The Houston Swoosh 17's were on a 29-game winning streak at Great American Shoot-Outs after sweeping the championships in the top division at all four summer tournaments in 2004. A host of new faces took the floor this spring but not much changed–until the championship game. The Swoosh ran their streak to 33 games before the Southeast Texas All-Stars cut them down to size by a 83-76 score in the championship game of the Houston Spring Great American Shoot-Out.

Southeast Texas All-Stars, made up of players from the Beaumont/Port Arthur area, played an extremely athletic style of ball mixed with a powerful inside presence but fell behind Swoosh early by 10 points and trailed by 8 at the half. Southeast responded strong out of the gates to start the second half and had taken the lead with 12 minutes left in the game behind timely 3 point shooting and break-away highlight reel dunks.

Burdest Jenkins, a 6-3 junior from Ozen, scored 30 points in the championship on an array of dunks and slashes to the hole while Kris Richards, a 6-3 sophomore from Ozen, dropped in 20 points largely on 3's and mid-range jumpers. Brandon Moton, a 6-5 junior from Central, contributed 16 points with 9 coming from behind the arc. Mack Randall controlled the paint with a his size scoring 11 points and dominating on the boards while David Redmon ran the show and got everyone involved.

Houston Swoosh held a 43-35 halftime lead behind the strong play of Harrison Smith, 6-3 junior from Jones, who finish with 20 points. Rising star, DeAndre Jordan, 6-9 sophomore from Episcopal, scored 13 points and battled from start to finish with Randall in the paint. Guards Brandon Roberson, 5-11 junior from Angleton, and OJ Avworo, 5-11 junior from Alief Elsik, played steady floor games scoring 15 and 9 points respectively.
