SHADOWLANDS

Looking back, 5 years ago this week.

12. Anderson and Grogan also grab 10 rebounds each. The victory sets up

the Mustangs to earn a 40-39 win over crosstown rival Estancia. The lead

changes seven times in the fourth quarter as Anderson scores an

awkward-looking left-handed hook shot for the gamewinner with 29 seconds

Sailors’ Brad Lim pins Sea King Ross Savage, 35 seconds into the match.

CdM’s Brad Guzman, however, records the fastest pin of the night when he

covers his opponent just 14 seconds into the match. Sea Kings Brian

Kramer, Tyler Moleway and Charles Gellman each pin their rivals.

Newport Harbor has the bragging rights after a 69-40 girls basketball

triumph over Back Bay rival Corona del Mar. The host Sailors break away

a game-high 15 points. Sailors Colleen Eadie (14 points) and Breanna

Badorek (11) also score in double figures. Lindsay Warmington leads the

Sea Kings with 14 points and Jennifer Gardner scores nine.

later when Harbor senior Ashley Lewis cashes in a goal. Sailors senior

Jill Nelsen scores the eventual gamewinner, 10 minutes later.

Looking back, 10 years ago this week.

The Estancia High boys basketball team dominates in a 66-33 victory

seven.

Corona del Mar’s boys basketball team nearly wins, but falls in a

69-67 overtime loss to host Woodbridge. The Sea Kings lead, 58-50 with 56

seconds left in regulation, but two Warriors’ three-pointers, the second

with three seconds left, helped Woodbridge knot the game at 60 at the end

of regulation. CdM’s Doug Hesse scores a game-high 24 points. His

teammate, Jon Upham, finishes with 23 points and 11 rebounds.

It takes two overtimes, but the Newport Harbor boys basketball team

pulls out a 60-56 win at Saddleback. Steve Walker saves the Tars in

regulation and Michael Stipe’s three-pointer ignites a Newport run in the

second overtime to lead to victory. Huy Nguyen scores a game-high 21

points and Justin McIntee chips in with 13. Stipe finishes with 10

points.

The Southern California College (now Vanguard University) men’s

basketball team rolls to a 100-86 victory over host Azusa Pacific. The

seven assists. Mike West scores 12 points and grabs 12 rebounds. Mike

Hanjum finishes with 14 points and Elbert Davis scores 13.

1-1 tie to Woodbridge. The visiting Sea Kings are 6-0-1 in the Sea View

League after Stefanie Hughes scores a goal. CdM junior Lisa Boatman, the

the team in goals with 14.
