Sources: Basketball star Jalen Stokes wins appeal, granted eligibility at Dougherty Valley

One of the top boys basketball transfers in the Bay Area will be allowed to play for his new school after all.

Highly touted transfer Jalen Stokes won his appeal with the North Coast Section and was ruled eligible to play for Dougherty Valley, a source close to the situation told the Bay Area News Group on Friday afternoon.

Stokes, who spent three seasons at fellow East Bay Athletic League school Dublin before transferring to the San Ramon program this summer, was initially ruled ineligible by the NCS almost two weeks ago.
