How's that for starters?

Matt Marcun led the way with 27 points and six rebounds and Jesse Macleod added 14 points and 10 boards as Camberwell Dragons opened the Big V Youth League Men's season with a 108-106 double-overtime win against McKinnon at GESAC on Saturday night.

Marcun shot the ball at a sizzling 75 per cent (6-of-8) from the three-point line to pace the Dragons, who closed the night with three double-digit scorers – Zac Bezzina finishing with 13 points in just under 15 minutes.

Camberwell led this one by 14 with a quarter left in regulation before its host struck back with a 24-10 final term to send the game into the first overtime.

The Dragons dominated the glass, outrebounding McKinnon 60-40 behind the work of Macleod and Caleb Lingwood-Smith, who pulled down a game-high 12 rebounds to go with six points.

Next up for the Dragons is a 2pm home date with Sunbury at Balwyn High School today. That one the second game of a double header also featuring our Youth League Women. Danni Fidge's team tips it off against Collingwood at 12pm.
