girls all-cif division v-aa

When we say "All-CIF" what we generally mean is those players who have been selected as "All-CIF Southern Section." Today's Daily News sports section, at page 8, column 4, featured a very surprising bit of detail: The Girls Basketball All-CIF selections. Not all of the selections, but just a single half of a division, Division V-AA. This release is verrrrry strange, coming as it did yesterday, simply because SCIBCA has been telling everyone and anyone that all of the divisions would be released at the same time, and that it wouldn't happen until later this month. Either someone leaked this to the Daily News in advance of the announcement of the official selections, or this just isn't the official list. . . we don't know, but all we know is that we haven't been able to obtain any official confirmation from SCIBCA that this is the D-VAA list.

So, we're going to be cautious about this one. . . we don't know if this is the official All-CIF, or just someone's idea of who might be selected. SCIBCA has set sometime in the latter part of March or the beginning of April for the official release of the All-CIF selections. So please don't ask us for the rest of the divisions, or for the boys' selecitons. We don't know, and we'll find out along with everyone else, i.e., when the newspapers publish them, or when the CIF Southern Section releases them. Until then, we just don't know.

But here's the list that the Daily News published yesterday for the Girls' Division V-AA All-CIF Selections:
