GIRLS’ BASKETBALL : No Shocks: Woodbridge, Brea-Olinda Top Seeded

Orange County teams made it through the playoff selection process unscathed Monday. In other words, there were no surprises.

Brea-Olinda and Woodbridge, both 25-0, were the No. 1-seeded teams in their divisions.

Cypress was a No. 2.

Mater Dei, Rancho Alamitos and Costa Mesa, No. 3s.

There were unseeded teams that were happy and seeded teams that were content.

There were no problems, except for the really picky.

Despite modified playoff bracketing to reduce travel because of earthquake damage, discontent was minimal.

Brea-Olinda, gunning for its fourth-consecutive State title, opens with Fullerton (16-7) in Division III-AA, where you have to read between the lines to find the true seeded teams. Brea will probably face Torrance Bishop Montgomery, second-place in the Mission League, in the semifinals; Bishop Montgomery is a wild-card team that should play South Torrance (17-6)--technically, the fourth-seeded team--in the opening round. South Torrance won the Pioneer League.

On the other side of the bracket, Newport Harbor Coach Shannon Jakosky was ecstatic about opening against third-seeded South Pasadena (19-2) after three years of having to go through No. 1 to reach the finals. Newport Harbor (19-6), a second-place team from a tough league (Sea View), is unseeded, but is clearly the favorite advance to the semifinals against Inglewood Morningside.

Sea View champion Woodbridge will play the winner of Wednesday’s wild-card game between Trabuco Hills and Garden Grove, and would face the Rio Mesa-Villa Park winner in the II-A quarterfinals. Ocean View Coach Ollie Martin was pleased his team, seeded fourth, will play progressively better opponents leading up to Woodbridge in the semifinals.

Second-seeded Cypress (23-3) won’t face unbeaten Mission Hills Alemany (23-0) until the II-A finals, though Katella (12-8) faces Alemany in the first round.

Third-seeded Mater Dei (20-3) hosts at-large Westminster (10-15) Wednesday; the Monarchs are expected to face Oxnard Channel Islands (22-3) in the semifinals. Ventura Buena (20-2) is No. 1 in Division I-A.

Costa Mesa (16-6) is seeded third in IV-AA; Rancho Alamitos (20-6) is third in III-A.

Century (12-11) will visit Division I-A’s fourth-seeded team, San Clemente (18-5) on Wednesday.
