SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.Va. – Both Seniors and Military Veterans are to be honored prior to the Rams Saturday noon kick-off against Bloomsburg.

The 8-0 Rams will be honoring 11 seniors, including offensive lineman Joey Fisher, tight end Brian Walker, and quarterback Tyson Bagent. Shepherd, ranked third in the national American Football Coaches Association Division II Coaches’ Poll, is coming off a 47-14 win last week on the road at West Chester and looks to run past a 3-5 Bloomsburg team on their way to the PSAC Championship game.
