Boys’ basketball: Birmingham-Chino Hills playoff opener will be played at Colony

Ontario Colony, which has a seating capacity close to 3,000, will be the site for Friday night’s Southern California Regional Open Division basketball opener between Birmingham and Chino Hills. Game time is 7 p.m.

Chino Hills wanted to play in its gym, where the seating capacity is listed as 1,316. Because of the Huskies’ growing fan base, the CIF suggested another site.

General admisssion tickets go on sale Friday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Chino Hills stadium ticket booth.
