9:00 p.m. (Game 12): Championship: #3 Bradenton Christian 82, Manatee 79
- Recap: Manatee is locked and loaded now with all of their football players back and they proved in their semifinal win versus a tough Palmetto squad that they are totally different and more talented team than their current record would reflect. Well, the Hurricanes came out firing to start the Championship game against the defending champion and host Bradenton Christian Panthers, hitting 12 shots from behind the arc in the first half. Entering the fourth quarter, it appeared Manatee was for sure going to hand the Panthers their first loss in the three year tournament history, as they led by 16 heading into the final stanza, and had led by as many as 20 points in the third. However, BCS was able to completely turn it around and the Hurricanes weren't able to keep hitting the long bombs. The Panthers took their first lead with about 2 and a half minutes to play in the game on a free throw by senior Michael Frey. Manatee regained the lead soon after on a trey by Marc Lozano, who hit 6 treys in the game total, but it would be short lived as BCS tied it back up at 78-78 on a pair of free throws by junior guard Daniel Magley with just under two minutes remaining. Magley would be the man again with 1:08 left in the game, as he canned a trey, which would be the eventual game winner. Brice Smith was the leader again for the Hurricanes on the scoreboard, netting 22 points in the game including 6 treys. Michael Frey led Bradenton Christian with 22 points to go along with 13 rebounds, and Jonathan Negrin added 19 points. Jonathan was named the tournament's MVP while teammate, sophomore Brian Cobb, joined him on the All-Tournament team. Smith was selected to the All-Tournament team for the Hurricanes. One other key stat to mention for the game, Bradenton Christian went to the free throw line 45 times, hitting 34 of those attempts, while Manatee went to the line 18 times, but only made 9 of their.
