The Eagles have remained one of the country\u2019s nationally ranked teams this season and with the talent they have dotted along the roster, it\u2019s easy to see why Santa Margarita Catholic is highly regarded. The Eagles have the likes of talents\u00a0Kaiden Bailey<\/a>\u00a0(Georgia Tech signee),\u00a0Brayden Kyman<\/a>\u00a0(Washington State commitment) and\u00a0Drew Anderson<\/a>\u00a0(Oregon State commit).
