Division IV-A girls bracket

3/7/04 Update: Congratulations to Los Angeles Brentwood HS, the 2003-04 CIF-SS Division IV-A Champions, and to Calvary Chapel Downey HS, the Division runner-up.

This is a 32-team bracket with no "Wild-Card" games, and thus the first round will begin on Thursday, February 19. When the bracket was originally released, the four "seeded" teams in the bracket were No. 1 Brentwood, No. 2 Windward, No. 3 Calvary Chapel Downey, and No. 4 Bell Jeff. But apparently the CIF recognized that in seeding Brentwood over another team from the same seed who finished higher, they had violated their own seeding rules. Since Calvary Chapel Downey tied and won the coin flip, they were the designated as the league champion from the Olympic league, and thus were required to be seeded higher than Brentwood. So, in the revised version of the bracket, Calvary Chapel received the No. 1 seed, Brentwood becomes No. 2, Windward becomes No. 3 and Bell Jeff stays at No. 4. But because of the re-seeding, many of the games in the bracket have changed.

Below is the corrected, revised bracket, as of 2/16/04 at 10:00 a.m.. We don't anticipate any other changes. The host team is the one listed second in the bracket (preceded by the @ symbol).

All games with the exception of the final round will start at 7:30 p.m. unless another time is mutually agreed upon and clearance is received from the CIF-SS Office. 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]. Coin flips will be available after 9:30 a.m. and we'll try to keep everyone posted with them here.
