Chino Hills received the No. 1 seed for the Division IV regional playoffs after winning the CIF Southern Section’s Division 5 championship. The Huskies host No. 8-seeded North Hollywood in a first-round game Tuesday afternoon. North Hollywood won the LA City Section’s Division 1 championship. Chino Hills will have home-field advantage throughout the regional playoffs as long as it wins.
