Ramey School Physical Education staff will hold its’ annual Jump Rope for Heart and Hoops for Heart fund-

raiser on 02/17 and 02/24 respectively. JRFH/HFH are initiatives sponsored by the American Heart Association. Do-

nations are used to fund research to discover critical advancements in treatment and prevention. Additionally, kids

learn how to be healthy and the importance of helping others. Darcy Desarden, Ramey School Art teacher, in con-

junction with the physical education department, will also organize an JRFH / HFH poster competition for her 2nd-12th

grade students. The Ramey Athletic Booster Club will provide ribbons for top three places in each jump rope and

hoops event. The jump rope events include: double Dutch, jogging step (speed), jump rope sprint, creative routine,

among others. While basketball events include: free-throw, side-shot, spot shot, knock-out and 3 vs 3. We appreciate

your help and donations. Go Ramey!

Thus far, The Bombers Boys’ junior varsity and varsity

basketball teams are hard at work in search of their first

win of the season. Although the team has faced extreme-

ly tough competition to start the season, Coaches James

Otero and Jose Morales remain optimistic about the teams’ potential. Together,

they are hard at work in an attempt to get the teams on the right track. The teams’

biggest issue seems to be turnovers. The Bombers have turned the ball over more than their opponents in each

game. “Right now we are making too many rookie mistakes, making bad passes, not catching the ball, and missing

layups”, said Coach Morales. With a little more confidence and improvement in ball control and handling, the team

could easily reverse this trend. On the offensive end of the court, the team has

struggled for consistency. However, as of late, the team has shown tremendous

improvement in this area. “We know its is mid-season with. The season is going

fast. Now is the time to correct our mistakes and play great basketball”, said Coach

Morales. “We are relying on last years’ returning players to use their experience

and leadership on the court to achieve our goals”. Notable bright spots have been

scoring leaders Ryan Ellsworth (JV) and Angel Desantiago (V) and rebounding

LADY BOMBERS SOCCER TEAM: V Hang Tough; JV to Contend Divisional Title: Quarterfinal 02/15

The Lady Bombers soccer teams have played extremely well this season. Although, the varsity does not have

much to show for it in terms of wins, the team has played outstanding soccer. “The ladies have played very hard and well

from day one”, said Coach Gonzalez. Coach Yeck and I are proud about their effort, the exciting brand of soccer that they

play and the way they have conducted themselves on and off the field of play”. The lone draw back, has been their inability to

put all facets: offense, defense and goalkeeping together consistently. Co-Captains Alanis “Hannah” Rodriguez and Nicole

“Jr.” Jimenez have provided the on-the-field leadership necessary to play well and hard while remaining composed during

critical moments of the game. Great job ladies!

Meanwhile, the junior varsity has quietly put together an outstanding season. After a 1-2 (w-l) start, the team was

unbeaten during the final seven games of the season, clinching a third place tie with Robinson School in the process. During

the seven game stretch, the team outscored their opponents 13-1; freshman keeper Tatiana Perea recorded 5 shutouts; and

8th grade forward, Carolina Suarez, scored 5 goals.

The team is seeded fourth in the six team playoff tournament (tie breaking rules: Robinson defeated Ramey 2-1).

The Lady Bombers will take on a perennial tough foe, Baldwin School, in the playoff quarterfinal on Wednesday 02/15 at

home (3:30 PM). (current record: 7-2-1, w-l-t) Go Ramey, Go!
