It’s the start of football, volleyball, and cross-country practices on Monday for Greene County and other schools around Iowa. For Ram boys’ head basketball coach Chris Nelson and his players, they had a busy summer, and the coach explains. “On Wednesdays we did a lot of skills work and shooting, Fridays was the three-on-three league and one-on-one ladder that we do with a lot of competing on that day, and then Sunday nights were Open Gym with five-on-five, four-on-four, then we go over some plays to keep things fresh in their heads.
The Rams graduated some key players in May, but will have stalwarts Richard Daugherty, Jesse Miller, and others to lead the 2022-23 team.
