Also making appearances in the event with be No. 2 Rancho Christian (vs. Camden of New Jersey Saturday and Hyattsville, MD, DeMatha on Monday) and No. 6 Mater Dei (vs. Arlington, VA, O’Connell Monday).

In significant games this week, relative to the CIF Southern Section Open Division’s eventual makeup and seedings, Mater Dei visits No. 9 St. John Bosco (Friday) in the Trinity League; No. 4 Etiwanda plays host to No. 17 Damien (Friday) in the Baseline League; No. 16 is at home to No. 7 Saint Anthony (Wednesday) in the Del Rey League; and No. 10 Windward visits No. 12 Heritage Christian in a non-league clash.
