![Football head coach Edward Tonga poses inside the athletic director’s office today at Palo Alto High School after being named the program’s new head coach. According to Tonga, balancing athletes’ responsibilities beyond athletics limited preparation, making great involvement ahead of competition an important factor in improving results. “At the time [football season], a lot of the players were involved in other sports, involved in school and also work,” Tonga said. “On top of that, it’s time management. This year, if I am able to do a lot with them during the off-season and be more present, it will definitely help shape the football season.”](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/IMG_6958-1200x900.jpg)
![Viking senior Finnegan Schoebel shoots through two defenders in a draw against the Pioneer Mustangs Friday night at home. According to Lodino, the team will improve as they build camaraderie and chemistry with one another.
“We had a long talk after the game about how well they [the players] know each other, and what they know about each other,” Lodino said. “It's a new group. Now that our next game isn’t until Jan. 3 we can use the break to build trust and feel more comfortable.”](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot-2025-12-13-at-8.37.35-PM-1200x796.png)
