Remember, there will be two separate sessions for the southern regional finals games at the Long Beach Pyramid. The Pyramid will be cleared following the conclusion of the boys' division III game, so if you want to attend the second session, you'll have to get another ticket.

And in case you're interested in knowing who will be playing up in the NorCals this weekend (and who will potentially meet the winner of the Southern California Regionals the following Friday or Saturday in Sacramento in the finals) here's the schedule for the NorCal Regional Finals

CIF Northern Regional Finals Schedule, Saturday, March 13

Division I: De La Salle v. Oakland Fremont	8:00 p.m.	Arco Arena, Sacramento
Division II: Sacramento Grant v. Chico	4:15 p.m.	Arco Arena, Sacramento
Division III: El Cerrito v. Acalanes	12:45 p.m.	Arco Arena, Sacramento
Division IV: Colfax v. Christian Brothers	8:00 p.m.	Delta College, Stockton
Division V: Hoopa Valley v. Calvary Temple	4:00 p.m.	Delta College, Stockton

As you can see, there was one major upset, and that was in Division I, where St. Ignatius, which two weeks ago was ranked by USA Today as the No. 8 team in the country, ahead of Artesia, ahead of Dominguez, and ahead of Mater Dei, lost first in the Central Coast Section Finals to Bellarmine Prep, and then lost last night in the Regional semifinals to DeLaSalle, by a score of 47-30, which in essence translates into a complete collapse for St. Ignatius, which was, we thought when we first saw them in Vegas, one of the best coached teams we'd ever seen. Our condolences to St. Ignatius and to Coach Don Lippee, and our congratulations to Concord De La Salle and to coach Frank Alloco.
