Isiah Small's dominance on the glass proved the difference as Caledonia Gladiators edged out B. Braun Sheffield Sharks 87–79 at home. The forward pulled down 17 rebounds across 30 minutes—a commanding display of positioning and effort that repeatedly gave Caledonia second chances when their shots weren't falling cleanly. Small shot just 3 of 11 from the field, but made it count where it mattered most, converting 9 of 10 free throws for 15 points. He added 3 steals and 3 assists to a performance that tilted the balance when the scoring was contested. Sheffield kept things tight throughout, but Caledonia's control of the glass—particularly through Small—meant they could absorb a poor shooting night (off the 2PT, at least) and still pull away by eight. With both teams fighting for positioning in the Super League table, this was the kind of grinding win that matters: not pretty, but built on the dirty work.
