The touchdown put the Rams up 18-7 and sealed doom for the Patriots from the Northwestern 4A Conference. Stevenson, 5-6 and 155 pounds believes the Rams are maybe “A little better than last year.” “On paper, we are better than last M tin eatrl *— -*■ ienced on offense with eleven people returning.” “In actuality, I believe we are a little further along than last year,” he added.
