The CIF's North Coast Section playoffs have hit the semifinals in all seven divisions of its  2025 girls basketball brackets.

All six teams in the Open Division advance to the CIF Northern Regional championships next week and three teams from all other divisions advance.

Check out all of the quarterfinal scores below in all seven divisions.

The rest of the divisions feature will send the top three placers to the regional. This season, a third-place game between semifinal losers will decide the third spot. Those should be exciiting games, perhaps more drama there than championship games.

Top seeds in each divisions are Acalanes (Open Division), Clayton Valley Charter (Division 1), Justin-Siena (D2), St. Bernard's (D3), Encinal (D4), Cloverdale (D5) and Ferndale (D6).

Defending champions are Cardinal Newman (Open Division), Salesian (D1), Redwood (D2), Marin Catholic (D3), St. Patrick-St. Vincent (D4), San Domenico (D5) and San Francisco Waldorf (D6).

Below are the links to each North Coast Section 2025 brackets by division and a Pick 'Em link that allows you to predict every game throughout the two-week tournament. Quarterfinal scores are also included.
