Mike R. led the Octane Infinity with 24 points, hitting six three-pointers. Chris Turman had a big night, scoring 18 points, grabbing 18 rebounds, and blocking three shots. Turman’s rebounding was complemented by teammate David Camp, who snagged 19 boards, eight of which were on the offensive end.
“I think that was the best game we’ve played,” commented Camp. ”Great job all around.”

After a disheartening game against Besta 7, the Octane Infinity had to play the second game of their double-header against the Rucky Stars last Monday, June 23, 2008, at The Courts in Beaverton, OR. The Octane Infinity was looking forward to the match up, hoping to redeem themselves from the previous game.
The Octane Infinity faced the Besta 7 last Monday, June 23, 2008, at The Courts in Beaverton, OR, as their first game of the double-header of the night. The game was close in the first half, but Besta 7 managed to pull away for the win, 62-44.
Outscoring Mentor in the second half 27-21 wasn’t enough for the Octane Infinity to secure the win at Life Christian School in Aloha, OR, last Monday, June 16, 2008. The first half deficit was just too much as the Octane Infinity endured their weirdest first half in team history. On the bright side, despite the team’s poor field goal percentage, each Octane Infinity player did manage to score.
In a winner-takes-all game, Marcus Berger clinched the Crunch title with a running jumper off the backboard last Saturday, June 7, 2008, at the Cedar Mill Ballys in Portland, OR. The win came with the assistance of Jonas Reyes, who combined points with Berger. The win marked the first Crunch title for Berger.
Mike Makes 18
7 06 2008The first eight were easy. The middle seven were tough as I knew what I was about to achieve in front of Edwin’s envious eyes. The last three free throws were some of the cleanest I have made and I smiled on each of them.
Instead of the red line being the starting place, I should start the Unlimited Free Throw Crunch game at the line and see if I can make 21 in a row crumpling Edwin into a heap of tears.
With Edwin’s three month vacation coming up, he can work on his free throws which seem to damn him most every Crunch game. Maybe Shaq could work with him to at least get him to that level.
