After winning only one of seven games in the Open, I-AAA, and I-A divisions, San Diego Section entries in the Girls’ Southern California basketball playoffs rallied in the lower divisions.
At least one team is assured a place in finals on Saturday. St. Joseph, the No. 1 seed, in Division V-AAA, plays host to neighboring Fallbrook in the semifinals tonight after receiving a first-round bye and will try to repeat its 45-44 victory over the Warriors in the San Diego D-III championship.
Another No. 1-ranked squad, Victory Christian, is host to No. 4 Playa del Rey St. Bernard in D-VIAA.
Seedings precede numbers in parenthesis, which represent the statewide rating of the team by Max Preps.
