Top-seeded Dougherty Valley makes a late stop to advance to play De La Salle in the championship game.
SAN RAMON — It took a little bit of everything for Dougherty Valley to survive Wednesday night — a hot start by prolific scorer Ryan Beasley and an unsung player rising up in the second half, plus a reversed call in the heat of the fourth quarter and one enormous stop in the waning seconds.
The USF-bound Beasley got off to a torrid start, scoring 17 of his 30 points in the first quarter. But the shifty guard essentially matched baskets with Granada’s dynamic duo of 7-footer Andrew McKeever and 6-7 wing Tyler Harris. They combined for all 18 of the visitor’s points in an opening period that ended with Dougherty Valley in front 22-18.
After Beasley’s two free throws cut the margin to 56-55 with 4:21 to play, the guard made a steal at the other end and drove to the basket. When they broke the huddle, the officials awarded the ball to Dougherty Valley, causing Granada’s contingent of fans in the sold-out gymnasium to blow their top.
