When the Palisades High boys basketball team lost 11 of its first 12 games no one could have predicted it would be one the eight best teams in the city at season’s end. Yet that is where the Dolphins find themselves after being placed in the Open Division. The Dolphins are seeded seventh and travel to No. 2 King/Drew (16-11), the Coliseum League champion, for a quarterfinal game Friday. Tip-off is at 7:45 p.m.
Palisades’ girls squad (17-11) is seeded fifth in the Open and travels to No. 4 King/Drew (17-7) Friday at 6 p.m., right before the boys game.
If the boys win, they will play No. 6 Grant or No. 3 Birmingham in the semifinals Feb. 17 at El Camino College. If the girls win, they will face top-seeded Birmingham or No. 8 Crenshaw in the semifinals the same day also at El Camino College.
