Bailes, a senior transfer from St. Augustine, dropped 31 points in the title game against Redondo Union.
Get ready for yet another big year from JSerra boys basketball. Despite graduating impact seniors such as BJ Davis-Ray and Grayson Sinek, the Lions look like a CIF-Southern Section Open Division playoff team once again.
With returning senior Brannon Martinsen and St. Augustine senior transfer Jaiden Bailes leading the way, JSerra handled fellow CIF-SS Open Division team Redondo Union 69-56 to cap off a title run at California Live 2025 in the Grip Spritz bracket. Bailes had 31 points, six rebounds, three assists, and two steals, and Martinsen added 11 points.

Bailes received an offer from Cal right after the tournament.
