Santa Barbara High has been a major thorn in the side of the Buena and Ventura girls' basketball teams this season.
Both teams have suffered Channel League losses against the Dons, including Ventura's 52-51 loss last night on a free throw by Jackie Kerns with 0.7 seconds remaining.
It marks the first time Santa Barbara (20-5, 6-1) has defeated Buena (16-8, 5-1) and Ventura (21-3, 4-2) in the same season since 2003, and makes the Channel League race much more interesting entering the final week.
Buena and Ventura meet on Monday night at Buena High. If Ventura beats Buena, Santa Barbara will claim at least a share of its first Channel League title since 1988.
If Buena wins, it will come down to Wednesday night's winner-take-all showdown between Buena and Santa Barbara at Buena High in the final regular-season game.
