Northeast Kansas Co-Champions
The 2018 football team brought home hardware this football season, winning half of the league championship with the ACCMS Tigers. The Rams went 8-1 on the season with their only loss coming at the hands of Atchison Middle School in a non-league match-up. Congratulations to this year's Football squad on their outstanding season!
