2023-2024 Girls Week 10A: Believe It! D-IV & V Regional Frontrunners From Here
The San Diego Section girls are 21-8 overall in the Southern California regional tournament and guaranteed two teams in next week’s state finals in Sacramento. That’s because the D-IV and V finals will offer a rarity among rarities:
All four regional finalists are from the San Diego Section.
Fallbrook’s 42-35 D-IV win over Oceanside advanced the No. 7 seed Warriors (26-8) to a match at No. 4 Grossmont (26-8), which defeated No. 1 Newbury Park, 57-39. Escondido Charter (24-11), also known as the White Tigers, will meet D-V No. 1 Montgomery (24-11), which edged No. 4 Reedley Immanuel, 41-39.
Overshadowed by the success of the four surviving teams is Cathedral (23-12), a seemingly no-chance No. 16 seed that scrambled the D-III bracket with its shock of No. 1 Dana Hills, 54-45, and continued to fight through the rounds. The Dons topped No. 8 Anaheim Canyon, 61-54, and led, 34-25, at halftime before running out of gas, or emotion, in a 54-51 loss at No. 5 Granada Hills.
