Dougherty Valley coach Mike Hansen: “People thought we lost everything, but we’ve got dudes”
OAKLAND — Dougherty Valley forward Aadi Malali celebrates a three-pointer in the third quarter. Dougherty Valley played Bishop O’Dowd at Bishop O’Dowd high school in Oakland Calif. in the NCS 2024 playoffs on Feb. 21, 2024 OAKLAND – Dougherty Valley should have been reeling with 45 seconds left in the game. Host Bishop O’Dowd had just tied the score up and the home fans stomping and clapping to accentuate their roaring cheers.
“With four starters gone, we obviously had a ton of doubters, and it just fueled us more,” Malali said. “I’m very confident,” Dougherty forward Azan Evans said about playing the team that beat Dougherty in the league tournament. “We’ve seen their stuff and we know what’s coming. We have what it takes to beat them.”
Led by Jayden Doty’s five quick points to end the first half, including a buzzer-beating coast-to-coast scoop layup through multiple defenders, Dougherty took a 36-34 lead into halftime. When football star Miles Dixon became the rare O’Dowd player to make both of his free throws with one minute remaining, Malali hit the biggest shot of the night to to put DV on top 65-63.
