Division 1: Fourth-seed St. Mary's of Stockton, like Mitty, down even longer without its best player, one of the nation's top sophomores Kori Rogers (season-ending injury), moved into the section finals with a 61-48 win over ninth-seed Piedmont, and now faces third-seed Carondelet, a 64-46 winner over Cardinal Newman.

Division 2: Top-seed Caruthers (24-6) moved into the championship game with a 64-41 win over California and now hosts sixth-seed Salesian (23-10), a 61-51 winner at Sierra Pacific.

Division 3: Justin-Siena (30-3) has been nearly perfect all season and Saturday was for once an underdog. The fourth-seeded squad from Napa defeated top seed Immanuel, 48-43, and now takes on third-seed Marin Catholic (24-11), a 50-36 winner over Moreau Catholic.

Division 4: Ninth-seed Lowell (21-7), from San Francisco's only public league, reached the finals with a 39-31 win over Castilleja, and now faces second-seed Half Moon Bay (22-7), a 58-40 home winner over Rio Linda.

Division 5: Fourth-seed and host Encinal (22-9) eliminated Washington of San Francisco, 59-37, and now faces Woodland Christian (29-6), a 46-39 winner over Head-Royce.
