Another interesting game was again a derby between two teams from Bridgetown: Pinelands (#2) and Tridents (#5). Tridents were smashed at home by 43 points 67-110 and even the fact of playing on their own court did not help. The winners were led by guard Derion Hurley who scored that evening 28 points and 6 rebounds and Deroni Hurley supported him with 16 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists. Even a double-double of 19 points and 10 rebounds by American swingman Nigel Jones (201-1990, college: Talladega) did not help to save the game for Tridents.
