SCHEDULE: CIF Football Playoffs, Round 1

The CIF Southern Section playoffs are here.

Moore League champion Long Beach Poly landed in Division 3 and will travel to face Norco. Millikan, which finished second in the league after beating Wilson last week, landed in Division 7 and will open the postseason at La Cañada.

Compton, which went 4-0, will host Ramona of Riverside to open Division 9 play. Dominguez, which finished second, will host Pacifica. Compton Centennial earned an at-large bid in Division 14 and will host Pioneer.
