Important game to mention about took place in Jamestown. Third ranked Toundra (3-4) saved a 1-point victory on the road edging 5th ranked Jackals (1-6) 111-110 on Saturday evening. Americans were the main players on the court. The winners were led by guard Jeremy Hayes (193-1997, college: Angelo St.) who had that evening a double-double by scoring 15 points, 5 rebounds and 13 assists (made all of his eight free throws) and Giancarlo Rosado supported him with 20 points. Even a double-double of 23 points and 17 rebounds by Kelvon Fuller (203-1997, college: Southeastern, agency: Highlight Athletes) did not help to save the game for Lake Erie. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Montreal T. maintains third position with 3-4 record having six points less than leader KW Titans. Lake Erie lost fourth consecutive game. They stay at the bottom place with six games lost. Montreal T. will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game.

Very significant was Five's (#2, 5-1) victory against 3rd ranked Windsor Express (2-5) 97-91. Charlie Marquardt fired 28 points and 9 rebounds for the winners. Latin Davis produced 16 points and 7 assists for lost side. Windsor Express' coach tested ten players, but that didn't help to avoid defeat in this game. Five have a solid three-game winning streak. Defending champion maintains second position with 5-1 record having five points less than leader KW Titans. Loser Windsor Express dropped to the fourth place with five games lost. Sudbury F. will meet at home bottom-ranked Lake Erie (#5) in the next round. Windsor Exp. will play against the league's leader KW Titans in Kitchener and hope to secure a win.
