1999 CIF Southern Regionals--Division II
Bracket and Schedule--(March 7, 1999)

Here are the first round matchups in the Southern Regionals for Division II in the State Championship Tournament.  All first round quarterfinal games will take place this coming Tuesday, March 9.  All games are played at 7:30 p.m.

First Round--Quarterfinals

Upper Bracket

East Bakersfield at Dominguez
Inglewood at Orange Glen


Lower Bracket

Serra at Mayfair
Gahr at Fresno Edison

The seeded teams are Dominguez #1, Fresno Edison  #2, Mayfair #3, and Orange Glen #4.   And unlike Division I, all the seeded teams get to stay at home for the first round quarterfinals. Note that an asterisk (*) indicates the home team.  Remember that whoever wins the finals in Divisions II, III and V (both boys & girls) will be at the Pyramid at Cal State Long Beach, while Divisions I & IV will be in in San Diego at Cox Arena.  We can't say we agree with the wisdom of splitting up the venues, but if you're from San Diego, it gives the home town crowd a chance to see the games.  Of course, if all the San Diego teams lose in I and IV, then it will be kind of a bust, won't it.  In fact, we can see it now; how's this for a disaster scenario:  Orange Glen wins in Division II and gets to play in Long Beach, while Horizon and Bonita Vista lose, so the normally interested San Diego fans won't really care to come to the D-I and D-IV Regional Finals.   

Hey, it could happen.  Here's the D-II Southern Regional Bracket:
