oad trips often bond teams closer together and that was Rone of the reasons Coach Adam Levine traveled with his Palisades High girls basketball team to Palm Springs over Winter Break to play in the Desert Heat Classic. The Dolphins won two of the three games they played and got a chance to test themselves against teams outside the City Section. It is a strategy Levine hopes will pay off when the postseason rolls around, especially with Palisades on track to make the eight-team Open Division. Junior guard Sammie Arnold earned All-Tournament honors in leading the squad to victories over Shadow Hills and Murrieta Mesa to take third place. Arnold made four 3-pointers and finished with 18 points in the Dolphins’ 62-25 opening victory over the host school last Thurs- day. She added 10 points and five rebounds in a 49-47 defeat to Cul- ver City the next day and had 10 by halftime of Saturday’s 63-34 rout of Murrieta Mesa.
