The Palo Alto girls' basketball team came up with another solid defensive performance and captured the championship of the Grant Winterfest Tournament with a 48-46 victory over Grant of Sacramento on Monday night. Despite not playing their best game, the Vikings (5-1) held on as 6-foot-2 Josie Butler blocked a last-second shot to preserve the victory. The Vikings allowed only 33.6 points a game during their three-game sweep of the tourney.
Paly senior Emilee Osagiede was named the tourney's Most Valuable Player and was joined on the all-tournament team by sophomore Danielle Palmer, junior Stephanie Allen and senior Lindsay Black.
