Open Division:
Miramonte (Orinda) 67, Chaminade (West Hills) 63
A tough one to call, but Miramonte’s other players besides Sabrina Ionescu are much better than many think.
Division I:
Brea Olinda (Brea) 71, St. Francis (Sacramento) 63
Ladycats are going for their 10th CIF state title in program history.
Division II:
Cajon (San Bernardino) 60, Elk Grove 48
Washington State-bound Kayla Washington poised to have a great finale.
Division III:
Sacred Heart Cathedral (S.F.) 58, Lakeside (Lake Elsinore) 47
Tough competition of WCAL for Irish is always a factor.
Division IV:
Cardinal Newman (Santa Rosa) 65, Antelope Valley (Lancaster) 60
We saw Cardinal Newman almost beat Clovis West, which is the reason we’re picking the Cards in this game.
Division V:
Village Christian (Sun Valley) 55, Eastside College Prep (E. Palo Alto) 51
A close call, but size of Village Christian could be difference.
