DANVILLE – Luke Isaak filled up the stat sheet on Tuesday night.
The San Ramon Valley guard had a near triple-double as totaled 23 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists to lead SRV to a 76-55 victory over Dublin at home.
“I was shocked when I heard about it in the locker room,” Isaak said. “I’ve never come close to getting 10 assists. I was just trusting my teammates, trusting the people around me and letting the game come to me.”
SRV senior Elliot Conley had 22 points and four rebounds and point guard Mason Thomas added 10 points.
SRV, which boasts a four-guard lineup, out-rebounded Dublin 29-26 and made 14 3s as a team.
Dublin point guard Miles Pollard led the Gaels with 16 points. Junior center Cameron Anderson had 11 points and five rebounds.
“They’re the best 3-point shooting team in the league,” said Dublin coach Tom Costello.
Dublin scored the first basket of the game, but that was the only time the Gaels ever had a lead on Tuesday.
SRV opened the first quarter with a 10-2 run, prompting Costello to call a timeout, two and a half minutes into the game.
Dublin clawed back in the second quarter as Pollard scored eight of his 10 first-half points to bring the Gaels within three points of the SRV lead going into halftime.
But it was all SRV from there.
A 10-4 run to start the third quarter gave SRV a quick 10-point lead. A Thomas 3-pointer at the 3:13 mark of the third period built the Wolves’ advantage to 13 points.
SRV outscored Dublin 26-12 in the third to take a commanding 17-point lead into the final eight minutes of play.
The nail in the coffin came in the fourth quarter when Isaak threw a football pass off an inbound to a streaking Conley who threw down a ferocious one-hand dunk, giving the Wolves a 69-50 lead with just over two minutes remaining.
SRV has been playing its best basketball as of late. The Wolves have won their last eight and 12 of their last 13 games as they sit in a tie for first place in the East Bay Athletic League with Dougherty Valley and De La Salle.
SRV coach Brian Botteen said his team is not looking too far ahead, but believes come section playoffs, that his team should be considered one of the best in the North Coast Section.
“I think it’s safe to say that we’re an open team and we’ve earned that,” he said. “Whoever it is we play, it’s just the next game. We play plenty of really good teams, so we’ll be excited about whoever it is we’re going against.”
