Palm Springs coach, Dennis Zink, only has praise for the Alaskans.

“This is a great environment to play in, 2,500 people were at our last game and they're expecting more for the championship game,” Zink said. “The whole town literally shuts down, the people here have been very hospitable to us.” 

Palm Springs Indians win the Clarke!  Defeating Puyallup in the championship game 67-65.
