Division V-AA girls bracket

3/7/04 Update: Congratulations to Los Angeles Pacific Hills HS, the 2003-04 CIF-SS Division V-AA Champions, and to Thacher School of Ojai, the Division runner-up.

This is a 16-team bracket with 5 "Wild-Card" games which will be played on Thursday, February 19. Here are the Wild Card games scheduled:

Now this bracket is a bit different than most, because the No. 1 seed in the bracket is Pacific Hills, one of the wild card teams, and to top it all off, they don't even get a home game until, at the earliest, the quarterfinals. But that's what happens when a seeded team is an at-large entry. And since they won, the Bruins will play on the road for a second time against Newbury Park Adventist on Saturday. The other three "seeded" teams in the bracket, who have a much more conventional road to the finals are No. 2 Thacher, No. 3 Rolling Hills Prep, and No. 4 New Roads. The host team is the one listed second in the bracket (preceded by the @ symbol). First Round games begin on Saturday, February 21.

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].
