Breaking down the Division 2A bracket in the CIF-SS girls basketball playoffs:
DIVISION 2A
Top four seeds: Lakeside, Hart, South Torrance, Rio Mesa
County representatives: La Habra, Kennedy, Savanna, La Quinta, Tustin, El Modena
Rapid reaction: El Modena is the highest-seeded team in this division (15) and they have to go on the road to play Tustin in the opening round.
The winner of that game is rewarded with a likely matchup with No. 2 Hart (20-6) in the second round.
La Habra, Kennedy and La Quinta all have first-round road games, meaning Savanna is the only team playing at home. Like Tustin, the Rebels will host a higher-seeded team in Murrieta Mesa.
Tough draw across the board for county schools.
