Shepherd 2022

[Ram040506]

Week 1 opponent is on the site now. Southern Connecticut State from the NE-10 conference. Playing away this year on 9/1 Thursday. https://shepherdrams.com/sports/football/schedule/2022

The most common conferences in '18,'19 and '21 were NE10 17/48, GMAC 9/48 and GLIAC 6/48 for a total of 32/48 or 66.7% of all PSAC OOC games. 13 of the 17 games versus the NE10 were Eastern PSAC teams. For whatever reason, possibly travel, games against the CIAA are rare.

Shepherd has a lot more history with CIAA scheduling than the rest of the PSAC (location the reason most likely). Virginia Union, Virginia State and Bowie have all been home and home series within the last 20 seasons.

It's going to be hard to schedule an OOC for Shepherd with our old conference. Rams might be on a "no fly" list due to our abandoning our old friends... If it happens I'd bet its another GMAC team or CIAA, otherwise we will just go with a conference schedule.

Hooking up with Glenville would have been nice for old times sake. Frostburg had an open date that I think they filled as well instead of playing the Rams.

I'll just say this. The MEC may have been able to keep Shepherd if they truly wanted to. However, I like the position that Shepherd is in now.

Any word on an OOC opponent?

Zane Lewis WR/KR entered the transfer portal for the Rams. Was a decent returner, but probably saw the writing on the wall with all the WR's coming in. Good luck to him.

They obviously made a good sales pitch to the kids at Northwest High in Germantown.

And Teddy Roosevelt HS in DC.

Good to finally get a few Dematha players as well, I don't recall the Rams ever getting in on much of the WCAC conference. Some good HS ball in that league.

He's got quite the rebuild to do down there. Shepherd has certainly done much better in the panhandle since Bagent came aboard. Embracing it, I don't understand why it took so long or why Cater didn't look for more backyard talent.

I see Walker finally moved Teddy Marshall back over to offense. I have no idea why he didn't start there; he was a next-level talent.

Lean on that Martinsburg pipeline before Dave Walker does ... you can't go wrong ...

Matthew Benny 6'2" 290 lbs OL Archbishop Spalding HS Severn, MD- 4 year starter. Certainly looks the part of an early contributor.
