What Went Wrong?
The Viking, April 14
The Palo Alto High School boys'
basketball team's season ended abruptly last month when the
Central Coast Section (CCS) forced the team to forfeit 11
wins and prematurely end its season due to the
ineligibility of one of its players. On February 16, 2008,
school officials notified members of the team that all 15
games in which senior Ed Hall had participated were to be
forfeited, changing the team's record from 16-8 to a dismal
5-19, and thus disqualifying it from the CCS playoffs. The
news came less than 16 hours after a momentous 50-26
victory against rival Gunn High School, one which had
significantly lifted the team's morale just a week before
the start of the playoffs.
