Congratulations to Landon Schlieper and Carson Schilling for being named to the First Team for the 1A All Idaho Baseball Team! Landon was selected as an infielder. Landon had a batting average (.427), on-base percentage (.574), slugging percentage (.572) and RBI's (22). Carson was selected as an outfielder. Carson's range, sure hands and arm made him a defensive weapon out there roaming Center Field. Carson hit .257 and got on base at a .411 clip. Nice job to both and the whole team! Go Rams!!!

Congratulations to the CVHS baseball team for bringing home the 3rd place trophy this year in the 1A State Baseball Tournament! It was exciting to be down there in Boise at Capital HS to witness it first hand, as I am the tournament director for the 1A state baseball tournament. After a 2nd place finish last year, the Rams baseball team had to fight hard for their 3rd place finish, as they had to go to extra innings to get the win vs Troy in the 3rd/4th place game! Nice job to all of the coaches, players, and to everyone that made this a successful year! Go Rams!!!
Congratulations to our CVHS softball team that took home the 3rd place trophy this last week at the 1A State Softball Tournament in Genesee!

Nice job to all of the coaches, players, and to everyone that made this year a successful year! Go Rams!!!
Congratulations to Tiago Pickering for being named this week's Ram of the Week! Tiago is a Junior on the CVHS baseball team that just finished with a 3rd place showing this last week at the 1A State Baseball Tournament this last week at Capital HS! Nice work Tiago! Go Rams!!!
