Game 11 - Championship Mojo!

SBU's MoJo & Drew - 2007 Super 6 Champions
















Around the Super 6 through Game 11 - (2/6 - 2/10) ....
Superior Baptist U has clinched their first Super 6 championship in 10 years! Despite losing to Hershey in Game 11, SBU (7-4) still has a one-game lead on Great Lakes Christian with one game to play in the regular season, giving the Crusaders their first banner since a co-championship with UNC in 1997.

Great Lakes Christian (6-5) can still earn a share of the title. For that to happen, GLC has to beat UH in Game 12, and SBU has to lose to OWW. If that's how it shakes out, SBU would be the #1 seed after sweeping the season series vs GLC, 2-0.

*** If GLC loses Game 12, second place is a free-for-all!
Four teams could finish at 6-6. GLC, UH, OWW and the UNC @ RMU winner. (see below)
