Six Inland boys volleyball teams seeded for CIF Southern Section playoffs
The CIF Southern Section late Friday afternoon released pairings for the 2026 boys volleyball playoffs.
No Inland teams finished high enough in the final rankings to be in Division 1, but three will be competing for the Division 2 title.
Hillcrest was No. 20 in the section rankings, and the Trojans open the playoffs at home Tuesday night against Fountain Valley.
Vista Murrieta was ranked No. 22 overall, and the Broncos will travel to Arcadia for a first-round match Tuesday evening.
Beaumont checked in at No. 27 in the final rankings, and the Cougars will make the trip to Edison on Tuesday night.
