MEET YOUR RIVER CITY PANTHERS

Meet Your River City Panthers

# 2 "Big Game" James Johnson  G  6'3" Lakeland College 
One of the best 3 point shooters you'll ever see. Earned nickname with his with his performances in clutch situations. The bigger the game, the better he plays. A sharp shooter who can hit from anywhere on the court.

# 5 Josh Wagner  C  7' 1"  Eureka
Second season with the Panthers. Has the size to bang in the paint with anyone, but also can step outside & knock down the jumper. This ability forces the defense to extend, which opens the lane for team mates.Was near the tops in the league last season in both rebounds and blocked shots.

# 11 DeWayne "The Sauce"Flournoy  G  6'  Rockford
Nicknamed for his flair on the court. He's quick, can handle the rock, & is a major weapon for the Panthers, especially on defense, where he led the league in steals last year. Unselfish, good assist guy, but  he can also hit the J, or take it to the hole.

Hoop City Sports Radio small interview with TeamRCP

Editor Jamie Sullivan

On Feb 18, 2014 I had the pleasure to spend a little time with Team River City Panthers players. Interviewing them for a few minutes to just understand their goals and ideals about being a part of the #RCP.

It was amazing to know that many of the players have college and overseas experiences within the basketball arena. As they prepare for the 2014 season for Central Basketball Association, each member is striving to improve, empower and elevate their skills as a team member of the River City Panthers.
