We’ve reached that exciting time of year when the air gets a little crisper and the CIF-Southern Section releases its basketball playoff divisions.

If you aren’t familiar, each year CIF-SS updates its divisions for purposes of the playoffs. Teams are grouped based on a combination of enrollment and previous performance. Like most things involving the CIF-SS it’s a little convoluted, but you can read all about the process here.
