Palo Alto head football coach Earl Hansen continues to bask in the glow of the Vikings 2010 Division I California state football championship.

ESPN RISE Cal Hi Sports named Hansen as the California Coach of the Year.

Hansen, who just completed his 23rd year as the school's head coach, owns a 174-85-3 record.

Palo Alto ended the school's sixth undefeated season with an upset win over heavily-favored Centennial-Corona 15-13 in the state championship game.
