2017-18 Rancho Boys Basketball Capsule

RANCHO

Head coach: Ronald Childress, fifth season

2016-17 record: 13-15 (6-2 Northeast, second)

Returning lettermen (starters): Three (one)

Top players: G Jahleel Stevens (Sr.)

Outlook: Stevens is back at full strength after playing in only four games last year and missing the remainder of the season with a broken wrist.

He averaged 9 points and 3 assists per game and is expected to be the team’s catalyst.

“This inexperienced Rams team will only go as far as senior point guard and three-year starter Jahleel Stevens can take it,” Childress said. “The Rams will depend on speed and aggression to make up for a lack of size.”
