The Los Osos and King girls tennis teams did not square off during the regular season this year, but the Inland powerhouses could cross paths in the CIF Southern Section playoffs.

For the second straight season, Los Osos was not selected to compete in the Open Division (eight teams) and instead picked up the No. 1 seed in the Division 1 bracket. The Grizzlies (12-0), champions of the Baseline League, received an opening-round bye and will host Arcadia (16-2) or Foothill Tech (47) in a second-round match Friday afternoon.

Los Osos advanced to the Division 1 championship match last season, but dropped a 10-8 decision to Tesoro.

King is the No. 4 seed in the Division 1 bracket and would face Los Osos in the semifinals if both teams reach that round. The Wolves (21-1), champions of the Big VIII League, also received a first-round bye and will host University (13-3) or Oak Park (15-3 in a second-round match Friday.
