CITYWIDE — The end of the line has come for the two final Santa Monica-based girls' basketball teams in the playoffs.

Both St. Monica and Pacifica Christian were eliminated from the postseason on Wednesday.

St. Monica fell to St. Joseph, 63-51, at home in CIF-Southern Section Division 4A.

Pacifica Christian was bounced by St. Pius/St. Mathias, 45-36, at Crossroads High School in Division 5A play.

Both games were quarter-finals.

With the loss, St. Monica was denied in their bid to repeat as champions in the division.

**Life beyond high school**

Santa Monica High School's athletic department is hosting a special seminar on March 3 at 7 p.m. in the cafeteria.

The event, Guiding the College Bound Athlete, will give student athletes a taste of what to expect when they move on to higher education.

Rick Wire, president of Dynamite Sports, will be the featured speaker.

**Back on the diamond**

Samohi's baseball team opens the season Saturday against San Fernando at home.

The game is scheduled for 11 a.m.

Samohi finished last season 20-11 overall and 10-0 in the Ocean League before being ousted in the first round of the playoffs by Knight.
