Seriously though, let's put this in perspective.
Southern's boys graduated 8 seniors last year.
5 of those seniors were starters.
7 of those 8 were in the 9-man rotation.
What they have done is unreal
Final Score, 1A State Semifinal:
Crisfield - 52
Southern - 66
The Rams are now 23-2, on a 20-game winning streak, and are playing tomorrow at 1 p.m. for the state championship against Lake Clifton.
Final score:
Allegany - 0
Southern - 28
This is the first time Southern has beaten Allegany since 2000. Thanks to Robyn Nazelrod for that tidbit.
The Rams are now 7-2 and will likely move above the playoff line to 4th in the region.
After a lot of thinking and prayers, I am blessed to announce that I will be continuing my athletic and academic career at West Virginia University! Most importantly I want to thank God but also my family, coaches and teammates!

Northern freshman wrestler Jacob Brenneman DOMINATED his way to a state title tonight!
From head coach Casey Kemp:
"Only gave up one point the entire state tournemnt! Knocking off last year's 3a/4a runner up 9-0. Then beating the returning 2x state champ 5-1."
Courtney Roth's career varsity record as a Ram is 91-13.
That makes her officially the all-time winningest player in the history of Southern Garrett basketball.
It's a sad, tragic day today.
Please send your thoughts and prayers to everyone in the Fort Hill community and to the family and friends of Saiquan Jenkins.

@nhsdpg
With that win, the Southern boys and girls basketball teams combined for just one loss at home in 2017-18.
Ram Arena has had a good year.
@THE6THMANOFSHS
Tired:
Using Enter Sandman or other traditional "hype tunes" has your entrance music 😑
Wired:
Using "Jesus Christ Superstar" as your entrance music played by a high school pep band 😎
Huge shoutout to Frankfort's Abby Beeman who scored her 2,000th career point earlier today

4. Downton Abbey (a show some people like)
@falconsgirlsbb
I cannot believe basketball isn't Isaac Upole's primary sport. This kid is just unreal to watch.
Also we finally got our first "He's a sophomore" chant in Ram Arena this season.
Also the Northern student who yelled "WHY ARE WE YELLING" a couple minutes ago caused me to laugh for at least 15 seconds.
I think it was Ian Eggleston. It just seems like one of those wacky things he would do.
Southern boys through this six-game home stretch
Southern 62 Keyser 29
Southern 69 Northern 38
Southern 70 Fort Hill 42
Southern 63 Broadfording 30
Southern 62 Allegany 30
Southern 62 Hampshire 25
Average margin of victory: 32.3 points
In all seriousness, you all made 2018 a blast. I've met a lot of cool people and have watched a lot of great sports here.
Here's to a great 2019. Love you all.
I am standing outside in downtown Oakland and I hear somebody practicing what sounds like a B-Major scale on bagpipes.
Bagpipes.
Man, Southern sending two teams to the basketball final four has made everything weird and I'm here for it.
This is fantastic.

Rams are now 28-0. They're good.
The Lady Rams getting a 2 seed after losing what seemed like 100 seniors from last year's championship team while also losing one of their most experienced and best defensive players (Laina Holler) to a season-ending injury in January is, to be frank, astounding.
Southern head coach Tom Bosley will be coaching on ESPN2 and will have some of the best high school basketball players in the country at his disposal.
If they run the play "Sycamore" the town of Oakland will burn to the ground.

Still though, what a season for the Rams. Can't say enough about how much fun they were to watch.
Anyway, next week we'll be live from Towson University for the girls basketball Final Four.
Final Score girls 1A West Region Championship:
Catoctin - 46
Southern - 58
The Lady Rams are going back to the MD final four for the 6th consecutive season.
See you in Towson!
One of the really cool things about these tournaments is how Northern and Southern wrestlers/fans are actively rooting for each other.
It's like they've adopted a "Garrett County vs the World" mentality

@MikeMathewsCTN
presented last year's Southern boys' and girls' varsity teams with the 2018 area championship trophy.
To everyone graduating this week:
Good luck to all of you in your future endeavors. You are definitely the best Class of 2019 of all time. Remember that.

Congratulations to Southern sophomore Isaac Upole to being named to the 2020 Rawlings Perfect Game Preseason Underclassmen High Honorable Mention All-America team! (Wow that is a mouthful)
Final score, sectional championship:
Mtn. Ridge - 64
Southern - 80
The Rams are now 21-2, have won 19 in a row, and are the 1A West Section I champions for the second year in a row.
Southern will play in the 1A West Regional Championship at 6 p.m. at Allegany College.
So I'm just gonna put it like this...
Friday night's game between Northern and Southern at The Igloo is gonna be pure bedlam.
The Dillan Orendorf vs Tyler Rodeheaver matchup by itself is prime time stuff. Both juniors as well.
Can't wait.
Also before I get back on the road (stopped to eat in Hagerstown)...
Huge shoutout once again to
@jshaw28
and the Southern Ram pep band. I'm looking forward to seeing their music program continue to grow over the next few years.
Peyton Wilson enters the game.
Student section yells "IT'S PEYTON TIME"
Peyton Wilson immediately scores a layup.
Luke Adams comes in.
Student section goes "LUUUUUUKE"
Luke Adams immediately hits a three.
It's been that kind of night for the Rams. They lead 72-41
Also shoutout to the dad of Southern starting pitcher Jordyn Warnick for catching a foul ball coming directly towards my face while I was constructing the last tweet. He saved my life. 😂
Update from Allegany:
Final score, girls bball:
Southern - 48
Allegany - 39
Absolutely massive road win for the Lady Rams in the regular season finale.
