Some of you may ask what is the Ulrich Family Classic? The Ulrich Classic is a day out of the year, we honor a former student, cheerleader & huge fan. Lexi Ulrich, along with her sister & parents were tragically killed in a plane crash on June 11, 2010 in Arizona. Lexi has a scholarship in her name that is given to a senior each year, for their spirit & dedication to Wiregrass Ranch High School athletics. This year we will have more teams than we've had in the previous 8 years of the event.
