In a thrilling playoff game, Dougherty Valley convincingly defeated Ygnacio Valley 79-61, showcasing the talent of star player Jalen Stokes, who contributed significantly with 19 points, 10 rebounds, and 7 assists. Coach Woolridge's pre-game concerns were validated as Dougherty Valley utilized strong teamwork and defensive strategies to control the game. The team not only respected Stokes's talent by sending multiple defenders but also capitalized on his passing to find open scorers. With this victory, Dougherty Valley moves on to the semifinals against Clayton Valley, where they will aim to continue their winning streak.
'We've been playing against Stokes for a while, so we know him. We're not scared of him. Judging from Dougherty Valley's blowout win against YV on Friday night, the Wolves probably didn't know him well enough.'
'It’s a team sport. There are five guys on every play and I think tonight, they were scared of all five of us.'
'If you're willing to run three guys at Jalen, he's willing to find the open guy.'
'The Wildcats outscored YV 22-10 in the third quarter fueled by a 15-4 run to open the second half.'
