For the past few years, the Rams Football team has maintained a solid reputation as “the team to beat.” For this year’s team, the goal was to keep that reputation.

For many, summer is a time to kick-back, relax, and soak up the rays. Ram athletes, however, realize that working hard over the summer and success on the field go hand in hand. While catching up with leaders from each season, the Courant asked these NCHS athletes what summer athletics mean to them, and how it will pay off in the 2011/2012 season. And while each athlete is unique with their own strengths, weaknesses, and routines; they all share one common goal–bringing home the next State championship. Ladies and gentlemen, NCHS Courant presents to you the Rams Summer Diary.
