Semifinal sites we have thus far, as of Wednesday at noon ...
But first, an explanation.
Semifinal playoff games are played at alternate sites. An alternate site, selected by the home team with approval of the CIF-Southern Section office, is a gym at which the home team does not practice. It is not a "neurtral" site. For example, there is not much that is "neutral" about Marina-Thousand Oaks being up at Westlake High. Nothing wrong with that. If I'm the home team, you bet I am making the visiting team take the longest trip possible.
Anyway, here are the semifinal sites we have, with updates to come ...
