Octane Infinity 64, HGI 54

25 08 2008

For the second game of their double-header night, the Octane Infinity matched up against HGI last Monday, August 25, 2008 at The Courts in Beaverton, OR.

The Octane Infinity came out smoking, staking a 23-point halftime lead.  If it weren’t for Adam Crane’s unfortunate collision with their big man, the Octane Infinity’s speed and uptempo push would have amounted to an even bigger lead.  As it was, HGI made the score respectable,  cutting the deficit to 10 by the end of the game.

It was too much Mike R. and Jonas Reyes for HGI to contend with. Mike R. scored 25 points on 9-of-16 shooting, which included 6-of-10 from three-point range. Jonas Reyes added 19 points and swiped four steals.

“I fell into old habits,” stated Mike R. “But also, I felt bad for the other team which may be a first and took
more threes but that worked out.”

The Octane Infinity were without center David Camp, who was out of town.

Adam Crane sustained a knee injury in the first half and was unable to return to the game. “I’m going to have it looked at this evening,” said Crane. “After I get some more information to work with, I’m going to decide about next season.”

25 08 2008

Mike R. had a great offensive game, scoring  25 points on 9-of-19 shooting and grabbing six rebounds. Adam Crane added 10 points, eight rebounds, and four steals.

Octane Infinity 62, Kelley’s Kids 92

18 08 2008

The E-League Octane Infinity faced C-League team Kelley’s Kids last Monday, August 18, 2008 at The Courts in Beaverton, OR. Unfortunately, the Octane Infinity could not find an answer to Kelley’s Kids level of play.

After taking a quick 2-0 lead in the beginning of the game, the Octane Infinity were unable to control Kelley’s Kids from scoring 18 points straight and it became an uphill battle for the Octane Infinity at that point. Kelley’s Kids quickly keyed in on Octane Infinity sharp-shooter Mike R., who had an unusual game of only scoring two points.

“I just wish that they gave (Mike R.) even just a little bit of room so that he could make them pay for leaving him open!” claimed Edwin Tanedo. “But good teams zero in on Reggie Miller, and that’s what they did last night.”

On the bright side for the Octane Infinity, they had two players with double-double stats. Chris Turman led the Octane Infinity with 24 points, 15 rebounds, three blocks, and two steals. Adam Crane contributed his own double-double with 12 points and snagging 11 rebounds.

The Octane Infinity were without center David Camp, who was out of town.

Octane Infinity 62, Robinson’s Canby 95

11 08 2008

The Octane Infinity started hitting some early shots and enjoyed  a brief 10 point lead before D-League team Robinson’s Canby battled back and garnered a one-point lead at halftime last Monday, August 11, 2008 at The Courts in Beaverton, OR.

Robinson’s Canby carried their momentum through the second half, building an unsurmountable lead against the Octane Infinity and defeating them, 95-60.

“Personally, I enjoyed playing against a better team, I think it can only make us better,” remarked Edwin Tanedo. “I know we all played with heart like my man Isiah J.R. Rider, so I’m not as disappointed about this loss as it was when Coordination Optional beat us. We still have 2 weeks of ball left, and I’m eager to get back on our winning ways.”

Chris Turman led the Octane Infinity with 20 points and 12 rebounds while David Camp also contributed a double-double with 10 points and 13 rebounds.
