!!!
