OCVarsity has the pairings and analysis for all of the CIF-SS girls basketball divisions.
DIVISION 5AA
Top four seeds:
1. Heritage Christian; 2. Calvary Chapel/Downey; 3. Crean Lutheran; 4. Pilibos
Playoff dates: Wild card (Feb. 14), First round (Feb. 16), Second round (Feb. 18), Quarterfinals (Feb. 22), Semifinals (Feb. 25), Championship game (March 3 or 4).
CONNOLLY’S COMMENTS: Crean Lutheran enters the 16-team bracket as the No. 3 seed, and opens up against Rubidoux. The Saints played Oxford Academy close twice, and should fare well having played one of the division’s most difficult nonleague slates against the likes of La Habra, Whittier Christian and Garden Grove.
All games 7 p.m. unless noted.
