One of those contenders was in action on Wednesday, the Boston Sharks, who carry a 5 and 0 record, and the girls 15 and under division looked to remain undefeated this week, as they took on the foreign one Tynan Devils in South Boston.

Let's head now to the tiny community center in Southie, there are the Sharks playing with just five players in this one, but that didn't slow them down one bit: first: half midway through sharks up by two Cindy Burton banks, home that jumper puts the Sharks up by four there in the first half Devils, keep it close there in the first briton, Castro hits the runner right there from the baseline brings the devil's within three, but the Sharks keep attacking on the break.

Gina gray out on the break scores off the window, puts the Sharks up by 10. They would go into the half up 18 to 10 early. In the second half its gray run on the floor. Tunisia drayton gets that past. The land gives the Sharks another 10 point lead Devils still hanging around Elena Shaw gets the bucket right there. She had a nice game for the devil's, but they're still down by 10 there in the second half, then the Sharks extend their lead a little bit more Gina gray, with the steal easy bucket for her.

She put the Sharks up by 15, then on the ensuing possession of sharks, so good on the fast break. Beautiful pass there from great in the gray, puts the Sharks up by 17 the devil's we get it within 10. But sharks go on to win this one 41 230, another impressive win for the Sharks right there, as they remain, remain undefeated on the season, we'll see if they can continue their streak all the way to the reggie lewis center. In just a couple of weeks.
