Redemption delivered: Amador Valley rolls past Livermore to advance to NCS D1 semifinals

PLEASANTON — For a team that spent the past month stewing over a snapped streak, redemption came with a little bile and a lot of bite. 

From the opening tip, Amador Valley played like a group determined to erase a memory – swarming Livermore’s sophomore star Amare Chandler, riding a scoring surge from point guard Jaylen Smith and watching a feverish Cade Krueger, who needed all the medicine and electrolytes to suit up for Friday’s game, fight through sickness because the moment was too big to miss.
