    #6 , I have mixed feelings about this playoff system. A 10-0 team like Northview has to face a Long Beach Poly in the first round. With all respect to Northview but that’s a tall order. Yet, in the oast Sierra Canyon won championships in the lower divisions. I know they equity but 1-9 team winning CIF is a joke.

    @ LP: Yep. That outcome alone fully illustrates the absurdity of the current CIF Southern Section playoff system.

    Eight overtimes? At a certain point, just flip a coin.
