Just in time for the rain, the brackets for the 32-team Southern California Showdown that begins on March 4 and sponsored by Easton have come out.

Pool A: Alemany, Palmdale, Westlake, Saugus. Pool B: Kennedy, Agoura, Chaminade, Rio Mesa. Pool C: Chatsworth, Santa Monica, Thousand Oaks, Loyola. Pool D: El Camino Real, Oaks Christian, Lancaster, Crespi. Pool E: Moorpark, Cleveland, Dos Pueblos, Hart. Pool F: Camarillo, Ventura, Calabasas, Harvard-Westlake. Pool G: Buena, Simi Valley, Valencia, St. Francis. Pool H: Burbank Burroughs, West Ranch, Quartz Hill, St. Bonaventure.

The tournament is loaded with likely top 25 teams. I’d say Alemany, Chaminade, Camarillo, Moorpark, Chatsworth, Valencia and West Ranch are the favorites.
