Seniors Aldis Petriceks and Aubrey Dawkins led Paly with 17 and 16 points, respectively. Paly played without junior center Keller Chryst, who suffered an ankle injury in an opening-round loss to Mitty. He’ll miss the rest of the postseason. The No. 5-seeded Vikings were outscored in the second quarter, 11-4. Palo Alto (23-3), which has lost back-to-back games in the postseason following a 21-game win streak to end the regular season, next will compete in the CIF NorCal playoffs that begin next week.

Fourth-seeded Eastside Prep (21-8) fell to top-seeded Sacred Heart Cathedral, 46-44, and No. 7 Pinewood (20-8) dropped a 50-42 decision to No. 3 St. Ignatius. N
