2015-16 Rancho Boys Basketball Capsule

RANCHO

Head coach: Ronald Childress, third season

2014-15 record: 13-15 (4-6 Southeast, third)

Returning lettermen (starters): Five (two)

Top players: F Lamont Traylor (Sr.), G Chrys Jackson (Jr.), G Travon Cotton-Taylor (So.), F Mike Hernandez (Jr.)

Outlook: Three seasons ago, the Rams were a three-win team. Coming off their most successful season in recent memory, they're hoping to continue to improve.

Traylor, who will be a three-year starter and averaged 15 points and 10 rebounds per game last year, is among five returnees for Rancho, which also brings back Jackson (8 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds per game) and Hernandez (6 ppg, 5 rpg).

"The Rams boast a talented, but young and inexperienced roster," Childress said. "We're depending on third-year starter at the point Chrys Jackson to lead the way.

"The Rams are looking to build off of their first playoff appearance in five years."
