The Carmel community will come together to celebrate the NYS Section One AA Champion Carmel High
School Rams on Saturday, December 11 with a parade through the center of the hamlet, the County
seat.
The Carmel High School Rams won the state football championship on Saturday, December 4 at the
Carrier Dome in Syracuse. The team was undefeated all season and easily beat their semifinal rivals,
Buffalo’s Bennett Tigers, to cap the Class AA Championship title. It is the first time the Carmel Rams, or
any team from Putnam County, has won the state championship.
“This win is so exciting for the team, the coaches, the fans and our community,” said Putnam County
Executive MaryEllen Odell. “We hope everyone comes out and helps celebrate the incredible
achievement of the Rams and their coach, Todd Cayea.”
The Putnam County Championship Parade Committee, made up of proud Carmel High School graduates
and community leaders, is organizing the event. The committee is asking anyone who wants to
participate to contact District 5 Legislator Carl L. Albano at Carl.Albano@putnamcountyny.gov, or
Putnam County Tourism Director Tracey Walsh at Tracey.Walsh@putnamcountyny.gov.
Saturday’s parade will start at 11 a.m. at Reed Memorial Library and continue to the Historic Putnam
County Courthouse.
