De La Salle holds off late rally to edge Granada in East Bay Athletic League showdown.
LIVERMORE — As time was about to expire Tuesday night in another East Bay Athletic League thriller, De La Salle’s Alec Blair stood tall to make sure there would be no overtime.
But it wasn’t to be for the home team as De La Salle won its fifth consecutive game — four in the league — to stay on the heels of first-place Dougherty Valley.“He makes big plays,” De La Salle coach Marcus Schroeder said. “He’s a really good player, and he’s also got a knack for the dramatic. I just think about what he’s done in his career already. A lot of go-ahead baskets. He’s hit buzzer-beaters at the end of the third quarter, fourth quarter, and he’s made great defensive plays.
The Spartans had gotten Andrew McKeever — Granada’s 6-11, St. Mary’s-bound center — into foul trouble and quieted the crowd.The Matadors closed to within 56-53 on McKeever’s putback with 22.2 seconds left and 58-55 on another basket by McKeever with 15.1 seconds to go.
