Palo Alto football, volleyball teams begin state title defenses
Sports, posted by Editor, Palo Alto Online, on Sep 1, 2011 at 11:22 pm

The curtain goes up on special seasons for the Palo Alto football and girls' volleyball teams on Friday. The big question facing both squads is whether they'll get stage fright.

Correction - Paly's first State titles in 113 years were the 1993 & 2006 Boys Basketball Squads.

Actually, the reporter said the first for "each" of the programs. Speaking in regards to the Football and Volleyball programs.

The reporter gave props to the boys basketball teams. :)

"It was the first such titles for each program in 113 years of Palo Alto sports history. The Vikings also have two state crowns in boys' basketball (1993 and 2006)."

Here's to another great and SAFE year of Paly sports!

Paly also won the "mythical" state championship in boys water polo back in 1993. Undefeated, won the "state invitational" and the CCS championship.
