There was no stopping Jalen Stokes.

The 6-foot-5 Dougherty Valley forward scored bucket after bucket for four quarters and ended the game Friday 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 — ranked seventh by the Bay Area News Group — pulled out an 81-76 victory at home in Danville 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.

Thomas Conley led the Wolves with 20 points. UC Irvine commit Luke Isaak scored 19, Mason Thomas had 17 and Elliot Conley totaled 15 points in the win.

Stokes, a UC Davis commit, played in just his fifth game for No. 5 Dougherty Valley since being ruled eligible to play after his transfer from Dublin.

“He’s hyper-competitive and he’s playing with a joy I’m not sure he’s had,” Dougherty Valley coach Mike Hansen said after Friday’s game. “He’s going to be a problem for the rest of the league and beyond.”

No. 1 Archbishop Riordan 64, Bellarmine 38 >> Most basketball teams would be happy to have one go-to player. With Riordan, it’s almost easier to determine who isn’t dangerous.

Wing Jasir Rencher? He’s a problem. Guard Andrew Hilman? A headache. Coupled with a deep bench and a towering center combo of 6-foot-10 Nes Emeneke and 6-foot-9 JP Pihtovs, the Crusaders can roll over almost any opponent.

That’s exactly what happened to Bellarmine on Friday night in San Jose. The Bells welcomed in Riordan for a battle of 10-1 teams, and they trailed by just three points after the first quarter. But Riordan took a double-digit lead into the half after a 13-0 run, and the Crusaders simply were too much to stop down the stretch in a win.

Part of the problem with stopping Riordan (11-1, 2-0 WCAL) is the Crusaders come at you in waves. Seven players scored at least six points for the Crusaders, and five reached double figures.

No. 9 Dublin 69, Livermore 57 >> Livermore’s loss to Dublin wasn’t for a lack of effort. The Cowboys scrapped and clawed until the very end, but it wasn’t enough to beat Dublin’s high-powered offense even with a raucous home crowd by their side.

After a tight first half, Dublin proved to be too much for Livermore as the Gaels won their league opener and improved to 15-1 on the season.

“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.”

Dublin forward Cameron Anderson led the Gaels with 14 points and six rebounds. Jordan Morganstein totaled 13 points and five rebounds, junior Jaiden Jones added 12 points and Miles Pollard did it all for Dublin as he scored 11 points, grabbed four rebounds and dished out four assists.

The Gaels won their 20th straight game against Livermore dating back to 2004.

But the new-look Livermore team under first-year head coach Mike Tripp has made strides to becoming more competitive. The Cowboys entered their league opener with a 13-3 record – their best start to a season in over 20 years.

No. 3 De La Salle 58, Monte Vista 30 >> De La Salle’s offense hummed as three players scored in double figures and two others scored six or more points. Senior guard Bryce Patton had 12 points, junior Ibrahim Monawar scored 11 and Oklahoma commit Alec Blair totaled 10 points as De La Salle improved to 15-1, 1-0. Monte Vista is 12-6, 0-1.

No. 14 California 56, Amador Valley 44 >> Senior point guard Dane Wallace led California to its first league win of the season as he scored 27 points, had two steals and blocked three shots in the Grizzlies’ victory over Amador Valley. California’s Ketan Kumar added 13 points. On a tough shooting night for the Dons, junior Cade Krueger had a team-high 20 points.

Campolindo 59, Miramonte 49 >> Gavin Rendle scored 16 points, Ren Marchetti had 15 and Luke Devine had 13 points as Campolindo defeated Miramonte at home.

Leland 57, Evergreen Valley 50 >> Leland earned a hard-fought win over Evergreen Valley behind 17 points from Steven Watson. Gurkaran Khehra added 13 points and Daniel Garcia had eight.

Los Gatos 77, Wilcox 38 >> The Wildcats (11-3, 2-1) had four players in double figures as they cruised past Wilcox (7-3,1-1). Ethan Oppenheimer had led Los Gatos with 12 points. Dionysis Maroudas added 11 points and Anthony Martin and Owen Panu each had 10.

No. 3 Acalanes 87, Berean Christian 19 >> The Dons had their highest point total of the season as they routed Diablo Athletic League foe Berean Christian. Senior Ariana Hallstrom had a game-high 23 points. Dulci Vail scored 15, Sofia Fernandez had 14 and Lexi Le totaled 11 points as Acalanes improved to 14-1, 2-0.

No. 12 St. Ignatius 46, No. 15 Valley Christian 42 >> Junior Sophia Sanchez scored 21 points as St. Ignatius won a close WCAL game at home. Freshman Lulu Giometti added 12 points for the Wildcats. Kenedi Nomura had a game-high 22 points for Valley Christian.

Half Moon Bay 71, Carlmont 42 >> Half Moon Bay notched its 10th win of the season led by a 22-point performance from junior center Zoey Lemoge. Carlmont’s Willow Ishibashi-To knocked down four 3-pointers and finished with 19 points.

Hillsdale 49, Menlo-Atherton 41 >> Daniella Sierra scored 15 points, Kiara Nitao had 11 and Hillsdale beat Menlo-Atherton to improve to 12-1 overall and 2-0 in league. Molly Gray had eight points to lead Menlo-Atherton, which dropped to 7-5, 1-1.

San Mateo 41, Terra Nova 36 >> San Mateo captured its ninth win in 10 games, defeating Terra Nova on the road. Kaitlyn Schuh scored a team-high 14 points and Yanira Nunez added nine for San Mateo. Reese Kelley had 16 points for Terra Nova.
