CIF Southern Section Boys'
Division II-A Pairings--(Feb. 14, 1999)

We spent the entire morning down at Gahr High School as the CIF Southern Section playoff pairings and brackets were announced this morning. The third bracket to be announced was Division II-A, and as you can imagine, the place was packed with coaches, administrators, coaches, and more coaches, all wondering what their first matchup would be.

Here are the pairings. All of the first games will take place on Friday, February 19, 1999. The Second Round will take place on February 23; the Semifinals will take place on March 2, 1999, while the finals is at the Pond at Anaheim.

We don't have time to actually put up the bracketing right now, but we'll do it later. In the meantime, if you use your imagination, you'll be able to picture it. The top seeds in the Division are Inglewood (No. 1), Santa Margarita (#2), Pacifica (#3), and Muir (#4). Here are the first round pairings:

Inglewood (Bay #1) v. Bye
Los Altos (Miramonte#1) v. Bishop Amat (At Large)

The home team is the first team listed.

No confusion, no controversy in this division.

In any event, all games are at 7:30 p.m. at the home school. We'll have the actual bracketing up later, and more commentary and analysis.
