Alumni return for Harbor hoops

The third annual Newport Harbor High alumni basketball tournament

will tip off July 19. The tournament is open to all Harbor alumni.

Interested players may form their own teams or will be placed in a

group the day of the event.

Cost is $25 for players who pre-register, $35 at the door. Price

includes a T-shirt with the remaining proceeds benefiting the

school’s boys basketball booster club.

Each team is guaranteed three games, with first-round contests

lasting 15 minutes while using a running clock. Subsequent games will

take 20 minutes.

Jamie Holmes, Class of ’73 and tournament director, expects to

have 50 to 60 participants, about the same as last year.

Larry Hirst, Harbor’s boys basketball head coach, along with

assistants Bob Torribio and Bryan Cottriel, John Murray, Rich

Yardley, Greg Perrine, Dane Louvier and Brian Freeman are the

defending champions.

Interested players may call Holmes at (949) 463-7913 to obtain a

registration form.
