* VOLLEYBALL: Newport Harbor High’s girls volleyball team welcomed

back senior setter Kellie King with a 25-11, 25-22, 25-22 Sea View

League victory over host Laguna Hills Thursday.

King, who didn’t play in a three-game win over Irvine Tuesday,

tallied 12 assists and three digs in limited action Thursday while

still nursing a torn ligament in her right middle finger.

“It will probably hurt her all season and we put her in the back

row so she couldn’t hurt it more on a block or anything like that,”

Newport Coach Dan Glenn said. “She did a good job.”

Glenn also offered praise to key serving by Kiley Hall and Lauren

Miller, who had five and four ace serves, respectively.

Hall added four kills while Miller and Taryn Tarnutzer each

slammed six kills for Newport (11-4, 4-0 in league). Senior Alyson

Jennings had a team-high 17 assists and five digs.

The Sailors, No. 2 in CIF Southern Section Division II-AA, will

host Woodbridge (9-9, 3-1), ranked seventh in Division II-A, at 5:15

p.m. Tuesday in a key league match.
