California State High School Championships

Posted in

It was a busy weekend for the Newport Harbor water polo teams.  Both boys and girls varsity squads saw action in the three day California State High School Championships.  And both team achieved a 3rd place finish for the weekend.

The boys played without starters Farrel South and Chris Whitelegge, who were in Italy playing with the USA '93 Junior National Team (the team took 2nd place in an 8-nation tournament).  

In addition, attacker David Jorth missed games due to a serious eye injury suffered in the opening game on Friday.  Even though there was still swelling and pressure on his right eye, Davey returned to action on Sunday and scored in both games.

Goalie Koby Yokota was the focus of Sunday's Daily Pilot sports section, which also featured photos of Curtis Fink, Luke Ronaldson and Daniel Stevens.  The extensive article highlighted Koby's remarkable play in the tournament as well as the broad scoring attack which featured five players with two goals each.  

The teams now focus on the upcoming Junior Olympics which start for the boys next weekend.
