There is some CIF playoff history between Lakewood and Bishop Amat, which square off in the quarterfinals of the Pac-5 Divison on Friday at Lakewood.

And for the most part, it's been Amat dominating that history.

In the 1970 CIF title game, Lakewood lost, 18-17, to a Bishop Amat team led by Pat Haden and John McKay Jr. Since then, they have played in eight other playoff games with Lakewood winning only once - 31-12 in 1982 in the first round.

Since then, it's all been Amat.

1983: Amat 14-7 in OT in the second round.
1985: Amat 27-10 in first round
1987: Amat 35-7 in first round
1990: Amat 31-13 in first round
1993: Amat 37-6 in first round
1997: Amat 13-3 in first round
2003: Amat 35-18 in first round

Will Bishop Amat keep up its dominance of lakewood on Friday, or will Lakewood turn it around and begin to even the series up?

The CIF State Volleyball pairings were just released and they weren't necessarily kind to the three - yes, three - local teams.

First-round games are Tuesday, second round Saturday and the SoCal Regional championship matches Dec. 1. The State title matches are Dec. 5 at UC Irvine's Bren Center.

Los Alamitos, the Division IAA runner-up, will travel to top-seeded and Division IA champ Dos Pueblos on Tuesday in a Division I match.

Cerritos, the Division IIIA runner-up, will go to No. 3-seeded and Central Section champ Tehachapi in the first round in a Division III match.

Also getting in to the Division III field was Warren, which fell eventual Division IIIAA champ Los Altos in the semifinals, received the final berth and will play at top-seeded and San Diego champ Cathedral Catholic in the first round.
