Sailors drop opener

Newport Harbor High’s boys water polo team got off to a slow start

in the first round of play of Tru-West Cal State Memorial Cup

Invitational at Bellarmine High Friday as the host Bells recorded a 10-5

victory in San Jose.

Ross Sinclair scored twice and had two assists, and Brent Armstrong

stood out defensively with three steals, but after trailing by a 3-2

margin after one period of play, the Sailors slowly drifted out of

contention.

Harbor, unbeaten Sea View League champions, fell to 11-11 overall.
