7 PM: Seminoles 86, Tigers 76
The next game featured a pair of teams made up of miscellaneous players: The Tigers and the Seminoles. It was an up-tempo full-court style game, and in the end the Seminoles came out on top, 86-76.

8 PM: Compton Magic Blue 61, Compton Magic White 46
In what was billed as the main attraction, a matchup of the two Compton Magic teams, it was the inside strength of the blue team that was the difference. PF Gary Nunez (Ventura) came off the bench for the blues, but made 4 of 6 shots, tying for team honors with 11 pts. He also grabbed 9 rebs, which was game-high. Ephraim Williams added 9 pts and 6 boards while Sterling Byrd had 8 pts and 5 rebs. Keoni Watson was again superb, scoring 11 pts while dishing out 3 asts and registering 4 steals. PF Chike Ekweozor led the white team with 11 pts on 4/5 shooting, while PG Kenneth Maye (LA Trade Tech) had a solid game with 9 pts, 3 asts and 5 steals.
9 PM: Vandals 112, Seminoles 83
This game pitted the two assembled teams that were victorious in their first game, the Seminoles and the Vandals. The first half was fairly close, as the Vandals held just a 48-41 lead at halftime. But in the second half, the Vandals ran wild, scoring 64 points (more than either Compton Magic team had scored in the previous game – the entire game) and claiming the day's unofficial crown with a 112-83 victory.
This one was a fast-paced shootout as both teams sought and took advantage of fastbreak opportunities virtually the entire game. SG Timothy Taylor had a remarkable game with 26 pts, 8 rebs, 8 asts and 5 steals. But he was hardly alone as several Vandals posted gaudy statistics. Ctr Chandon Simon made 10 of 12 shots from the floor, including a three, for 21 pts, plus 10 rebs. PG Andrew Gomez (East LA) had 15 pts plus 10 asts. PF Pierre Djinki (John A Logan IL) posted a double-double with 13 pts and 10 boards. SF Keith Allen (Mt. San Antonio) posted his own double-double with 11 pts and 11 boards. And SG Ian Wright (Mendocino) came off the bench to score 18 pts. For the Seminoles, PF Jared Lloyd led the way with 23 pts on 10 or 14 shooting. PG Keilon Fortune (Compton CC) added 19 pts, while SG Muhammed Wilson (Mt. San Jacinto) had a double-double with 10 pts and 10 asts.
9 PM: 49ers 62, Tigers 59
After the Vandals/Seminoles game ended, the game on the other court was just winding up. SG Curtis Isom (LA Valley) knocked down a jumper for the 49ers to tie the game at 59, sending it to overtime. After a 2-minute extra period, it was still tied at 59 so the teams started a second OT that was sudden-death. Each team had several opportunities to score, but the game remained tied until PF Sam Davis (Cypress) of the 49ers drained a straight-on three to give his team the 62-59 win. (Sorry, but since there's no box score for this game since all but the end of it happened at the same time as the Vandals/Seminoles game).
