(3) L.A. Fairfax (27-5) at (2) Compton Dominguez (30-3)
DIVISION II
Mission Hills (25-7) at (1) Santa Ana Mater Dei (32-1): Taylor Darby and his Mission Hills teammates will be decided underdogs. Mater Dei, the state's No. 3-ranked team, is led by the Wear brothers, Travis and David, twin 6-10 centers who average 16.5 points.
(3) Hoover (27-6) at Fresno Edison (27-4): The young Cardinals, led by Corey Trisby, battle an Edison team that has won 18 straight. The Tigers have four players 6-6 or taller.
DIVISION III
(4) La Jolla (24-8) at (1) Santa Margarita (27-5): The joy ride continues for the scrappy Vikings, led by Western League Player of the Year Peter Sefton and guard Jerrell Agnew. Santa Margarita has lost twice to Dominguez, twice to Mater Dei and once to Campbell Hall.

DIVISION IV
Bakersfield Garces (23-8) at (1) N. Hollywood Campbell Hall (28-5)
Fresno San Joaquin Memorial (25-8) vs. Horizon (22-10): This game will be played at Mission Bay High. Two years ago, 7-foot Jeff Withey and his Panthers teammates denied heavily favored San Joaquin Memorial a shot at a state title. Always quick with great shooters, San Joaquin Memorial's tallest player is 6-5.
DIVISION V
(4) Foothills Christian (23-9) at (1) L.A. Price (25-5): Price has dominated this division this decade and, like nearly every Foothills opponent, will be taller. Troy Leaf and Kaleb Hatcher once again will try to counter with lots of three-point field goals.
Reedley Immanuel Christian (25-5) at La Canada Renaissance (25-3)

Anaheim Magnolia (25-6) at Fontana Summit (29-2)
DIVISION IV
Inglewood St. Mary's (26-7) at (1) La Jolla Country Day (24-5): The Belles have won eight in a row and would like to make the Torreys their second San Diego Section victim after downing Bishop's. Coach Terri Bamford's team, though, is getting balanced scoring in support of Janae Fulcher and Dominique Conners.
Bakersfield Garces (24-3) at L.A. Marlborough (24-5)
DIVISION V
L.A. View Park (25-5) at (1) San Luis Obispo Mission Prep (25-4)
