Welcome Back - 09' OU Crew Kicks of Season
NOTE: As I found out this week, Bloggin' and Ballin' has made it's way through the series of tubes to other people associated with the league (players/refs/etc). If you are reading this blog - I hope you can see that the content is written tongue in cheek for the most part, and no one should take any offense to anything written in my past posts.
Cap'n Mike is hopeful that he will be back to writing weekly updates for all his faithful readers. "It's been a busy winter," said Cap'n. "But, now that my reader count is up to 6 or 7 people - I think it's time for me to step it back up."
With that being said... Let's get this party started!
Reading, MA - Origins Unknown, fresh off a month long hiatus, has returned to YMCA league play with a different look - and things look gooooood (so far).
Several changes have taken place since last session, including the departure of Chris "Big Country" Johnson, the long term signing of Jay "The McQuaid Monster" Wandtke, and the addition of another workhorse down low - Nick Dutton-Swain.
Two games have been played thus far in the winter session, and OU now has mostly comfortable victories over the Warriors and the Hustlers.
The Warriors game was all over the place for the OU crew, as they returned to the court after the long break. Both teams struggled to find their legs in the game, but OU built a double digit lead in the first half, and although the Warriors made a small run towards the end of the game - things never got too tight. Cap'n Mike was lucky to find his stroke early and with the attention needed to be paid to OU's big three down low (James "Stretch" Hogan IV, Wandtke and DS), he and Danger Dan Fisher had a much easier time finding space for shots.
The second game of the session pitted 1-0 OU vs. 1-0 Hustlers team. Heading into the game, it appeared that it would be an interesting contrast in styles, but the Hustlers couldn't keep pace with OU - and the good ol' boys built a 20 point lead before the first half was even over. Offensively, everyone was chipping in for OU. Wandtke and DS over-powered their opponents, and made it very difficult to for the Hustlers big man to get anything easy. Hogan too was having his way with the Hustlers defenders, including this ridiculous play in the second half.
The win keeps OU in first place, and finishes the early season run of 10:00 pm games.
