Pilot Cup soccer: Harbor Day boys reach 5-6 semis

COSTA MESA - The Harbor Day fifth- and sixth-grade Seahawks boys

soccer team earned a 3-0 quarterfinal triumph over Newport Heights

Saturday, before falling in the semifinal, 7-0, to eventual champion Rea

Sunday at the Farm Field.

Harbor Day, without a single sixth-grader, received goals from

forwards Chase Ross, J.D. Stroud and midfielder Merrett Scott against

Newport Heights.

Midfielders Michael Bear, Eric Wright and Drew Brahs provided

outstanding passing, while solid defense was keyed by sweeper Danny

Miller, stopper Wilson Knapp, as well as fullbacks Bradley Jones and

Kevin Cox. In addition, goalie Andy Morrow posted his second shutout of

the tournament.

The team, coached by Tim Scott, is already anticipating a run at the

2003 title.
