The 1997-98 left little doubt that they would make another run deep into the NJCAA National Tournament. The team outscored their opponents by an average of 87.9 to 66.8, including a decisive 15-point victory in the national championship game over Shelby State (TN). Throughout the course of the season, seven different Warriors led the team in scoring and five players finished the season with a double-digit scoring average: Mickeal (21.9), Shon Coleman (13.2), Terry Black (11.8), Jeff Walker (10.3) and Alvin Mitchell (10.4). After celebrating a perfect season of 38-0, Mickeal was crowned NJCAA Tournament MVP and Carroll was once again named Coach of the Year.
