2010 - 2011 Season Preview: ATC Head Men’s Basketball Coach Bruce Capers enters his seventh season, accumulating a record of 119 wins and 71 losses. This year’s team looks to rival his District 3 championship team in 2007, which advanced to the NJCAA Division I tournament that year.; “We did an excellent job in recruiting this year, and so our expectations for the 2010-2011 season are very high,” Capers said. “We also have one of the toughest schedules in NJCAA Division I play.”; Sophomores Jerel Stephenson and Anthony Rapley round up ATC’s star talent. Both players were invited to Mullen’s Sports Top 120 Camp this summer, an invitational tournament at Oral Roberts University for the nation’s top 120 NJCAA men’s basketball players.; ATC’s newcomers will also make a great impression this year. Capers has a strong, athletic freshman class in Rasheed Allen’bey, Blake Bush, Kevon Jenkins and others. “I can’t say that any freshman will have trouble finding playing time this year,” Capers said. Freshman Mark Oyola, who towers the team at 6 feet 10 inches, will balance the team’s rushing strategy as a dominant center.; Capers anticipates a more aggressive, agile team than in recent years. Most players will play multiple positions on the court, making their strategy unpredictable to opponents. This style of play will prepare the team for at least a Region 10 championship, Capers said.
