Santa Margarita is on the verge of winning its first Trinity League basketball championship under coach Justin Bell.

An 87-75 victory over Mater Dei on Monday night puts the Eagles at 21-5 and 7-2. Santa Margarita ends its regular season Tuesday against winless Servite, and a win would mean the Eagles will either take the title outright or share it with St. John Bosco (7-2) depending on the Braves' game with JSerra on Tuesday.

The arrival of junior guard Kaiden Bailey this season has made a huge difference for Santa Margarita. He scored 22 points and senior Dallas Washington had 21 points. The Eagles withstood a Mater Dei comeback attempt in the fourth quarter. Luke Barnett had 21 points for the Monarchs.
