What You Need To Know - Saturday's Game

May 31, 2018 - National Arena League (NAL)
Jacksonville Sharks News Release


JACKSONVILLE - The Jacksonville Sharks return to the Shark Tank for Superhero and Education Appreciation Night, Saturday, June 2nd, at 7pm. This will be the Sharks fifth home game of the season. The Sharks currently sit at 5-3 as the Sharks face their arch nemesis, the 4-1 Columbus Lions. This will be the Columbus Lions first return to the Veterans Memorial Arena since the Sharks defeated them in the epic 27-21 National Arena League Championship game. However, in 2018 the Lions struck the first blow handing the Sharks their first road loss of the season, as Jacksonville's heros fell 51-41 in the Lion's lair known as the Lions den. Since then the Sharks have bounced back and have recently gone on a four-game win streak and look to soar into five-straight wins if they can manage to pumble the Lions this Saturday.
