My prediction was way off… in a good way though.
Ocean View not only reversed the score, but beat the Oilers into submission… not that it wasn’t expected.
The biggest, and most decisive factor of the game was DEFENSE. Our Defense was in Championship mode tonight! They forced over 20 turnovers (no stats available yet, so don’t knock me if I’m wrong), by either jumping passing routes, or just pickpocketing the half-hazard Oilers. These guys were really no where close to our league, and their overall lack of size was combined to their lack of scorers… and OV spent over half of the game on a fast break… I said it in the 1st quarter report that I have never seen so many dunks in one game, and I wasn’t kidding; Ocean View is just too good for anyone in Huntington Beach right now.
While getting back into a league mode will be important, this effort tonight is a real boost, and if history ever predicted anything, Ocean View should be on its way up from this point on.
