Division 1
The top local squad is St. Anthony (18-9), and at-large selection out of the Del Rey League. The Saints are on the road to start the postseason, visiting the Oaks Christian Lions (18-7), who finished second in the Marmonte League.
The Saints started the 2025-26 season really well, going 13-2 out of the gate, before running into the gauntlet that is the Del Rey League schedule. The Lions have won seven of their last eight games entering the postseason.
Division 4
The Jordan Panthers (19-8) enter the playoffs as the top seed in Division 4, and are in a solid groove recently. J-Town has won five in a row and 11 of its last 12 to close the regular season strong, snagging a share of the Moore League title along the way.
They’ll host the Roosevelt Mustangs (12-19) who finished third in the Big VIII League. Since Jordan is without a home gym this season, their playoff opener will be hosted at Browning High in Signal Hill.
On the other half of the bracket, the Wilson Bruins (20-8) were also given a home game as the No. 3 seed from the Moore League. They’ll host Hesperia (18-8) in Thursday’s first round. The Scorpions were second in the Mojave River League and won 10 of their last 12 games to close out the regular season.
Division 5
The Moore League co-champions from Lakewood (16-11) are on the road in the D5 playoffs. The Lancers will visit Sunny Hills (17-12) in their playoff opener, in an all-Lancers battle.
Sunny Hills went 4-8 over their final 12 games but earned an at-large playoff berth out of the Freeway League.
Division 7
Long Beach Poly (9-17) enters the D7 bracket as the fourth-place team from the Moore League. The Jackrabbits will need to hit the road to Inglewood for their playoff opener against St. Mary’s Academy (13-13).
The Belles are an at-large selection from the Camino Real League.
