The Team Rampage Varsity team, went 5-0 this weekend in the Capital Classic Tournament in Sacramento, defeating the Reno Ballers 60-56, in the championship. American Canyon Junior Gamon Howard, won MVP of the tournament, as he led the team in scoring and steals. Team Rampage is now 7-1 in 8 games, and is currently on a 6 game winning streak. Coach Bracy was very happy with the way his team played, as they played unselfish and everybody contributed to the tournament victory.
Trey Pugh, Malcolm Bracy, Kade Lockrem, and Thomas McDonald, all provided scoring from the perimeter. They were able to knock down outside perimeter shots, as well as control the tempo of the offense. Forwards Deangelo Gomez, Joee Gantan, and Jonathon Rice, controlled the paint for Rampage, as they rebounded the ball well and also scored inside. Nik Keydeniers ran point guard, and was the assist leader for the team. Keydeniers also hit three 3point shots in the last 6 minutes of the championship game, to seal off the victory. Zarrion Walton, Carl Barnes, and Tayvon Jones played hard defense in key minutes for Rampage, and brought a lot of energy and scrappiness to the group.
Team Rampage will look to continue their success throughout the summer!
