The Red Devils went undefeated in district play and won their second straight district title, amid lofty expectations in 2026. Ramos, a senior captain, said everybody is in high spirits. "Just being able to experience that two years in a row is amazing," he said.
He is one of just two seniors on the squad, so veteran leadership falls on his shoulders. He doesn't carry it alone. Ramos grew up with fellow senior Kayin Hanna and loves winning next to him. "We love going out there and doing it and having fun with each other on the field," Ramos said.
Rankin plays Klondike in the bi-district round on Thursday. Ramos credits the program for his work ethic, which he sums up as giving it all every single time and letting good things happen. He wants the season to last. "I'm going to try to do as much as I can every game so I can have more games with all of my friends," he said.
The postseason goal ends in Arlington.
