Feature Article

Thank you for participating in the 2009 Bull Roast. It was a huge success and a great time was had by all!!

Congrats to the guys for finishing first in the Christmas 7's. They played well despite the horrible weather.

There is one more Ravens game that needs to be covered. It is the December 20th game against the Bears. There is still time to get TEAM Trained even if you can't work. We will be doing this next year so get trained now. There are some of you who have not worked and are not TEAM Trained. That shows us you are not committed to the team's future.
