Record-shattering season tickets sales are expected for the 2008 football season at MWHS.

The first full season of play at Ram Stadium, a promising young team of football players as well as a coaching staff that is as good as any staff in the state are just a few of the reasons ticket sales could be brisk.

Mineral Well’s first football season in the new District 6-4A alignment is a another plus for the Rams and another reason season tickets sales should be strong.

Season tickets for five Mineral Wells home games cost $25 each, according to MWHS spokesperson Rhonda Small.

Other fans can purchase season tickets on Aug. 15.

Season ticket holders will have seats for home games between Mineral Wells and teams from Midlothian, Saginaw High School, Boswell High School, Haltom City Birdville and Aledo.

The Rams are also set to scrimmage the Burkburnett Bulldogs on Aug. 22 at Ram Stadium.

The Rams homecoming game against the Saginaw High School Roughriders is scheduled on Oct. 10 at 7:30 p.m.
