BERLIN CENTER, OH-  In an engaging interview on the YSN podcast, junior student-athlete Alton Ramsey shared insights into his high school football team’s successful season and his personal journey both on and off the field. Hosted by Chris Colucci, the conversation delved into the triumphs and challenges that come with maintaining a winning streak and a cohesive team dynamic.

Ramsey, a key player on his football team, highlighted the importance of unity and communication among teammates. Reflecting on a challenging game against Crestview, Ramsey explained, “During the first half, we were not bonding, and it was rough. But we pulled together in the locker room, realizing that we are brothers and need to support each other.”

The team’s recent victory over Louisville was a significant milestone, given that Louisville had ousted them from the playoffs the previous year. Ramsey, an offensive lineman, praised his team’s overall performance, especially in the crucial areas of practice and in-game adjustments. “We worked on our combo blocks, and it paid off. Our trust in each other and our running backs’ ability to fix mistakes were vital to our success,” he noted.

Looking ahead, Ramsey anticipates another demanding game against Camel. While acknowledging Camel’s strengths, he emphasized his team’s approach, “They’re more of a speed team, and we focus on hitting hard and wearing them down to secure victories.”

Besides football, Ramsey also has a passion for wrestling, a sport he began in kindergarten. He returned to it after a hiatus, realizing its benefits for his football skills. “Wrestling and football have a huge correlation. Wrestling makes you a better football player and vice versa,” he said.

As for his future plans, Ramsey is eyeing a career in aviation maintenance. While currently attending MCCTC for aviation maintenance, he looks forward to the challenges and rewards of the field, despite its complexities. “It’s like the automotive business but with more mathematics,” he shared.

Ramsey, whose life largely revolves around sports, admits that his dedication leaves little room for other activities. However, his commitment to excellence on the field and in the classroom sets a positive example for his peers.

As the season continues, Alton Ramsey and his team remain focused on their goals, determined to maintain their unbeaten record and further solidify their brotherhood.
