A year ago, there was a new AAU Basketball Club out of Vallejo, CA called Team Rampage. Its first team ever would be a 17 and under team, which would feature local players from the Vallejo area. A year later, Team Rampage has produced three teams ranked in the top ten in the bay area, the 14 and under, 11 and under, and the 8 and under teams. With the success of the younger teams, Team Rampage has become a well known organization in Northern California. This leads to everybody wondering, what will this year's varsity team look like?
After holding tryouts last Saturday, it is safe to say that the word has gotten out about this program. Coach Bracy has recruited players from American Canyon, Modesto, Berkeley, Benicia, Martinez, and Concord, to shape up this year's roster. There are only two returnees on this year's 17 and under roster, the rest are all new faces. Coach Bracy is very excited about this year's group, and hopes that his team can make some noise this spring and summer. However, his road will not be easy as the varsity team, has a tough schedule that includes, the Oakland Rebels Golden State Showdown, Gerry Frietas's Nor-Cal Showcase, the Sacramento Yellow Jackets Capital City Classic, Las Vegas Big Foot Hoops, and Play Hard Play Smart's tournament taking place this Sunday. Bracy believes his roster can handle the heat of the schedule, but only time will tell.
