The high school regular season is over! Now the California Interscholastic Federation postseason brackets begin! The Southern Section, which makes up Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange County, San Gabriel Valley, and some parts of San Bernardino County, is the biggest competitive region in the state- one of the biggest sections in the country. There are 14 different brackets representing different levels of play. The Division 1 playoff features eight of the best teams in the country, highlighted by previous national champions St. John Bosco, Santa Margarita, Mater Dei, and Sierra Canyon. There are treasures of Division 1 talent playing in this playoff. I can't wait to break it all down.

A to C to A again: The inspections and reinspections of the Caf

From paper plates to refunds, a desolate Caf and dinners at Eagle’s Nest, Biola’s cafeteria has seen a lot of change over the past week. From Oct. 29 to Nov. 5, the Caf sported a C grade from a recent health inspection. After a reinspection on Nov. 5, the grade rose back to an A. With the 6th Street Grill still closed, pizza no longer being self-serve and paper cups lining the soda machines, students have more restrictions to their meal experience.

Winless GHS gets playoff surprise

If any prep sports observer sees a football team go 0-10 on the field yet make the playoffs, it would be quite a shock. That was the case with Gardena High. Two days after finishing this season at 0-10 after getting shut out by Wilmington Banning 42-0 in the Panthers’ Marine League finale and homecoming game last Thursday at Los Angeles Harbor College, Gardena received a spot in the CIF-Los Angeles City Section Division II playoffs as they open at top seed Jefferson High Friday at 7 p.m. in South L.A. It is quite an unexpected thing as players and coaches thought they would hang up their gear, and, suddenly, they will play, at least, one more game and hope they can upset the Democrats for even more contests.
