Division III-A boys bracket

This is a 32-team bracket, so why are the other divisions with the same number of teams only in the quarterfinal round? Because Division III-AA is only a 16-team bracket, and in order to coordinate the finals, Division III-A played the first round a few days earlier than most other brackets... In any event, here is the updated bracket, with scores from the second round from last Friday and the quarterfinals from Tuesday with game details where we've been able to quickly and easily locate them (mostly from the LA Times, but we've filled in other games they didn't cover with details from other local papers).... Here's what the bracket looks like now:

Public coin flips will be held in the lobby of the CIF-SS Office at 9:00 a.m. the day following each playoff game [these coin flips will determine subsquent sites after the first round, i.e., which school will be the host].
