Temescal Canyon may have drawn a good first game in Burbank, which finished fourth in the Pacific League. Should the Titans advance, their second-round game will be anything but easy, as they will face the winner of the Los Altos-Redlands first-round matchup.
If Elsinore wins its first-round game at Pasadena, it will see either fourth-seeded Bonita or Jurupa Valley.
