Bloggin' and Ballin': Child's Play

Reading, MA – Origins Unknown took on league newcomer Intervale last night at the YMCA, but it was a rude first meeting, as OU routed the new crew 76-54 in front of friends and family. Flanked by future OU stars Soren Patel and Lil’ Cap’n Max, it was sometimes tough to tell who was having more fun (the little kids or the middle aged kids), as OU put on a show on their way to a 3-0 record.

OU, which has looked consistent and confident over the past three games, once again showed up in full force as all six members suited up. Everyone in “Columbia Blue” seemed ready to roll, as they jumped out to a quick lead that they would never relinquish. The first half saw OU breaking down the Intervale 2-2 zone, through excellent high post play by Chris “Big” Johnson, and some early outside shooting. Highlighted by a Cap’n Mike to James “Stretch” Hogan IV alley-oop, and constant pressure by Danger Dan Fisher, OU also used their quickness and pace to leave Intervale in the dust.

Dr. J Greg Robinson and Shu-ter Patel also made their presence known, as the six OUrs seamlessly interchanged positions and baffled the Intervale squad with their positional flexibility. Everyone handled the ball, ran the point, and dished the rock throughout the game (Even Dr. J and Big Johnson!)… The game was simply never in doubt. There is not much more to say!

OU now gets their first bye of the session. Cap’n Mike was 1-2 from the line, which leaves him 12 for 14 on the season.
