Girls year-enders: Solo flexing
COSTA MESA - It’d be an exaggeration, of course, but one might best
sum up the 1999-00 Estancia High girls athletic year in two words: Lauren
Cassity.
The talented senior starred for the basketball team, led the volleyball
team and pulled double duty in the spring to contribute in softball and
swimming.
Cassity’s athleticism and competitiveness prompted Pacific Coast League
hoops coaches to select her Co-Most Valuable Player after leading the
Eagles to a surprising second-place finish. She averaged 12.5 poings and
spurred an eight-game winning streak late in the season, halted by a
second-round loss in the CIF playoffs.
She was also second-team all-league in volleyball.
Junior Liz Huipe had noteworthy campaigns in cross country and track and
field to top a handful of other individual standouts. After setting a
school record (17:57) at league cross country finals, she was fourth in
CIF Division IV, then ninth in her second straight trip to the state
meet. She was second in the 1,600 and fourth in the 3,200 at league
finals this spring.
Senior Becca Silva (soccer) and sophomore Erika Avalos (basketball) were
first-team All-PCL, while senior Meghan Fey (soccer), seniors Helen
Flores and Debra Wyman (softbal), juniors Zuyin Barrera and Lisa Hirata
(basketball), were second-team all-leaguers.
Sophomore Hanni Geider won the PCL title at 100 meters and her twin
sister Jasmine was second. They were also second and third in the 200.
