CONCORD — Trailing by four with under two minutes to play in an epic East Bay Athletic League game against San Ramon Valley, De La Salle stayed calm and kept believing. 'Basketball's a simple game,' sophomore star Alec Blair would later say. 'Just put the ball in the basket and don't let the other team put the ball in the basket.' Two days after beating a team from Oregon that is ranked No. 1 nationally by USA Today, De La Salle returned to its home court on Wednesday night and scored the final eight points to win another thriller, 59-55.
