Pakenham’s Big V men’s side are two from two to begin their new season!
The Warriors won a see-sawing affair against Shepparton on Sunday, in an afternoon where there were as many lead changes as loud cheers at Cardinia Life.
Joe Davis sunk 25 points to go with nine rebounds, and had two plays in the last 30 seconds which got the Warriors over the line.
Trailing by two points, Davis tipped one in with 28 seconds to go to give Pakenham the lead, before executing a three-pointer with seven seconds left which gave Pakenham a two-point lead.
Shepparton then had one crack to tie the scores, but missed the jump shot, cuing vocal celebrations on-court and in the stands.
Young point-guard Michael Johns continues to impress, playing more than 25 minutes, having also played the previous day in the Youth League.
Joshua Dow also contributed with 16 points.
Next up is a trip to Doncaster to battle Bulleen, which currently sits at 1-2.
