Fontana @ Long Beach Poly -- Poly comes in at 26-2 and the No. 1 seed in the bracket, and beat Century on Friday 74-46.

Curtis Williams is the top shooter and he scored 30 points against Oxnard. Warren is definitely the underdog though. Rancho Cucamonga is 25-2 and features three players who average in double figures: Derrick Andrew, Corey Starks and Jon Wollam, and the home court advantage will help.

Jordan @ Los Alamitos--Long Beach Jordan will feature Travon Bryant (6'-8" Sr. PF) probably the best unsigned big man in California, and one of the few players to make the cut as a McDonald's All-American nominee from the West Coast. He scored 33 points in the Panther's 69-66 win over Santa Monica on Friday, and Jordan is now 19-8 on the season and looking for No. 20. Los Alamitos, which has the homecourt advantage is 21-4 on the season and is led by Jeff Grgas (6'-9" Sr. F) and Kenny Carter (6'-8" Sr. F) in the post, and there are a number of excellent guards on both teams who can shoot the lights out.

Sorry, we don't have the roster; the CIF Media forms for Eisenhower were not included in our package. That's not to say that they weren't turned in by Eisenhower, just that we don't have them, and we don't have time to hunt around for a roster right now.

Their key players are:

Alex Acker who led the Eagles on Friday night with 21 points and seven rebounds
Marcus Sams with 10 boards
Joel Hart (14 points)
Dante Rouzan (12 points)
