Yellowjackets Add Three Soccer Players (July 19, 2005)

BILLINGS, MT – Montana State-Billings men’s soccer coach Dan McNally announced Tuesday that three more players have signed to play for the Yellowjackets this fall.  McNally said his roster is nearly complete for the 2005 season.  He currently has 25 players on the roster and may add one or two more.  Joining the Jackets when fall camp opens in early August will be Jay Dougan of Lanarkshire, Scotland, Bryce Ramsey of Cheyenne, Wyo., and Jeff Davis of Cheney, Wash.

Dougan graduated in 2004 from Uddingston Grammar School.  He was a team captain and played every game as a senior.  He was also selected to play on the region team as a left fullback.  Last year Dougan attended Bell College in Glasgow, Scotland.

“I believe Jay will give the team good balance on the left hand side,” said McNally.  “He is a good athlete with the ability to provide excellent service to our forwards.  I believe Jay will be an important part of the soccer program for the next 4 years.”

Ramsey graduated in May from Cheyenne Central High School.  He lettered four times in soccer, three times is football, and once in wrestling.  An all-conference and all-state selection in both soccer and football, Ramsey was Cheyenne Central’s Male Athlete of the Year as a senior.  He earned soccer all-conference honors four times and was named all-state three times.  “Bryce is an excellent athlete with the potential to be a very good collegiate player,” said McNally.

Davis graduated from Cheney High School in June.  He lettered four times in soccer as a midfielder.  He scored four goals with eight assists as a senior to earn Greater Spokane All-League second team honors.  As a junior Davis was named to the 3A Frontier League first team..  Cheney HS won the GSL 3A Championship the last three years.

“Jeff is a solid midfield player that can play in numerous positions,” said McNally.  “He has good technical skill, and I expect him to be an impact player over the course of his career at MSU Billings.”
