The Tampa Bay Storm and Jacksonville Sharks squared off for the second time at the Amelie Arena in Tampa on Saturday afternoon. The Sharks beat the Storm in their last meeting 33-27.

The Sharks scored first when Tommy Grady found Tiger Jones in the end zone. The Storm would answer back with a T.T. Toliver touchdown to tie the game at 7. 

After a Joe Hills touchdown, a pick-six from Jordan Miller gave the Sharks at 20-7 lead after one quarter. Grady would find Hills in the second quarter to give the Sharks a 27-7 lead.

Greg Reid picked off a Boltus pass and returned it for a touchdown of his own. The Sharks led 34-7. Toliver scored a touchdown to bring the score to 34-14. Grady found Reggie Grey to make the score 41-14 in the second quarter. The Sharks led 47-14 at the half.

The two teams exchanged touchdowns - the Storm scoring on a one-yard touchdown from John Brown and the Sharks scoring one a one-yard touchdown from Dexter Jackson - and the Sharks' lead at the end of the third quarter was 47-21.

The Sharks scored on another Joe Hills touchdown to open the fourth and a 61-21 lead. The Storm would score the next 14 points, the second coming off of a Sharks fumble, and it was a 61-34 game.

Still, the Storm had a long climb that they could not finish. The Sharks would win the game by a final score of 67-34. The Storm will host the KISS next weekend and the Sharks head home to host the Orlando Predators.
