Congratulations Deonte for this award. You definitely earned it, this is my first year of playing CHS football and Deonte is definitely a brother I look up to. Your one hell of an athlete and I’d say you are the definition of a Thundering Herd Athlete. Everyday at practice I see Deonte putting a lot of work. And when it comes to game time playing out on that field Deonte stands out. Congratulations again Deonte, you’ve earned it

Congratulations to Deonte for this amazing award. I am so glad Deonte was given this award. His hard work, dedication, and leadership skills all are everything a team needs to be successful. Deonte Ramsey is the top receiver in the state for receiving yards making him perfect for this award. Deonte and I have been playing together every year since we were five and to see him get this award is awesome. I am looking forward to seeing where he goes to continue his football career next. I am sure he will break records there as well. Although Deonte’s size isn’t the biggest, he makes up for it for his athletic ability. Deonte has an attack mentality to go up and get the ball and for a quarterback, that’s something that every team wants. Deonte is not only a great player but a great person as well.

This is really awesome. I remember freshman year in health when he talked about starting varsity. He always does great on the field

congratulations to Deonte for being the player of the month! he definitely deserves it; Deonte is an all around great football player who knows the game extremely well. Although he isn’t the tallest receiver he makes up for it with his speed, agility, his jumping ability, and the fact that I have never seen him drop a ball when thrown to him. in conclusion, Deonte is a great football player and his connection with Billy Burger make them a threat to any opposing team.
