California (CIF) North Coast Section high school girls basketball playoff brackets updates, matchups (2/21/25)
The CIF’s North Coast Section has unveiled its 2025 girls basketball brackets in seven divisions on Sunday.
One round of play is in the books. Check out all the first-round winners below.
The playoffs began Tuesday in three divisions (D1, D3, D5), continued Wednesday with first-round games in three more divisions (D2, D4, D6) and finally first-rouond games began Thursday in the coveted 6-team Open Division bracket.
The top teams move to the Open and all of those teams advance to the Northern California regional in two weeks regardless of NCS results.
The rest of the divisions feature 12-16 teams and the top three placers advance to the regional. This season, a third-place game between semifinal losers will decide the third spot. Those should be exciiting games, perhaps more drama there than championship games.
Top seeds in each divisions are Acalanes (Open Division), Clayton Valley Charter (Division 1), Justin-Siena (D2), St. Bernard’s (D3), Encinal (D4), Cloverdale (D5) and Ferndale (D6).
Defending champions are Cardinal Newman (Open Division), Salesian (D1), Redwood (D2), Marin Catholic (D3), St. Patrick-St. Vincent (D4), San Domenico (D5) and San Francisco Waldorf (D6).
Below are the links to each North Coast Section 2025 brackets by division and a Pick ‘Em link that allows you to predict every game throughout the two-week tournament. First-round scores are also below.
