FORT HALL – Blackfoot High School Senior, Alonzo Ramos, signed to play basketball for Big Bend Community College in Moses Lake, Washington.
Ramos stands at 5’10” and played guard for the Broncos. He looks forward to debuting on the Big Bend Vikings team next fall.
Beforehand, Ramos visited the college and chose it because he liked the community and the school’s small, but not too small sized campus. He found community college the best fit for him due to the expense and hopes to eventually finish out his degree at a larger college. His scholarship with Big Bend will cover some of his tuition expenses for the 2013-2014 school year. He plans to first pursue his general studies with plans to obtain a sports medicine degree.
