Ramona High School boys soccer Coach Michael Jordan knew that the
Bulldogs would need to win at least one of their final three games to
have an outside chance of a berth in the CIF Division II

a three-game losing streak and a 6-14-1 overall record, including a
3-9 Valley League mark.
“When we play well, we can hang with any team in the county,” Jordan said. “We just can’t do it for a full 80 minutes.”

“I was really disappointed with the 15th seed,” said Williams. “That was the hardest thing to swallow.”

to kick off the 2009 season in a new location.
California Department of Mental Health today proposed housing sexually
violent predator Matthew Hedge at property adjacent to R.J. Donovan
State Prison in the Otay Mesa area of San Diego County.
This is the second proposed location for Hedge. The initial
recommendation in Ramona was withdrawn when the property owner, Charles
Koppa of Ramona, declined to rent to the state.
Koppa rescinded his offer to rent his vacant house at 3337 Highway 67
east of Highland Valley Road on Feb. 20, after protests from the
community—including a standing-room-only crowd at the Ramona planning
group meeting last Thursday night—and after Koppa learned more about
Hedge, convicted in 1989 of molesting two boys, 6 and 10 years old, and
two girls, ages 9 and 13.
