Barton earns All-American honor

Daric Barton, who graduated from Marina High in June, was recently

named to the 2003 Student Sports All-America High School Baseball

first-team.

Barton, a first-round draft choice by the St. Louis Cardinals, was

one of three county players named to the first team and was a key

figure in Marina’s march to the 2003 CIF Southern Section Division I

baseball championship in June.

Ian Stewart of La Quinta and El Dorado’s Jeff Flaig also were

named first-team.
