CIF-SS Boys Division III-A Bracket:
Quarterfinal Results & Details--(Feb. 20, 2002)

The bracket has been updated to reflect all first and quarterfinal round games, and semifinal matchups are shown. Home teams are the teams with the fewest home games played previously. If both teams have the same number of home games, the home team (which gets to select the "alternate site" for the semifinals) is determined by a coin-flip.
