The Rage 7s went 1-1 in pool play, then advanced to the championship with a playoff win at the May 7 "Battle at te Border" in Waverly. In the final, however, they were overmatched, as a team called AC Rapids played a 6-foot-3 eighth-grader in the 7th-grade pool. His size and leaping ability was a game-changer, as AC Rapids won going away.

The Rage 8s played well, losing their first game to the X-Gen Jammers (based in Elmira) 67-65. They beat Newark Valley, then lost by 12 to a sharp-shooting J-D team, playing for a chance to get the championship.
