Cypress took a lengthy road trip to Oxnard for its CIF-Southern Section Division 2 quarterfinal playoff game, which Cypress won, 9-0.
The Centurions hit the road again for the semifinals. They lost the coin flip that decided the home team for their Division 2 semifinal against Vista Murrieta. Cypress will journey 64 miles to play at Vista Murrieta High on Tuesday.
When two teams meet after the first round of the playoffs, the team with the fewest number of playoff home games at that point of the playoffs is the home team. If the teams have played the same number of playoff home games, a coin flip identifies the home team.
