The 2023 CIF Southern Section-Ford girls’ volleyball playoffs got underway last week in the nine divisional single-elimination tournament conducted at designated host sites around Southern California. Again this year, no local teams competed at the Division 1 level, but plenty of local programs got to put their hard work to the test throughout the rest of the bracket.
While there are no easy draws in the playoffs, a few area teams find themselves still in the hunt for a CIF-SS title after second round action concluded Saturday, Oct. 21. As it stands, at the time of this article going to print, Quarterfinal action begins Wednesday, Oct. 25, with five local programs preparing to extend their seasons.
Here are the updates for the CIF Southern Section girls’ volleyball playoff brackets. Start times are set for 6 p.m. with dates, times, and locations being subject to change.
