American Towers Collapse Under OU Pressure


Reading, MA - Origins Unknown was back in action, Thursday night at the YMCA, pasting a new-to-the-league American Towers team 77-52.

OU finally seemed to have some bounce back in their step, as they ran their way to a quick lead in the first half. Pacing OU was James "Stretch" Hogan IV, as he ran through the shoddy AT defense, and controlled the game through his defensive presence as well. Hogan may have scored the years first triple double, with double-figures in points, rebounds and blocks.



Scoring was balanced, as Danger Dan Fisher, Shu-ter Patel and Dr. Greg Robinson also had hot hands. The two-week layoff did leave both teams sloppy, with turnovers coming from both teams. Cap'n Mike felt especially out of sync, unable to get passes to his cutting counter-parts. "I was a second slow on everything I did tonight," said Cap'n, "I think Max would have helped us a lot more out there."

Max's Mama and Max were kind enough to grace us with their presence at the game. Max seemed thoroughly into the game, cheering on OU and also crying when his Dad missed shot after shot.

The second half was more of OU running roughshot over AT. Hogan continued his dominance, and Danger Dan also started to get his legs, shooting himself out of a recent slump.

OU finished strong, and heads into next week with a 3-1 record.
