High school gymnasiums throughout Southern California are expected to be packed again for Tuesday’s Southern California Regional basketball finals as five Orange County teams go for titles and a trip to the state finals this weekend.

High school fans, including student groups at Crean Lutheran (the Blue Zone), Foothill, Garden Grove and San Juan Hills have had some fun cheering on their teams. Many fans have been very much a part of the post-season with their enthusiastic support.

Crowds haven’t just showed up at home games either. Santa Ana High School’s girls team had a large following for its CIF semifinal round game against Price of Los Angeles and Edison’s boys basketball team had a big turnout following the Chargers for Saturday’s quarterfinals at Los Altos.
