Dublin’s Cameron Anderson goes up for a basket against Livermore in the first half of their game at Livermore High School in Livermore, Calif., on Friday, Jan. 10, 2025. LIVERMORE – Livermore’s loss to Dublin on Friday night wasn’t for a lack of effort.
“Every game in the East Bay Athletic League is tough,” said Dublin coach Tom Costello. “When you play an upstart team that’s feeling good about themselves on a Friday night in their place, you’re going to get their best shot. But we weathered that part and we started to play the way we’re capable of playing.”
The Gaels won their 20th straight game against Livermore dating back to 2004, but Friday’s contest was a much more difficult challenge for the Gaels. In the 19 games before Friday, Dublin had beaten Livermore by an average of 35.2 points. Livermore has not won a league game since 2014. “In the past, we’ve kind of always been the doormat of the EBAL,” Tripp said. “People wouldn’t even prepare for us and they’d come in and get an easy win. But now they have to be prepared. We’re 13-4 and that’s pretty damn good. We play hard and we got some talent coming in. I think the main thing was believing they can believe in themselves and play good teams.”
Freshman Amari Chandler and Dylan Wherry each had 19 points. Alessandro Martz had eight points, eight rebounds and a block.
