With an 8-0 season thus far, the Shepherd Rams have exceeded even

their own expectations for the season.

"Our players set a goal to 'Take back the WVIAC' and they made it

come true."

 
Coach Monte Cater, Head coach for the Rams, reminisced about

a conversation with his players from last winter. After several

seasons marred with injuries that hurt them in the past. This season

has been marked with hard work on all parts of the team.

With more experience and consistency in the overall team, the Rams

were able to remain an undefeated team until November. Which can be

agreed by the whole team is a great feeling. This season is a

contributing effort by a dynamic offense. A defense that try's to

takes every advantage that is given them, which has led them to a

league best of +17 turnover margin. And a special teams that has

proven themsleves over and over again.

 
"Add all these together and you have a great mix," Coach Cater commented about his team.

With the end of the season in sight and playoffs in sight, the Rams

are staying with their method that has help lead them to an undefeated

so far.

 

"Taking it one Saturday at a time, we don't worry about rankings or

anything else," Cater commented.

 
With their ranking in the WVIAC and

ranking number 12 in Division II, the Rams standing is looking in

their favor.

"Anytime you can win a championship for your seniors. It is a great

achievement." Cater said.

 

The goal that the Shepherd Rams set for themselves has been met and

they look to exceed it..

The Shepherd Rams have one more game of the regular season against Glenville

State on Saturday, November 13th at Rams Stadium.
