“We weren’t anticipating this type of crowd, especially the unsupervised young people. I don’t know if they were just looking for something to do but it’s kind of disappointing,”

The Rams are listed as independents in some media information, while the MaxPrep schedule lists them as a conference member of the Dayton City League.
