"OAKLAND Inside a buzzing McClymonds gymnasium, Granada played with the confidence of a team that knows itself again. The Matadors beat Fremont-Oakland 72-70 in overtime on Saturday afternoon at the Double Goal Coaches Classic, extending a start that has proven that the Livermore school can be contenders in the East Bay Athletic League once again. The Tigers rallied from an early double-digit deficit, but Granada hit every big shot at the end of regulation and in overtime to seal a solid non-league win."
"I wasn't really nervous being out in this situation because we practiced it. It was just really exciting to see it all come to fruition on the floor. Johnson's son, Quaran Johnson Jr., scored 16 points, including the game-tying jumper at the end of regulation. Johnson is back on the Granada bench after taking a leave of absence from the team last season to care for his newborn child."
