Here’s a rundown on all the SF Valley/North regional boys’ basketball teams that are contending or have already clinched their respective league titles. Many teams completed league play on Wednesday:
AGAPE -- Antelope Valley Christian needs to beat Victor Valley Christian to guarantee itself a postseason berth.
ALPHA -- Cerritos Valley Christian has already clinched the title and L.A. Baptist can take sole possession of second place with a victory Thursday over Whittier Christian.
CHANNEL -- No challengers for league champions Dos Pueblos. San Marcos and Ventura advance to the postseason, but the Royals will get the league’s No. 2 playoff seeding. Santa Barbara has 12 wins and could petition for at-large berth.
CONDOR -- Thacher has clinched the league title. It looks as if Cate and Besant Hill are playoff bound.
DELPHIC -- Paraclete, the only regional representative, will finish last.
FOOTHILL -- Valencia will take the title with a victory over Canyon on Friday; Saugus still in hunt; West Ranch will clinch first playoff berth with victory over Golden Valley on Thursday.
FRONTIER -- St. Bonaventure has clinched title outright, even though it lost to second-place Malibu on Wednesday.
GOLDEN -- Looks as if Highland and Knight will be co-league champions if everything go as expected on Friday. Lancaster’s three-game losing streak has pushed it to third, and Antelope Valley has also clinched a playoff berth.
HERITAGE -- Milken has wrapped up the league title and Faith Baptist and Hillcrest Christian are second and third.
LIBERTY -- Holy Martyrs and Buckley could finish as co-champions, depending on the outcome of Friday’s games. Viewpoint will finish third if Buckley beats Yeshiva.
LOS PADRES -- St. Joseph clinched the league title. Lompoc could tie Morro Bay for second with a victory over St. Joseph on Friday.
MARMONTE -- Simi Valley has title and can go undefeated in league with victory over Royal on Friday. Thousand Oaks, Westlake and Agoura are going to the playoffs.
MISSION -- Loyola clinched its eventh league title in eight seasons with a victory over Chaminade on Wednesday. Harvard-Westlake, Crespi and Verbum Dei are also playoff-bound.
OLYMPIC -- Campbell Hall has the title and is considered a heavy favorite for state Division IV championship. Windward is second and Montclair Prep has practically clinched third (unless you think Brentwood has a chance against Campbell Hall on Friday).
OMEGA -- Newbury Park Adventist has clinched the title. Ventura County Christian, First Lutheran and Westmark have clinched playoff berths.
PAC-7 -- Righetti took the title and San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles have qualified for the playoffs.
PACIFIC -- Pasadena has another league title, but there’s a four-way logjam between Burroughs, Glendale, Hoover and Crescenta Valley for second place and playoff positioning. We won’t know until Friday who’s in the playoffs.
PACIFIC VIEW -- Oxnard went unchallenged in winning the title. Camarillo and Channel Islands will join the Yellowjackets in the postseason.
SANTA FE -- St. Genevieve finished second behind Salesian and is the only regional playoff representative. Bell-Jeff could make it as a wild-card selection, though.
TRI-VALLEY -- Oak Park shares its seventh straight title with Santa Clara. Oaks Christian finished third.
WESTSIDE -- Highland Hall, Tarbut V’Torah and New Community have clinched postseason berths.
