Over at the New Amsterdam basketball court, Fyrish Black Sharks were fearless as they swam in unfamiliar waters to intimidate and devour host Smythfield Rockefellers 45-37 to hand them their first loss and be the first team to book their place in the semifinals so far after completing all four of their games. Linden Joseph scored 12 points for the winners.  Fyrish ended with two wins and two loses.
