Former Hornet QB Aaron Garcia made the most of his first Arena Bowl appearance in his 17-year career by throwing for a touchdown with two ticks left on the clock to lead the Jacksonville Sharks to a 73-70 win over the Arizona Rattlers at Arizona's arena. (Clearly, AZ paid dearly for letting the immortal Danny White get away. )
Garcia threw for 402 yards and 8 TDs on the night, two of which came in the last 1:25 of the game. The Sharks were saved by a roughing the passer penalty near the 10-minute mark of the 4th quarter, which nullified a potential game-sealing pick. The game-winner went to the third option on the play, as the Rattlers were smothering the first two options.
Congratulations, Aaron! Now bring the trophy home to Hornet Town!!!

Was he still around (i.e. on the roster) to get a ring? If so, that's good enough to say that he brought it home.
