The CIF Southern Section playoffs have begun for the local high school baseball and softball teams as well as boys’ tennis, boys’ volleyball, girls’ beach volleyball, boys’ and girls’ lacrosse, boys’ golf, plus there is a whole bunch of track field going on out there. There were some great wins this past week, and there were also some tough losses. The postseason is littered with talent, and it only seems fitting that in order to call themselves a CIF champion, it’s win or go home. Here are scores and updates for teams that competed last week, as well as for those that are still in the hunt to be the last one standing:
