![Palo Alto High School Viking senior guard Riley Yuen dribbles past a Menlo-Atherton High School Bear to get to the basket during the team’s semifinals Central Coast Section match on Thursday. Although the Vikings mounted a comeback in the first quarter, the team was not able to keep that lead and ultimately fell to the Menlo-Atherton High School Bears, 49-54. According to Viking head coach Jeff LaMere, he was proud of the way his team battled through adversity during the match. “It [the pressure of the match] wasn't so much about it being a semifinal game as it was about the opponent we're playing,” LaMere said. “One of the difficult things about a tournament is the quick one-day turnaround. We talked a lot about how to prepare against their ball pressure … and our guys did a good job. Overall, I'm proud of our effort and how we fought the entire game.” (Photo: Ketan Altekar-Okazaki)](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/2M4A4202-e1708906422127-1200x842.jpg)

They have very good players who can make tough shots.”](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/img_0013_720.png)
![Trying to weave his way through defenders, sophomore Jorell Clark dribbles down the court last Wednesday at Palo Alto High School. The Vikings lost to the Wildcats 34-36 after a desperate shot from Los Gatos barely made it in before the game ended. According to the Wildcats' Head Coach Nick Ward, his team knew that they didn’t perform well in the beginning, but also that they had enough time to turn it around. “We knew we hadn't played our best [during the first half], but we knew we had an additional 16 minutes to play,” Ward said. “Our guys came out and did a really good job executing starting third quarter really gave us a boost to get going. In the end, we made a couple plays and the game came out positive for us.” (Photo: Daniel Garepis-Holland)](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/jorellclark-e1675496306396-900x619.jpeg)
