Despite losing the CIF-SS Division IAA title game to Cajon, the Poly girls basketball team was awarded the No. 2 seed in the CIF State Division I SoCal Regionals. The Jackrabbits will be at home Monday at 7 p.m. against Santa Monica.

Gahr, which lost the boys CIF-SS Division IIIA final to Harvard-Westlake, was given the No. 6 seed and will have to travel to No. 4 Hanford West, the Central Section champ on Monday night.

Our esteemed BB guru Frank Burlison thought Dominguez, despite its semifinal loss in the CIF-SS Division IAA playoffs, would make the the state field. And the Dons did, getting the No. 5 seed and a first-round home game Monday against Santa Monica.

The second round is Tuesday, the third round Thursday and the Regional finals Saturday at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion.

Which local team has the best chance to reach the state finals?
