Aurora Public Schools

💔 A message from our Rangeview Boys Baskteball Team:

We wanted to share that our longtime boys basketball game announcer 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐆𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐳 passed away the evening of Wednesday, Aug. 12th. Rich was our announcer from 1983 to 2025 and inducted into the RHS Hall of Fame in 2023. Rich was an unwavering supporter, as well as a beam of light and energy to our players and program, even after his retirement. He will be dearly missed.

Raider Boys Hoops will honor him at a game this upcoming season. More details to come…
