Amid late chaos, Granada survives Dougherty Valley rally to notch key EBAL win

SAN RAMON — This game didn’t need history to feel personal. 

Not with the chirping during warmups. Not with the gym packed with students sections from both schools chanting in both directions. Not with two elite players going tit-for-tat deep into the night. 

In a building where Dougherty Valley usually closes, Granada stayed composed, weathered a late collapse and walked out of the San Ramon gym on Tuesday night with a 74-69 East Bay Athletic League win that felt heavier than the standings.
