bracket VA

Finally, the last of the brackets. The smallest of the small schools, these are all in Division V-A. And like the others, this one comes directly from the CIF, so we know it's official. An * indicates the Home team; # indicates the seed within the regional bracket, and the league is indicated by the name in parenthesis (except the "At-Large" teams, which aren't identified by league, because they aren't representing their league since in most cases, they didn't qualify outright but had to get a coin flip or some other invitation to the dance.)

We'll try to keep filling this in as results become available during the playoffs. There are some notes from the CIF Committee responsible for these brackets, which should be carefully read before relying upon them as final (see below), especially before you drive across town to go see one of these games. Just as we've been telling you all year, if you rely on these before calling the school or checking other sources (such as a newspaper the day of the event) you do so at your own risk. Note also that there are NO wild card games in this Division.

Overall in the Division V-A bracket, the No. 1 Seed is Rolling Hills Prep; No. 2 Laguna Blanca; No. 3. Rio Hondo Prep; and No. 4 Price. Each of these top four seeds has been placed into a "region" with other teams according to their overall seeding, with the top four overall seeds being the No. 1 team in their respective regions.

And here's the standard print at the bottom of each bracket directly from the CIF:

We've left off the rest of the announcement because it's really only intended for the teams to call in their scores and for the media, but you get the idea. This draw sheet can be changed anytime the CIF wants to prior to the start of the games, but chances are, other than a change in time for a game, you won't see these change very much at all. Again, please, please, please, check your local paper, and/or call a school before you make a trip for a game, because it might be rescheduled, and we can't be responsible if you make a long drive. If you do without first checking, don't come crying to us about it. We told you so.
