Last season, the Palisades High girls basketball team got bounced out of the City and SoCal Regional playoffs in the first round and the Dolphins are determined to make deeper postseason runs this winter, led by
All-City guard Elly Tierney. They also want to improve on last year’s third-place finish in the Western League.
Other key returners for Adam Levine’s varsity squad include junior guard-forward Ayla Teegardin, senior guards Alyssa Ramirez and Annie Ammer, sophomore guard Olivia Lewis and sophomore forward Riley Oku.
The Dolphins went 17-13 one year ago, falling to King-Drew in the City Open Division quarterfinals, then having to wait nearly two weeks to host their Division III regional game as the No. 3 seed and losing to No. 14 Palos Verdes, 61-58.
The Dolphins open the season December 3 at 3 p.m. against Calabasas in the Westside Classic and continue the tournament against Camarillo the following day, also at 3:15 p.m. The schedule also includes nonleague matchups with Culver City, Valencia, Redondo Union, Oak Park, Paramount and Moorpark. League play opens January 6 at University.
