Mike Cook led the winners with 19 points, Ryan Patton added 17 and Mike Tuck 15. The game MVP came from the losing side. James Hamilton shined with 24 points and 12 rebounds to earn the award. Chez Marks added 22 points in defeat. The Jets took an early 11-18 lead before the Sharks reeled off 11 unanswered points for a 22-18 edge after 10 minutes. The lead grew to 37-26 at halftime and hit 64-48 going into the fourth quarter. But Hamilton fueled an impressive Jets comeback and a Colin O'Reilly triple with a minute-and-a-half remaining made it a 3-point game. Paul Peterson missed crucial free throws that could have narrowed the gap to 1 and Sheffield's Perry Lawson made 4 free throws in the last half minute to wrap up the win and title for the Sharks.
