Danville gained another win from Alameda, making it the fourth strong performance of the season, but there's more to do.
Danville took 68 points from Clayton Valley, 24 points from Bishop O’Dowd, 10 points from Pleasanton, and 61 points from Alameda.
Jesuit, Kahuku, Impress, then Meet

Danville Edges Granite Bay - NorCal Prem. Latest
The Danville Oaks and Granite Bay Grizzlies faced off Saturday in a meeting of the top two HS club teams in Northern California last season.
Granite Bay was coming off a tight loss to Jesuit, while Danville had already lost to the Solo Falcons, so both teams had something to prove.
It was a close game all the way, played at a furious tempo.
