OU WINS!

Reading, MA – Origins Unknown finally ended their three-game skid with two wins in the past two weeks. This first victory saw OU take out the Warriors 78-52, and the second saw them stomp The Replacements by 30+ points (which is hard to verify, since the scorer stopped keeping score when it was 46-16). The wins keep OU well out of the league cellar, but leaves much work to be done if a playoff spot is to be attained.

Neither game was much to write home about, but here are the highlights, in no particular order:

1. OU storms out to a 15-2 lead against the Warriors, using solid defense and lightning quick offensive pressure by Brian Jones.
2. Shu-ter Patel shows he’s more than a shooter when he uses all his dribbling skills to bring the ball up the court against The Replacements, but subsequently turns it over.
3. Against The Replacements, Cap’n Mike throws 3 straight passes over the head or out of the reach of James “Stretch” Hogan IV, but makes up for it with 3 straight blocks on the defensive end.
4. Jonesy and Hogan execute a fast break which ends in a 18 foot-high alley-oop pass that finally comes down after 3 defenders rush to break it up like a Hail Mary.
5. Big Dan Rasanen returns to action, bringing wife and his newest addition to cheer on the OU bunch.

Around the rest of the league, Intervale continues to dominate the regular season after strong wins over the Muskets and Kickin' Time in recent weeks. Meanwhile, Howse has moved into a tie for second place after a solid win over Kickin' Time and Stiffler's Mom in consecutive weeks.

OU's victories give them a 3-4 record, as they get ready to start a must-win stretch of games with a rematch against Kickin’ Time next week.
