St. John Bosco High celebrated all day Saturday after claiming the CIF Southern Section Division 3A boys basketball championship, its first title in ten years.
On Sunday night, the Braves’ merriment kind of came to an end after seeing the pairings for the 32nd annual CIF State Basketball Championships.
Bosco (24-6) was seeded sixth in the seven-team Southern California Regional Open Division playoffs and will host third-seeded Poly (27-3) at 7 p.m. on Friday in a first-round game. It will be a rematch of a Feb. 2 game that Poly won 60-54.
The Jackrabbits were ousted by Etiwanda in the CIF-SS semifinals, but got in on the merit of their high ranking and outstanding season. Etiwanda won the CIF-SS Division 1AA title over then No. 1 Mater Dei and was seeded first in the regional.
