All-league honorees

Three standouts from Costa Mesa High and one from Estancia have been

named first-team All-Golden West League by the circuit’s girls

volleyball coaches.

Seniors Jackie Havens and Lindsey Navarette, as well as junior

Tracy Bjelland, represent the Mustangs on the first team.

Estancia’s first-team honoree is senior Hillary Larson.

Senior Vera Gale and sophomore Danielle Morton, both from Costa

Mesa, as well as Estancia sophomores Jaye Hellmich and Stacie Watson

are second-team selections.

Havens, a four-year varsity performer, is a repeat first-team

honoree. The Mustangs’ setter who earned Newport-Mesa Dream Team

laurels as a junior, was second-team all-league as a sophomore.

Larson, an outside hitter, is also a repeat first-team pick, while

Navarette, also an outside hitter, was a second-team performer in

2003.

Bjelland, an outside hitter, helped Mesa finish third in league

and advance to the CIF Southern Section Division III-A playoffs.

The Mustangs were defeated by Nordhoff in the first round and

finished 9-6.

Watson, a setter, helped Estancia finish 8-9 this fall. She earned

second-team honors last season, as well.

Hellmich was a middle blocker for the Eagles, while Gale and

Morton played the same position for Costa Mesa.

Hayley Hanson, a junior setter from Ocean View, and Daniela Sosa,

a senior outside hitter from Santa Ana, shared league MVP honors.
