Santa Margarita Stuns No. 5 Mater Dei 7-6 as Palmer Earns Signature Win

The Eagles ended a 12-year drought against the Monarchs, tightening the Trinity League race.

Overview

  • USC commit Trent Mosley punched in a direct-snap touchdown with 5:06 left to secure the lead.
  • Tulane commit Trace Johnson set up the score with a 59-yard strike to freshman Adrian Petero after throwing two interceptions.
  • Mater Dei was limited to roughly 175 yards as Santa Margarita’s defense under coordinator Steve Fifita dictated a turnover-filled game.

  • Santa Margarita improved to 2-0 in Trinity League play while handing Mater Dei its second loss of the season.
