Season Info.

Central IL. We want to welcome our very own Semi-Pro Basketball Team of the Central Basketball Association: The River City Panthers.

As of today, I got word that River City Panthers GM/Head Coach; Bishop Smith will be sending me the list for the New Improved Roster for the 2014 CBA Season. I also found out that the season will begin March 1, 2014.

Saturday 18th RCP Tryouts

Today's Tryout was amazing, with so much talent showing up, it is going to be very hard for the RCP to pick the additional players to full up their rosters. Players like B. Baines; J.Angel; B.Lee; A.J; D.Flow; J. Wager; A. McCall; D.Well; and more, it seems they are going to have to really think about the next move.

Speaking to Bishop Smith, it is very understanding how he feel at this  point, when he made the statement today, " I wish I could keep you all, but that is not going to happen, so I want to thank each of you for coming out today, and given your all." Am going to do my best to pick the best players, that will fit the RCP Motto: "Be Professional on and off the court", for we are more then just a basketball team we are mentors, family and more importantly we have a community job to do, to bring Semi-Pro Basketball back into the light here in Peoria IL."

Introducing the new Improved RCP

When you think about Semi-Pro Basketball, many would mention D-League, PBL or ABA League, but there is a new team and league in town.

River City Panthers. RCP is a part of the Central Basketball Association. A well develop league brought forth by the well creative owners of the 4 Major teams from the CBL league in 2013.

After  much communication, prayer and understanding, and creative methods. The Bowling Green Team, MT Storms, St. Louis Hawks and our Home team River City Panthers, join together in order to form the Central Basketball Association "CBA".

RCP Basketball Team

I just want to thank Bishop Smith for giving me the opportunity to be part of the River City Panthers family. I can't wait for the season to get started! As the season progressed last year, you could see the team start to gel, and by the end of the season, 

RCP was the best team in the league, in my opinion. It looks like a good number of the best players from last year will be back, and there were some really talented new guys at the tryout last Saturday. I was very impressed with everybody at the tryout. I had the opportunity to interview all of the players at the tryout, and when I asked each of them about their goals for the season, every last one of them listed in some shape or form their main goal, is to help the team win by doing whatever the team needs.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Panthers elected to transform their brand by introducing a more professional and fiery logo to their Peoria, Illinois fan-base.
