Saturday night opened with special ceremony for the men and women of the armed forces and was followed by a nail biting game! The Gladiators saw a 18 point lead diminish to 2 points before finally pulling away. Rome was lead in scoring again by Trent Eager who put up 19 points and 2 steals. Also in double digit scoring was Shaun fountain with 18 points and 8 steals, and Lamar Castile put up 11 points.
