Get ready for a blockbuster night of Big V basketball as Friday Night Hoops heats up this July 11, with the Camberwell Dragons hosting the McKinnon Cougars in a high-stakes doubleheader featuring both Championship Men and Youth League One Men matchups.
Originally postponed from July 6, these rescheduled games now take centre stage – and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Championship Men - Statement Game on the Line
The McKinnon Cougars have been lighting up the league with their fast-paced, sharp-shooting style. With Maharaj and Simankevicius leading the scoring charge, their inside-out game has proven difficult to contain. Still hungry after narrowly missing out in 2024, the Cougars are gunning for redemption – and they're not slowing down.
But standing in their way is a surging Camberwell Dragons squad, fresh off a thrilling 89–86 win over Hume City. Led by the league’s top scorer, Sean Conway (averaging a jaw-dropping 31.6 points per game), the Dragons are clawing their way into finals contention and will be looking to take advantage of their home court game!
Youth League One Men - Finals in Sight
In the early game, the Dragons Youth Men, currently sitting 6th, will look to build on recent momentum as they chase a coveted finals spot. Jesse Macleod and Matt Marcun have been key to their rise, and they’ll need to be at their best to overcome a polished and potent McKinnon unit that’s also vying for finals glory.
Expect speed, skill, and serious hustle as both teams fight to stay in the top half of the ladder.
