No. 3 Calabasas (24-2) is seeded third in Division IV and will host Fillmore on Friday.

In softball, No. 1 Thousand Oaks (23-3) is seeded second behind Santa Ana Foothill in Division I and could face Marmonte League rival No. 4 Simi Valley in the second round. Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley (20-7) and No. 3 Camarillo (18-7) will all compete in Region III, and for the first time since 1991, only three Marmonte League teams made the playoffs. No. 9 Newbury Park (18-8) was left out after being ranked fifth in Division III on May 5.
