The Palisades High football team was back in action on July 13 at the Westside Classic 7-on-7 passing tournament in Culver City.
The Dolphins opened pool play strong by shutting out City Section rival Carson 26-0. In their second game they were edged by Lancaster 26-24 and in their group finale they surrendered a touchdown on the last play of an 18-16 defeat to Torrance, despite two touchdown passes thrown by Jack Thomas and two interceptions on defense.
Palisades faced El Rancho in the first playoff round and the Dolphins were well on their way to victory after a pair of scoring tosses by Brett Federman, but sophomore receiver Asher Rothman suffered a knee injury that required a splint, prompting Palisades coach Dylen Smith to end the Dolphins’ day prematurely.
Summer practice continues this week and the Dolphins worked on conditioning as they creep closer to the start of full contact in August. Palisades will scrimmage host Santa Monica on Aug. 16 to prepare for its season opener with Dymally on Aug. 23 at Stadium by the Sea.
