Expectations were high for the showdown between conference foes Fairfax and Palisades Friday night. Ultimately the game lived up to expectations but took over 20 minutes of game time to get there. Poor shooting by Fairfax in the first half saw them trail 41-17. Midway through the third quarter Fairfax suddenly found their stroke and scored in bunches. Pali’s lead of 20+ points was a mere single digit lead late in the fourth quarter. The crowd, fully involved in the game, remained standing until the last possession of the game – Fairfax with the ball trailing by two points. Unable to connect from behind the three point line for the win, Pali players and fans celebrated their 64-60 victory. Pali remains undefeated in the Western League.
