With the high school girls volleyball regular season officially over, teams are now gearing up for postseason play, including teams from the TRAC.

Clovis North, with a record of 38-3, unsurprisingly received the nod to be the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament and will have a first-round bye, awaiting the winner of Bakersfield versus Centennial.

The No. 5 seed Clovis Cougars, with a record of 27-15 will host the 11-27, No. 12-seed Clovis East Timberwolves. The winner will face the No. 4 overall seed Clovis West Golden Eagles, which also have a bye.

No. 6 seed Buchanan hosts No. 11 Garces, with the winner to face Arroyo Grande in the second round.

No. 10 Central will travel to face No. 7 Exeter.

The CIF Central Section playoffs officially begin on Oct. 31, and matches will also be held Nov. 5, 7 and 9.
