2017-18 Rancho Girls Basketball Capsule

RANCHO

Head coach: Ashley Vossen, fifth season

2016-17 record: 13-16 (5-3 Northeast, second)

Returning letter winners (starters): Five (three)

Top players: G Kyndal Ricks (Sr.), G Lea Williams (Sr.), F Alesse Hall (Sr.)

Outlook: The Rams return their top three scorers from last season in Ricks (14.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals per game), Williams (8.5 ppg) and Hall (5.4 ppg).

But they’ll need someone to pick up the slack on the boards after leading rebounder Sam Pochop (9.5 rpg) graduated.

“We have a solid returning backcourt with Kyndal Ricks running the point and Lea Williams as the shooting guard,” Vossen said. “We have some young talent that we believe can make an impact, but we know there’s lots of work to be done across the board.

“Knowing that we already have the buy in from all of the girls, we see success in our future.”
