CIF-SS Boys Division V-AA Bracket:
First Round Pairings--(Feb. 10, 2002)

This is a 32-team bracket with two "Wild-Card" games, and no "byes".  The first team listed is the host (for wild cards only), and the wild-cards will be played Wednesday February 13 (the host school is listed first):

Wild Card A:  

Rio Contiguo v. La Verne Lutheran

Wild Card B:  

Pacific Hills v. Rio Rancho

The top four seeded teams in the bracket are No. 1 Rolling Hills Prep, No. 2 Ribet (which has to play on the road in their first round game because they did not finish as the No. 1 league representative, finishing 3rd in the Harbor Leauge), No. 3 Santa Clara, and No. 4 Apple Valley Christian. We'll take a closer look shortly at the first round matchups, but in the meantime, here's the bracket (host schools are listed second, after the "@", which ought to give you a clue anyway about who the host will be):
