The second game of pool play in California's CIF Southern Section playoffs is in the books, and it will likely cost the St. John Bosco [Bellflower, CA] Braves their Top 50 position in the next edition of The Sporting News high school boys basketball rankings.
The Braves were upset by a solid but relatively unheralded La Mirada [CA] Matadores' squad on Friday night in a 56-53 setback. St. John Bosco has spent most of the year in the Next 25 rankings on the fringe of the Top 25, but they'll likely fall off the bubble thanks to the loss.
California's playoff action will resume Tuesday night with several teams ranked in the Top 50 back on the hardwood looking to advance in the postseason. That includes the Golden State's top-ranked No. 9 Sierra Canyon [Chatsworth, CA] Trailblazers who will take on the Corona del Mar [Newport Beach, CA] Sea Kings in the Southern Section's Pool A.
Pool B, meanwhile, will feature the Top 50 Santa Margarita [Rancho Santa Margarita, CA] Eagles in a tussle vs. the Harvard-Westlake [Studio City, CA] Wolverines – a team that has also spent time in the Top 50 and could be in the running to take St. John Bosco's slot in the next rankings. That game will decide the Pool B champion.
Pool C and Pool D will also feature Top 50 teams in action with the Redondo Union [Redondo Beach, CA] Sea Hawks facing off against the Centennial [Corona, CA] Huskies for the Pool C championship while that St. John Bosco squad will look to save face against the Notre Dame SO [Sherman Oaks, CA] Knights who will be looking to claim the Pool D title.
Northern California's Archbishop Riordan [San Francisco, CA] Crusaders are also in the national Top 50, and they will put a bow on the regular season against the St. Ignatius College Prep [San Francisco, CA] Wildcats. Finally, the Top 50 St. Joseph [Santa Maria, CA] Knights will get their postseason journey started against the Centennial [Bakersfield, CA] Golden Hawks after receiving a first-round bye in the CIF's Central Section championships.
