The Jacksonville Waves are set to compete for the Upshot League championship against the Charlotte Crown on August 29 at 7 p.m. at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena. This marks the Waves' first season, and they hold a 6-4 advantage in their season series against the Crown. Both teams advanced to the final after outperforming Greensboro Groove and Savannah Steel, who were eliminated from contention weeks ago. The matchup features standout players including Charlotte's Deja Kelly, leading the league in scoring, and Jacksonville's Ariel Hearn. This championship is unique as the Upshot League features a single-game final format compared to multi-game series commonly found in other leagues.
