It is sad that they can't do state, but the regional brackets don't do much for me any more. The Central Section is painfully small when it comes to schools sponsoring the sport, and it seems that will hold them back when it comes to the regional brackets. Last year Buchanan made D1 by virtue of winning the CIF CS and Clovis (a school with about 3000 students) was put in D2 because they lost in the CIF CS finals. It seemed like Buchanan had a good shot at making the Southern Regional semis most years (they lost to HB one year in the first round, and Clint Olivier carried Beckman on his back to upset Buchanan in 2016). Most years it seems that Buchanan lost to Loyola or HB, though there were some great matches with Loyola along the way. I haven't remembered a team from the SDS making it to the semis lately. This seems to be the first time someone from the LA City Section has made it to the semis in recent memory as well. It does seems a bit like a rehash of the CIF SS playoffs.
In the north this year the semifinal matches are both rematches of section finals matches: Monta Vista/Bellarmine and Buchanan/Clovis

It’s going to be pretty tough for Newport Harbor to pull off the upset over CDM without setter Joe Karlous who will be training with the USAV YNTT. Good luck to both programs!

Maybe! If not, I guess he had to make a choice. Somebody at the OTC could weigh in on this.

Palisades returns a lot of weapons. They should challenge for the title next year.

The CIF Socal D1 Regional Championship will be at 6:00 pm at Corona del Mar High School. I believe it is already sold out, BUT you can watch it on FloVolleyball. I was asked to work it.

Which idiot removed the SoCal final games from Edison? "Someone" didn't check the schedules early on and Edison's gym was due for a resurfacing/renovation.
