CdM wins flip, hosts Notre Dame, at Estancia

Corona del Mar High’s boys basketball was the winner Sunday in a

coin flip for home court advantage in Tuesday night’s CIF Division III-AA

quarterfinals game with Notre Dame of Sherman Oaks, and although the game

will be at a neutral site (Estancia High), it’s hardly neutral for Corona

del Mar, which has considered Estancia its home-away-from-home for some

time now.

Newport Harbor (18-8), meanwhile, lost its coin flip and will have to

travel to Brea Olinda (21-6) for its second-round matchup with the Orange

League champion.

In girls hoops Wednesday, No. 3-seeded Harvard-Westlake was a coin

flip winner and will host Corona del Mar (22-5) in the quarterfinals of

Division III-AA play.

Costa Mesa, which had won twice on the road, is an automatic host for

its III-AA quarterfinal match with No. 2-seeded Bishop Montgomery.

In Division III-AA soccer, Corona del Mar’s girls and Estancia’s boys

both lost coin flips and will be on the road in Wednesday’s games.

Corona del Mar takes its No. 2-seed credentials to St. Paul, while

Estancia puts its No. 2-seed reputation on the line at Orange Lutheran.

In water polo, Corona del Mar is an automatic home team against No.

3-seed Rosary Tuesday afternoon.
