2018-19: La Jolla Country Day Boys & Girls in Finals
Three San Diego Section teams remain in play in the Southern California regional basketball playoffs, with La Jolla Country Day having representatives in Boys’ Division III and Girls’ D-I.
San Diego Southwest also reached the finals in Boys’ D-V.
The three local squads all face daunting tasks, as they will be on the road Tuesday night in the last stop before the state finals March 8-9 in Sacramento.
Coach Terry Bamford’s seasoned and tough 5 seed La Jolla Country Day Torreys visit No. 2 Fullerton Rosary. Coach Ryan Meier’s Boys’ No. 8 are at No. 6 La Cresenta Cresenta Valley.
Bamford’s Torreys were the last San Diego Section team to win a state title when they defeated Palo Alto Eastside Prep, 40-36, in 2014-15.
