Stockton – San Ramon Valley left all the pieces on the ground.
Despite a chilly night, early bad difficulties and a rough opposing crowd, the visiting wolves by some means made it a game.
But ultimately Lincoln-Stockton was simply an excessive amount of.
With the prospect to go to the second title of Division I Division I, SRV couldn’t overcome a chilly shootout, for the reason that wolves fell 66-58. Lincoln will play the Socal Powerhouse Sierra Canyon under the direction of Bryce Cofield and Bryce James (son of the NBA star LeBron James) on Friday.
After SRV took over a basket two minutes after the second quarter shortly before the second quarter, he reported no basket until the third period of the third period. While the wolves led the Lincoln to 5 five with only greater than 20 seconds in the sport, it was too late because Lincoln's leadership was simply an excessive amount of to beat them.
“It wasn't our night and loan to her,” said SRV coach Brian Bottenen. “We never gave up until the end, but you can't go in one game for eight minutes and not score and expect great things to happen. But credit to your defense because this is her year. “
Senior Luke Isaak led SRV with 18 points, six rebounds and four assists. Elliot Conley added 15 points and his brother Thomas Conley entered 12.
“We had many doubts this season after we lost many of our seniors last year,” said Thomas. “But I couldn't be proud of our group that I did it that far. I know it is difficult to lose this game, but it's what it is. “
SRV opened the second quarter with a point lead and seemed to run away with the game after reaching his first four 3-pointer to achieve a lead from 30-21 in the first half.
But as you did all year round, Lincoln has teamed up a long run behind his defense.
Weber State Commit Anthony Moore took over the second quarter with his elite shot and scored 11 of his game height of 21 points during this period. The Trojans scored 17 unanswered points after they had dropped nine and took the lead at 38 to 30.
Lincoln made a 6-0 flood to start the third quarter, but had SRV scored a basket for five minutes in the second half. Moore and the Senior Point Guard Donez Lindsey completed the lanes and SRV forced SRV in controversial jump shots and hard layup tests.
Bottenen led breakdowns to the defensive end of why his team had to fight offensive in the middle stadiums of the game.
“We had to struggle with the rebound and then we had trouble getting shots to fall,” said Bottenen. “In the end they had one night on the boards and we couldn't answer.”
Lincoln exceeded SRV 38 to 22 for the game. The Trojans also put pressure on the depth of SRV when Elliot and Startmittel Brad Laird had bad difficulties at the beginning of the second quarter.
The Trojans planned to attack the SRVS stars at both ends in the second and third quarter.
“We know that teams usually go into their course and get all their energy out in the first quarter,” said Moore. “We always know that the second and third parties are always our quarter to play and come out of defense.”
SRV followed 14 after three and beat up to 15 in the fourth quarter.
But the wolves did not lay down in classic SRV fashion.
After a layup by Isaiah Davis, in which Lincoln rose to 59: 44 with a little more than three minutes, SRV made a 12: 3 run to bring the wolves within six. SRV came so close to five after a Putback Layup from Isaak, but the time was not on the side of the wolves.
Lincoln has published the game in the Free Wurfine to terminate the SRV season and hopes to achieve the second State D1 title game in a row.
“This is the kind of team we are. We will never give up, ”said Senior Point Guard Mason Thomas over the fourth quarter of SRV. “You beat us. We struck back right away and first gave up until this pipe blew and the buzzer went. “
While the SRV senior class desired to end with a second title game from the state, there have been no low -hanging heads that went back to the changing room. This group of seniors, which incorporates each Conley Brothers, Isaak, Laird and Thomas, went to 4 consecutive Norkal playoffs.
Thomas Conley said he had estimated at any moment and played along with his brother, especially this season.
“It meant a lot because this could be the last time my brother and I step together to the Court,” he said. “This group of seniors has been playing for a very long time. It meant all the pieces and ultimately we gave ourselves all the pieces. And I couldn't be proud. “
