Sailors stun Knights

The Newport Harbor High boys golf team made a huge statement in its

Sea View League opener Monday upsetting Foothill, 198-201, in windy

conditions at Tustin Ranch Golf Club.

Sophomore Justin Moorehead paced the Sailors (3-2, 1-0 in league)

with a 1-over-par 37 to earn medalist honors.

Seniors Davis Pemstein and Rhett Palmer both shot 39, while Andrew

Skjonsby shot 41 and both Brandon Sowers and Chris Willard shot 42.

“It was a huge win for us, a good team win,” said Newport Harbor

Coach Scott Tarnow, who believes the Sailors had not beaten the

Knights for four years.

“Foothill and Aliso Niguel were both the teams to beat in our

league,” Tarnow said.
