KD Moore was the only player on the Great Falls roster to score over 20 points in Saturday’s clinching victory. Great Falls’ leading scorer added 34 points along with eight assists. TJ Maston Jr. had a team-high of seven rebounds. Kameron Rooks chipped in 21 points on 9-for-13 shooting and teammate Billy White chipped in 20 points to lead the Sharks in scoring.

Great Falls stayed out in front, 23-10 with under five minutes remaining. The Electric outscored the Sharks, 31-19 before the start of the second quarter. Dexter Williams Jr., layup with 10:37 to go before halftime increased the lead to 33-21, the largest lead of the stanza.
