With its 12-0 record, Tsai-shin HS completed an undefeated season, duplicating a feat that the school also had in 1998 season, when they won 21 straight en route to the first champion in school history.
Chan-shu HS, led by talented 181cm PG Chen Shi-nian, defeated Yi-lan HS and took home the second third-place trophy in school history. Chan-shu beat Yilan by 16 points in the first game and lost by 2 in the second. According to the special two-game format, Chan-shu won the third-place by the better won-lost margin (+14).
