Reading, MA - Ugly Betty. Ugly ducklings. Ugly wins. Origins Unknown needed overtime to take down a feisty and determined Warriors team in an ugly performance at the Reading YMCA, Thursday. The 62-58 final score doesn't begin to explain just how tight this game was, as OU needed a second straight week of heroics from James "Stretch" Hogan IV to claw back from a four-point deficit with less than 30 seconds remaining in regulation.

Those 30 seconds, plus overtime are all that is worth rehashing. Down four with the ball, Hogan made a difficult low post score. OU pressed and Danger Dan Fisher and Cap'n caught the Warriors point guard in a trap on the baseline. He escaped, but Fisher was able to knock the ball out from behind to the awaiting arms of Chris "Big" Johnson. Johnson charged towards the hoop and once again found a semi-open Hogan for another shot in the lane. After the make, OU picked up full court but the Warriors got it over half court and got a decent look at a three pointer to win. Fortunately for OU, the ball front rimmed and bounced off target.

Visibly deflated, the Warriors looked flat from the tip in overtime. Hogan won the tap to Cap'n Mike - who took three dribbles and pulled up for a crushing three pointer. Shu-ter Patel also drained a long range bomb to keep the lead, even after a Warriors score. After three minutes of back and forth, Cap'n Mike made 1 of 2 free throws to give OU the four-point lead. The Warriors mounted yet another valiant charge, but missed their last few attempts.

With the win, and a same-night Hustlers loss, OU moves into sole possesion of first place in the league standings. They will take Thanksgiving off, and then come back for a much-anticipated match up with the second place Hustlers.

Cap'n Mike was 1-2 from the line, and now stands at 23-31 on the session.
