CIF-SS Boys Division III-A Bracket:
First Round Pairings--(Feb. 10, 2002)

This is a 16 team bracket with one wild-card game, Burroughs Ridgecrest (hosting) v. Estancia, which will be played on February 13.  The seeds in this bracket are No. 1 Compton Centennial, No. 2 Bishop Montgomery, No. 3 La Canada, and No. 4 Muir.   So why are Muir and Bishop Montgomery not playing at home if they are higher seeds?  The answer is that only teams which won their leagues, i.e., No. 1 finishers in league get the home game.  Gabrielino and Santa Paula were both No. 1 in their respective leagues, and Muir (which finished behind Pasadena and Crescenta Valley in Pacific League) and Bishop Montgomery (which finished second in Del Rey) Here's the rest of the bracket:
