It may have been a telling sign of things to come as the Rams appeared overmatched against Galion in nonconference play on Friday night. The Tigers were ahead 42-0 with 7:57 to go in the second quarter thanks to a dominant offense and stingy defense that forced two turnovers before the skies lit up and thunder rumbled in the distance, causing both teams to head to the locker rooms and fans to take cover in their vehicles.
