The Moore League wrestling programs found out their postseason paths Thursday afternoon as the CIF Southern Section released the 2026 brackets. 

Long Beach Poly and Millikan will represent the boys’ side and will be at Western High on Saturday to compete in Division 3. The Rams entered as an at-large bid, and will be the No. 4 seed in the division. 

The Jackrabbits will take on Great Oak, while the Rams take on Arroyo in the first round. The two teams have a chance to meet in the semifinals if they win their first two matches on Saturday. 

The Jackrabbits snapped Millikan’s 15-year Moore League streak with a narrow 1-point win that came down to the final match a couple weeks ago. 

Lakewood will be the lone representative on the girls side and they will host the Division 3 dual. The Lancers will take on JW North in the first round on Saturday.
