Join us for the Legends Weekend Sue Ramsey– Head Women’s Basketball Coach at Ashland University Sue Ramsey has been named the first female to receive the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Ohio Sports Legend Award. The Ohio Sports Legend symbolizes people who have a history of giving back, of putting a high value on Christian beliefs and morals while impacting the community and places where they work and live with the Gospel. In 2012-13, Ramsey led the Ashland University Eagles to the NCAA Division II national championship with a 37-1 record, and runner ups the prior year. Ramsey was named the GLIAC coach of the year and the NCAA Division II coach of the year. From 2003-04 through the 2005-06 season, the Eagles won the GLIAC South Division title every year. The 2011-12 and 2012-13 teams won GLIAC championships. Those are the only GLIAC basketball championships in school history. Sue shares, “My job, my role, my calling and mission field is pouring into the people that God has entrusted to me. I hope my players see that faith isn’t something that only happens in church on Sundays. I pray they see that God’s Word permeates all areas of life and is applicable in all things. When their time here is done, I hope they’re better equipped to go out into the world and continue to grow in their faith and glorify God.” She joins the elite team of Ohio Sports Legends: 1999 Rex Kern, 2000 Anthony Munoz, 2001 Clark Kellogg, 2002 Jim Tressel, 2003 Chris Spielman, 2004 Dave Dravecky, 2005 Archie Griffin, 2006 Sam Rutigliano, 2007 Jerry Lucas, 2008Todd Bell (deceased), 2009 Craig Krenzel, 2010 Andre Thornton, 2011William White, 2012 Michael Redd, 2013 Tom Berrington (deceased), 2014 Randy Gradishar.
