• Verona Battles Back but Falls Just Short to Ramsey, 27-21 (tapinto.net) — Verona High's Hillbillies nearly erased a 21-point deficit at home Friday night, ultimately falling 27-21 to a strong Ramsey squad. After a rough first quarter, Verona's offense and defense surged back, with big plays from Dante Palmer and Nick Nazzaretto showcasing resilience that should encourage local fans for the rest of the season.
