The Shock won the GCAA Girl's 3rd/4th Grade Championship game on Monday night against a tough and skilled Sparks team. In the exciting Championship game, the lead changed several times as the Shock finally prevailed late in the game for a thrilling 10-6 win. Both teams played fast break basketball and stifling defense in the half court, in what was definitely the best game of season in the Girl's 3rd/4th Grade Division. In this fast paced, hard fought defensive struggle, every shot was contested, every rebound was a battle, and bodies were flying all over the court for loose balls. Congratulations on an outstanding season for the Sparks and the Championship for the Shock.
