It is drained by the Santa Ana River. It is bordered on the north by the San Bernardino Mountains and the eastern San Gabriel Mountains, on the east by the San Jacinto Mountains, and on the south and west at 5 p.m. The Marauders (21-8, 11-1) can win the title outright if they win out their two remaining regular-season games. They play host to Barstow on Saturday at 5 p.m. Winning the title outright, as opposed to sharing it, could have enormous implications on Southern California regional playoff seedings, coach John Taylor said. --'Huge boost': Sophomore power forward Angela Conde, who has been out three weeks with a broken left hand, could return tonight. ``It's a huge boost if she comes back,'' Taylor said. --Eliminated? The men's basketball team (12-17, 5-7) has been all but officially eliminated from playoff competition after its third consecutive loss, 72-65 Saturday to Mt. San Jacinto of Hemet. AVC has made the playoffs in each of retiring coach Newton Chelette's 16 previous years, meaning Saturday's game against Barstow will be his last.
