Solid effort by Wildcats at NCS finals
The Dougherty Valley girls varsity basketball team played hard at its first North Coast Section Division 3 final against Bishop O'Dowd on Friday evening at St. Mary's College. O'Dowd won, 60-49, but the Wildcats gave a solid performance. This is the third year for the basketball program at Dougherty Valley. The team has no seniors, two juniors - Rayven Brooks and Ariana Flynn - and the rest are sophomores and freshmen. Photos by Chris Scott/www.calsportsphoto.com.
