OCVarsity has the pairings and breakdown for all of the CIF-SS girls basketball divisions.
DIVISION 3A
Top four seeds: 1. Antelope Valley; 2. La Canada; 3. Corona del Mar; 4. Righetti.
Last year’s final: Orange Lutheran def. Santa Margarita, 35-31
Playoff dates: First round (Feb. 18), second round (Feb. 20), quarterfinals (Feb. 24), semifinals (Feb. 27), final (March 4 or 5).
CONNOLLY’S COMMENTS: Natalia Bruening has been consistenly great for Corona del Mar this season, being held to single-digit points just once this entire year. The UC Santa Barbara-bound center has the ability to lead the third-seeded Sea Kings on a lengthy run in this division. . . . Because CdM possesses such great size in the post, slowing down the game and dictating tempo will be crucial. . . . Top-seeded Antelope Valley is the prohibitive favorite, winning 22 games in a row headed into postseason play.
