Gray Named State Coach of the Year Fast Break he Palisades High boys volleyball team enjoyed a historic run last spring when the TDolphins captured their second City Section title in a row and reached the semifinals of the CIF Southern California Regionals for the first time. On the heels of one of the most successful seasons in program history, head coach Carlos Gray has been named the National Federation of High School Coaches’ California State Coach of the Year for the 2018 boys campaign. “I just found out and I am truly humbled and honored,” Gray tweeted. “The effort from all of our players and coaches made it possible!” Palisades ended the season ranked in the top 10 in the state after compiling a 34-3 record and winning the Redondo Varsity Classic. Two of the Dolphins’ defeats came at the hands of Division I state champion Corona del Mar from Newport Beach and the other was to Alemany of Mission Hills, which ended the season 15th in California. Along the way the Dolphins reached the finals of both the Dos Pueblos Invitational and the Karch Kiraly Tournament of Champions and went undefeated in City competition, sweeping Chatsworth in the Open Division final.

Introducing: Dear Vany!
By VANESSA MASTERSON Junior Reporter
ello Pali Post! I am Vanessa “Vany” Master- son and I am starting a kid’s advice column. HThis is something I have wanted to do for a long time because I love to help my friends when they are in fights and feel confused about what to do in any situation. Last year I was a peacemaker at my school and I helped many people who were sad. Feel free to send questions and I will work hard to give the best advice possible!
Vanessa is a Junior Reporter for the Palisa- dian-Post. Her work includes running a pet Hal- loween costume contest and, most recently, her top lists for things in 2018. Submit questions for Dear Vany to [email protected]. Written in ques- tions will also be accepted: 881 Alma Real Drive, Suite 213, Pacific Palisades CA 90272.
