"Brandon was selected to play in the 'North vs. South' game as a long stick midfielder, but he really could have played well at any position," said Redcoat head coach, Scott Rossi.  Ralph had a solid game, scooping up two ground balls, dishing out one assist, and recording one shot on goal.

Brandon Ralph's talents were certainly put to good use all over the field in Berlin's inaugural varsity season, and he was solid at every position. He finished the season playing defense, but he is also credited with scoring the program's first-ever goal against Farmington. 

Ralph will attend Lyndon State in the fall and will play hockey and lacrosse.
