Octane Infinity 50, Besta 7 57

The Octane Infinity just could not shake off the curse and remained winless at Life Christian School at Beaverton, OR, last Monday, July 14, 2008, as they played Besta 7 for the second time this season.

The Besta 7 controlled the first half with a 14-point lead over the Octane Infinity. On the upside, the Octane Infinity managed to outscore the Besta 7 in the second half, 32-26, but it was not enough to overcome the first-half deficit.

Chris Turman and Mike R. led the Octane Infinity in scoring with 13 points each. Adam Crane played an efficient game, scoring 12 points on 6-of-13 shooting.

“Wow! Just four attempts at the foul line?” asked John Le incredulously. “Did you get that same young ref at that school who usually refs there and rarely blows his whistle?”

The Octane Infinity were without guard Edwin Tanedo and forward John Le.

The game marks the end of the Summer 1 2008 season. But next Monday starts the Summer 2 2008 season and you’ll be sure to see the Octane Infinity bounce back.

Octane Infinity 44, Besta 7 62

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.

“They had the size advantage on us and were pretty good at boxing us out to get those second-chance buckets,” commented Jonas Reyes. “Although I do question if the referees swallowed their whistles when it came to calling 3-seconds-in-the-key violations.”

Chris Turman led the Octane Infinity with 12 points and 14 rebounds, while Adam Crane contributed 10 points on 4-of-8 shooting.
