Athletic Director and Varsity Football Coach Nelson Gifford congratulates the Palo Alto High School varsity football team for a victory during the 2019 season at Viking Stadium. Over the summer, some Palo Alto Unified School District campuses reopened for socially distanced summer conditioning and several athletic teams at Paly held practices for five weeks before the Santa Clara County prohibited athletics activities. As athletics and the county start to reopen again, Gifford said he believes that contact sports will be able to play if in-person instruction begins. If we can teach in a classroom in an enclosed environment, we should be able to do these contact sports, Gifford said. We believe they kind of go hand in hand. Photo: Amy Yu

Senior forward William Schlemmer waits for the jump ball to start Paly’s game against Salesian on Saturday at the Peery Family Center. Schlemmer believes the Vikings need to come out stronger in the third quarter of games, as Paly lost a an eight point lead in the third quarter. We just need to realized that teams are going to come out firing on all cylinders when they’re down, and we should be the ones who overwhelm them with energy and not the other way around, Schlemmer said. We should use halftime to rest and use the first few minutes of the third quarter going all out to try and put the game away. Photo: Benner Mullin

Senior guard Spencer Rojahn shoots a layup in warmups against Gunn on Saturday in the Peery Family center. Paly separated themselves from Gunn in second quarter and didnt look back, however, senior forward William Schlemmer says the team could have played much better. I don’t think anyone on the team felt super good about the win, Schlemmer said. We didn’t play very well and we definitely wanted to play a better game in front of such a big crowd.

Junior guard Spencer Rojahn plays defense on Salesian’s University of Connecticut bound James Akinjo on Saturday at the Peery Family Center. Rojahn led Paly with 20 points and Akinjo led Salesian with 23, but it was Akinjo’s playmaking abilities that caused the Vikings problems in their loss, 65-57. We tried to put a taller player on him, [Rojahn], and make shoot outside contested shots, Diepenbrock said. He did and he made them. Photo: Benner Mullin
