The Breakers opened their Division 4-A CIF run this past Thursday on the road at Dominguez High School ( 16- 12 ) in Compton . The Don ’ s were the Mid-Cities League co-champions with Gahr in a 6-team league that includes Norwalk , Bellflower , and La Mirada and based on the computer ratings , Laguna entered as the favorite .
Should the Breakers prevail – the second round would be Feb . 11 , against either Quartz Hill or at home versus Valley Christian / Santa Maria . The quarterfinals are slated for Feb . 15 .
Last week , the regular season concluded with a 43-35 home loss to league champion Edison .
