There no doubt that year-in and year-out, Southern California’s Trinity League is one of best leagues in America.  Friday night marks the start of a grueling five week gauntlet for the league title.

Mater Dei is the only Trinity League team that came through the 2016 non-league portion of its schedule unscathed.  The 5-0 Monarchs, averaging over 55 points per game, open league play against Santa Margarita Friday night

Earlier this week, the team’s Twitter account sent-out a video that shows just how athletic the team’s wide receivers are.  Check-out the backflips by receivers Osiris and Amon-Ra St. Brown, C.J. Parks and Nikko Remigio.

Amon-Ra St. Brown leads the team with ten touchdown catches, while his brother Osiris, who is headed to Stanford, has five.  Parks also has grabbed five TD passes, while Remigio, who is second on the team with 20 catches, has once touchdown catch.
