The Team Rampage Varsity team, continues its win streak after defeating the Reno Ballers 49-46. This was the second time in the past month these two teams faced each other, the first time was in the championship game in the Capital City Classic in Sacramento, CA. In that game, Team Rampage jumped out to an early 8-0 lead, before the Ballers made a 12-0 run to take the lead. A lot of lead changes took place in their first matchup, but Team Rampage was able to win the game 60-56. In their second meeting, it was the Ballers who jumped out to an early lead, as they started off the game with a 20-5 lead. However, Rampage would play remarkable defense to close the first half by holding the Ballers to a seven minute scoring drought, and closing the gap to 22-15. Their great defense would continue, as they would eventually take a 45-44 lead late in the game.
Team Rampage would go on to defeat the Reno Ballers a second time, to win the first annual, "Team Rampage Surging Stars" Tournament. This tournament victory would be Team Rampage's 8th win in a row, and second tournament victory in a row. The win is also their 10th win in their last 11 games, their only lost coming to "Red and Black" by 2 points. Coach Bracy and his group will have next weekend off, as they will now prepare for the Compton Magic Adidas Memorial Day tournament in Southern California, on May 28th.
