Player of the Game was Gehrig Hale who was a force at both ends of the court while Zackie Loftman was named Hustler of the Game. The gold medal game saw the Pulamoo face the River Valley Rush. It was a close game during the first half but the Pulamoo were able to build a bit of the lead in the second half due to good team defense and went on to win the gold, 54 – 43. An energetic defensive effort won Player of the Game for Isaiah Loftman and Hustler of the Game went to Ryan MacMullin.
