Yes, But

Despite the loss, Palo Alto’s Yabsera Ketema said the team improved from its previous matchup with Milpitas, when the Trojans scored 50 points. The Vikings were also without their starting quarterback, and the team said it must bring more intensity to upcoming games.

What’s Next

Palo Alto is scheduled to play Wilcox on Monday. Milpitas needs to win its remaining games to stay in contention for a league title; a tie is possible if Los Gatos also wins out.

Bottom Line

Milpitas’ explosive passing attack overwhelmed Palo Alto, but the Vikings showed some progress despite a key absence. Their next game offers a chance to turn that improvement into a stronger finish.
