Due to COVID protocol and restrictions from the California Department of Public Health limiting attendance, CIF officials were unable to hold championships at central locations as in past years, so there are five games involving Orange County teams at different high school gymnasiums throughout Southern California.

Fans ordered tickets through the GOFAN app and sellout crowds are expected at the gymnasiums.

In an all-Orange County match-up, Fullerton is playing at Garden Grove in the 4AA title game. Garden Grove is trying to secure its first CIF title.

In Division 1, JSerra hosts St. Bernard. JSerra won the CIF 4AA title in 2014, defeating Oaks Christian 83-62 at Azusa Pacific University. in Division 2A San Juan Hills is seeking its first title when it plays at La Mirada.

In Division 3AA, Dana Hills is playing on the road against Bishop Diego and in Division 4A, Western is playing at Dos Pueblos. The Pioneers are out to bring home their first CIF title.

All the teams involved in the finals along with the squads who reached the semifinals, advance into the state tournament beginning next week.
