Ram Country by Shirley
It was a great week in P-ville for the Portales Ram athletic programs.
Portales Rams 7-1 (2-0 District)
FOOTBALL After a week off, the Ram football team was on the road again, this time to the mountains of Ruidoso. In a Ram dominated game that could have easily ended by mercy rule at half-time, they continued with the Rams kicking a PAT instead of going for the two point conversion. The second half gave the younger players some field time and the game ended in a 58-23 win for the Rams. The Rams host Moriarty on Friday in their last home game of the season. Moriarty comes in to our district for the first time this year and they are currently ranked number three.
