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.

Open Division girls Eastside Prep and Pinewood, who normally battle for section honors in Division V, both saw their CCS seasons end following second-round, consolation-bracket losses on Tuesday. 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
