MAJOR UPDATE: CIF SS Playoff
Schedules Revised:--(March 4, 1999)

Seems the CIF just can't stand leaving well enough alone.   Yesterday they issued a completely revised boys playoff schedule, and of course, they forgot to tell everyone except the coaches involved.  We want to thank Rob Hall of Pasadena Poly for alerting us to this mess.  The CIF-SS office now has a taped message available with the corrected schedule. So forget everything we told you before.  NOTE: THERE HAVE BEEN SOME MAJOR TIME CHANGES, AND THE ORDER OF GAMES IS NOW DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY POSTED BOTH HERE AND AT THE CIF-SS WEBSITE.

Here's the new schedule, as of March 4, 1999.

CIF SOUTHERN SECTION  & LA CITY SECTION 1998-99 BOYS BASKETBALL FINALS

Division Place, Session, Time
I-AA-- Artesia v. Long Beach Poly Sat., Mar. 6, Anaheim Pond - Evening Session, 6:30 p.m.
I-A--Glendora v. Mater Dei Sat., Mar. 6, Anaheim Pond - Evening Session, 8:30 p.m.
II-AA--Dominguez v. Gahr Sat., Mar. 6, Anaheim Pond - Day Session, 2:15 p.m.
II-A--Inglewood v. Mayfair Sat., Mar. 6, Anaheim Pond - Day Session, 12:30 p.m.
III-AA--Bishop Montgomery v. San Dimas Sat., Mar. 6, Anaheim Pond - Day Session, 10:45 a.m.
III-A--Chaminade v. Corona del Mar Sat., Mar. 6, Anaheim Pond - Day Session, 9:00 a.m.
LA "Division" Championship--Poly v. Jefferson Sat., Mar. 6, Loyola-Marymount, 3:00 p.m.
IV-AA--Serra v. Twentynine Palms Fri., Mar. 5, UCI Bren Center - Evening Session, 6:30 p.m.
IV-A--Verbum Dei v. Crossroads Fri., Mar. 5, UCI Bren Center - Afternoon Session 8:45 p.m.
V-AA--Pasadena Poly v. Santa Clara Fri., Mar. 5, UCI Bren Center - Evening Session 4:45 p.m.
V-A --Price v. Antelope Valley Chrisitian Fri., Mar. 5, UCI Bren Center - Afternoon Session, 3 p.m.
LA "City" Championship: Manual v. Fairfax Fri., Mar. 5, UCLA Pauley Pavilion, 8:00 p.m.

Again, Remember, that the LA City Boys' Championships will be played on Friday night at 8:00 p.m. at Pauley Pavilion, and allowing for travel time, if you intend to see that game between Manual Arts and Fairfax, you'll now probably have to forego at least part of Serra v. 29 Palms, and all of Verbum Dei v. Crossroads.   You can still probably catch all of Price v. Antelope Valley and at least part of Pasadena Poly v. Santa Clara too.   And if you want to see the girls City final which is scheduled for Friday, March 5, at 6:00 p.m. also at Pauley, then you'd better forget about almost all of the Irvine games given the way traffic is on a Friday up and down the 405.

On Saturday, the LA City Boys' and Girls' "Division" title games will be held at Loyola Marymount, with the
Girls game at 1:00 p.m. and the Boys' final at 3:00 p.m., so if you want to see those games, forget about Inglewood v. Mayfair and Dominguez v. Gahr.

And for those of you who think in a linear, real time mode, not by Divsion, who want to plan out where to be and when to be there, here's a chronoligal schedule for the boys' games.
