Pitman captain Dominick Von Waaden has been dealing with a cold for nearly three weeks, but nothing was going to stop him from starting in the team’s fourth Central California Conference battle on Wednesday night. The junior became the catalyst—most importantly in the final seconds—after coming in clutch for his team when they most needed him. Tied at 41 all, Von Waaden received a pass from teammate Christian Williams, then spun to his right side and made his way inside the three point line, drilling the jump shot with 7 seconds remaining to put his team ahead for good 43-41.
