Boys golf: Tars close strongly

SACRAMENTO - The Newport Harbor High boys golf team bounced back

from a frustrating opening day to finish strongly Saturday at the two-day

Jesuit Tournament.

Coach Jim Warren’s Sailors shot 397 over 18 holes Friday at the Allister

McKenzie Golf Course, but shot 385 as a team Saturday on the tougher

Ansel Hoffman course.

Newport senior Jake Allanach, who aced the 186-yard, par-3 No. 8 hole

Friday, finished 9-over (153), as did senior teammate Scott Tippett, for

the tournament.

Kevin Olson had the third-best score for the Sailors (154), followed by

Traighe Concannon (158) and Daniel Kush (159).

Peter Watson (165) and Mitch Johns (169) also represented the Sailors.

Newport faces Sea View League visitor Laguna Hills Tuesday at Big Canyon

Country Club, is in a tournament Wednesday at El Prado, then visits

league rival Woodbridge Thursday at Rancho San Joaquin as the regular

season begins to wind down.
