Division I-AA boys bracket

The semifinals are now set, and this Tuesday we will see Eisenhower playing Oxnard, and Leuzinger taking on Silverado for the right to advance to the finals. The semifinal games will be played at "alternate sites" so we won't know the exact locations for a day or two. Silverado and Leuzinger have both played two home games, so there was a flip to determine the host, and Silverado won. Oxnard, on the other hand, got to play all of its three games thus far at home, so Eisenhower was the "host" team by default. Neither team had selected an "alternate site" as of the time of this story, but when we find out, we'll let everyone know where the games will be played.
