CIF-SS playoff pairings set for basketball, soccer, water polo
It's playoff time for the winter sports teams from the desert that qualified in girls' water polo, boys' soccer, girls' soccer, boys' basketball and girls' basketball.
The water polo and soccer playoff pairings were announced Saturday and the basketball playoff pairings were revealed Sunday morning. Last year, we had a desert team from the winter season win a CIF-SS title as Palm Desert boys' soccer ran the table from a wild-card game all the way to hoisting the trophy.
Will a team from the desert match that feat this year? Here is the playoff schedule and keep in mind we will update this file throughout the postseason run as teams advance.
