Jacksonville Sharks News Release


JACKSONVILLE - On Saturday, July 13, the 2013 South Division Champion Jacksonville Sharks will square off against the Spokane Shock on Sea Best Field at the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena. This week's game is presented by our partners at Sea Best® - America's Seafood Experts�, and kickoff is set for 7:00 p.m."¨

The Sharks return from their bye week as South Division Champions, as the team clinched the division title without playing a game last weekend. The Sharks are guaranteed to host a home playoff game on Saturday, August 3, but remain in competition with the Philadelphia Soul for the No. 1 seed in the American Conference. This week, the Sharks look to avenge a Week 12 loss at Spokane. Jacksonville is 2-3 all-time against the Shock, as Spokane has won each of the last two meetings.
