ASHEVILLE-October 5, 2007-It seemed 2007 would be the year that the TC Roberson Rams, ranked 4th in the Associated Press 3A state poll, would finally pick up a win on the road against the Asheville Cougars. 

The Cougars, with history on their side, led the Rams the entire game en route to a 24-9 victory and sole possession of first place in the Mountain Athletic Conference.Read the full article here: http://prepalert.com/2007/10/06/asheville-moves-to-1st-place-in-mac-with-win-over-roberson/

In today’s 16th game of the season, we face RJ Reynolds. Our record is 14-1.

WOW! Saturday’s game was a thriller with both Asheville and E. Chapel Hill held scoreless in regulation play. Mallory Silver converted a pass from Rachel Nash to win the game 1-0. A great game had a superior ending. Hats off to the entire team for their wonderful efforts!

The next home game will be Tuesday, October 9 against Mount Tabor, the only team we have not played this season. Please note that Tuesday, October 16 will be Senior Night. Bring your hankies as we watch this fine group of Seniors play their last regular season home game.
