Prep softball: Five Sailors honored

Newport Harbor High junior shortstop Athena Vasquez and junior

pitcher Kim Moore have been selected first-team All-Sea View League by

the circuit’s softball coaches.

In addition, juniors Shelby Crisp, Sabrina Couch and Amanda Campbell

represent the Sailors on the second team.

Vasquez, a second-team choice the last two springs, continued to

dazzle defensively, while also acting as an offensive catalyst, primarily

in the leadoff spot.

Moore, who starred in the circle and also contributed with the bat,

pitched the Sailors to a league triumph over Irvine, ending the school’s

38-game league losing streak on the field.

Crisp, a first baseman whose bat control made her a valuable weapon in

the No. 2 spot, was also a second-team choice last spring.

Couch added to a sound Sailor infield at second base, while Campbell

batted cleanup and handled catching duties for Coach Jess Martinson’s

unit.

Junior pitcher Brittany Fait and junior second baseman Dominque

Lastrapes, who led Laguna Hills to its first Sea View title, are Co-MVPs.
