Upgrade New Radio App

Today we had major trouble with our old radio app, and after much prayer and understanding with TVO1IRadio we made the choice to upgrade the app from 1000Mics to now broadcasting with Mixlr to grant our listener a better outcome.

Working with Mixlr we are able to offer Mobile apps from Apple, to Android, and it is amazing how we can also be able to post comments, info, stats and more as the game move forward. With broadcasting play by play, many of our fans are very excited about the new radio app.

But we are more willing to support our Central Basketball Association Team River City Panthers.
Our home team is truly working hard to put all this together, but once again, it is very hard to get things going without main stream sponsor. We truly honor our local sponsors example: Eat 2 Order, Ms. Jodie Brown "State Firm Insurance" and TVO1IRadio.

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".
