Crunch Champ Edwin Tanedo had his chance to retain the belt this week with a clutch free throw to close out the winner-take-all game at the at the Cedar Mill Ballys in Portland, OR, last Saturday, April 26, 2008.
But it was not meant to be. Maybe it was the pressure. Maybe it was the trash talking. Either way, the ball refused to go into the hoop.
And in the wings awaited Rene Barzaga to swoop right in to take the title. He won with a combination of outside shots, drives to the basket, and free throws.
The win marks the first time for Barzaga to win the title.
