First Round--Quarterfinals

Upper Bracket

La Jolla Country Day at Santa Clara
Pasadena Poly at Price

Lower Bracket

Immanual at El Cajon Christian
Antelope Valley Christian at Cambria Coast Union

We really like this division.  How can you not like a division where the No. 1 seed, Santa Clara, has two D-I college signees, one of whom scored 36 points in the Southern Section finals, whose coach has 8 zillion wins and has been around forever and won a State Title in every sport except lawn bowling?   Santa Clara has got to be the odds on favorite to finally get the State rings that were denied it last year due to injuries.  In our view only Price might stand in their way, but not for too long.  Of course, we will freely admit we haven't seen Coast Union the No. 2 seed,  No. 3, El Cajon Christian or the other San Diego team, La Jolla Country Day. And Reedley Immanuel is really a mystery except for what we've been reading about them.  And if Poly expects to have half a chance, they'd better recuperate from Friday night's loss at the Bren Center.

The final in this Divisin will be at Cal State Long Beach's Pyramid at 11:00 a.m.  Of course the winner goes on to play the NorCal winner.  We'll be there watching.

Here's the D-II Southern Regional Bracket:
