After two years at Boys Ranch, Simon believes the most valuable lesson he learned was how to interact with different types of people.

Simon thanks all his coaches for always motivating him to improve himself.

One of Simon’s favorite memories from Boys Ranch will be beating Sanford Fritch 8-7. Despite being down 2-7 in the sixth inning, the Roughriders came back with six runs, winning Boys Ranch a seat in the playoffs.

Though Simon is ready to return home to Red River, New Mexico, and start working, he will miss the many sports he had the opportunity to play at Boys Ranch.

Thanks to our generous supporters, Boys Ranch graduates are beginning the next chapter in their lives as they further their education, start a career or go onto trade school. We hope you’ll consider giving to help young people like Simon learn important life skills while in our care!
