St. George's have been flawless this season, winning all 14 games played, including two against Tivoli in the best-of-three series of the Southern Conference final.
St. George's best offensive player, Michael Rogers, who scored 42 points in the semi-final against Old Harbour High, is expected to lead his team against Tivoli, who are led by nifty guard Dandre Miller.

In the same breath, Miller, Romane Slowley and Havando Dunn will be gunning to grant their coach's wish of 'winning the all-island' title.
