Jalen Stokes explodes for 47 points, but Dougherty Valley falls to San Ramon Valley in all-time classic game

There was no stopping Jalen Stokes on Friday night. 

The 6-foot-5, Dougherty Valley forward scored bucket after bucket for four quarters and ended the night with a school-record 47 points. 

But it wasn’t enough to beat a resilient San Ramon Valley team.

In what was an all-time classic game, SRV pulled out a close 81-76 win at home to win its East Bay Athletic League opener. 

“It was such an amazing game,” SRV coach Brian Botteen told the Bay Area News Group in a phone interview on Friday night.
