I had the pleasure of watching a movie this last week called “Undefeated.” This was a documentary set in the hot south of Memphis featuring the once losing high school football team, the Manassas Tigers.
They weren’t just a bad team. They were terrible, with a 5-95 record over the past 10 years. In this film, through football and coaching, young boys grew up to be men, not just any men but “Uncommon” men.
Ramona High School’s girls lacrosse team was given the sixth seed in the CIF Division II playoffs and will host Pacific Ridge in the first-round playoff match Thursday.
“We’re very excited,” co-captain Mady Stone said of the Bulldogs making the playoffs. “We’re looking forward to our playoff game because we had a good game against Pacific Ridge last year.”
You won’t want to miss the 31st annual Home Tour set for Saturday, May 11.
Four uniquely different homes will be open for viewing from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Located throughout Ramona, the homes include:
•The historic 1886 Verlaque House at the Guy B. Woodward Museum with a display of Depression glass and antique quilts in the Barnett Barn;
Ramona High School’s boys swim team finished Valley League dual meet competition with a 4-1 record after a 107-69 home loss May 2 against Del Norte in a meet so competitive that Ramona’s Vincent Talento placed fifth in the 100-yard butterfly and still posted a consideration time for the CIF meet.

Ramona High School’s girls swim team finished the dual meet portion of the season with a 4-1 Valley League record after a May 3 home loss to Del Norte, which finished dual meet competition with a 5-0 league mark.
The Nighthawks’ 99-70 victory over Ramona, whose 89-64 victory April 30 at Valley Center set up the showdown between the two remaining teams without a league loss, gives Del Norte the advantage going into his week’s league meet at Del Norte. The final league standings, however, are based on
Ramona High School’s girls track and field team defeated Orange Glen at home May 2 to finish league dual meet competition with a 2-2 record.
The Bulldogs, who concluded the dual meet season with an overall 2-5 record, defeated the Patriots by a 94-29 score.
“We beat them pretty handily,” said head coach Sherri Edwards.
Coach Jerry Patenaude is more than a golf coach and he teaches his athletes more than golf. After his Bulldog varsity golf team cinched the Valley League championship with a perfect league record of 8-0 by beating Del Norte 213-229, Patenaude addressed both teams.
There was some controversy and bickering after the final foursome finished its round. The two teams were playing for a championship. Del Norte came into the game with a 6-1 record and a Nighthawk win would give it a share of the championship.
Coaches Robin Brainard, Cori McDonald, and Julie Doria have put their Bulldog softball team into a position to win the Valley League in the final week of the season.
The Lady Dawgs beat Oceanside and Mission Vista High Schools and a three win week in the final week will give the girls as least a share of the Valley League title.
The Bulldog tennis team finished the regular season with a non-league 15-3 victory over University City High School and then jumped into post-season action.
The Dawgs finished one of their best campaigns in school history by posting an 11-3 record overall and finished in second place in the Valley League with a 4-2 record.
