Rough Week Keeps Rams Motivated Headed into Final Stretch

Rough stretches are always a part of sports, and every team has its ups and downs throughout the course of a season. The Glenwood Rams boys basketball team has become a bit unfamiliar with the ‘down’ part, considering they have only lost six games in the past two full seasons. However, the Rams (11-4, 6-1) might have wandered into some uncharted territory, as they have now lost two games in a row by 25+ points. The silver lining? Those games were against two of the best basketball teams the state of Nebraska has to offer.

Rams Win Fourth Straight in Blowout Over Kuemper

The Glenwood boys basketball team picked up right where they left off prior to the Winter Break. The Rams dominated every facet of their Hawkeye Ten bout with Kuemper, winning 84-62 and picking up their fourth straight victory. Glenwood was led by Christian Stanislav, who finished with 30 points and 12 rebounds. Not far behind was sophomore Ryan Blum, who posted his best game of the season, knocking down six three-pointers to finish with 29 points in total. Zach Carr rounded out Glenwood’s “big 3” with 17 points on the night.

Rams Get Back on Track with Two Dominating Wins

The Glenwood boys basketball team got back to its winning ways over the last two games. After starting 3-2 and coming off a frustrating loss in Atlantic a week ago, Glenwood returned home for a battle with Hawkeye Ten foe Denison. The Monarchs entered the game flying high with upsets over Lewis Central, Carroll and Harlan, but ultimately could not handle Glenwood's merciless press and fast-paced offense. The Rams were victorious by a score of 68-45.

Rams Try to Learn From Rocky Start, Look Ahead to Denison

Saying Glenwood’s start to the season has been a rollercoaster is an understatement. The Rams currently hold a 3-2 record with wins over Thomas Jefferson (74-52), Creston (73-51) and Saint Albert (61-43), and losses on the road against Lewis Central (59-75) and Atlantic (74-85). Glenwood’s up-and-down season has come with its triumphs as well as its perils, as the Rams have shown flashes of greatness amidst struggles.

Rams Fall at Lewis Central, Bounce Back with Win Over Saint Albert

The Glenwood boys basketball team suffered its first loss last Tuesday at Lewis Central with a final score of 75-59. The red hot Titans jumped out to an early lead in the first quarter and never looked back, keeping the Rams outside a 15-point margin through the final three quarters. After trailing 66-38 at the end of the third quarter, Glenwood made a late push to cut the defeicit nearly in half, but still could not muster enough late game magic to worry the Titans. Senior Christian Stanislav continued his early-season tear, dropping 26 points and grabbing 11 rebounds in the loss.

Stanislav, Rams Open Up Season With Dominating Victories

The Glenwood Boys’ Basketball team tipped off its season this week and picked up right where they left off back in March. The Rams notched two dominating victories to open up the 2018-19 campaign 2-0. Tuesday night, Glenwood picked up a 74-52 win over Thomas Jefferson on the road. After a slow start and a competitive first half, the Rams sorted things out and jumped out to a big lead late in the third quarter to seal the game. They were led by senior Christian Stanislav and sophomore Ryan Blum, who scored 31 and 28 on the night, respectively.

The 2017-18 Glenwood Sports calendar sports season has officially wrapped up. As always I would like to take the time to highlight my top three sports moments from the 2017-18 calendar sports season. As always it can be very difficult to pick out my top three and I’m sure I am probably missing something.
