Congratulations Jeffry Parra of East Ramapo! He will be joining The Tampa Bay Rays baseball team.

“I was thinking about going to North Rockland cause I had a lot of friends there, but my dad told me that it’s not about the school,” Parra said. “If you’re good, somebody is going to see you wherever you are. Also, I had a good relationship with coach (R.J.) MacKenzie. I still do, so that was another reason why I stayed there.”

“This is a huge lift for our district,” coach R.J. MacKenzie said. “A lot of our athletes feel like they have to go to private school to make it to the next level in athletics. However, this shows everyone your dreams can come true right in your home district. You don’t need to go anywhere else. Jeffry Parra is living proof.”

“I’m very proud to say I came out of East Ramapo,” Parra said. “This is what I worked for all my life, so it’s pretty awesome.”
