Prep football: Manderino, Saenz earn top Sea View honors

Newport Harbor High seniors Chris Manderino and Alan Saenz, who led

the Sailors to the CIF Southern Section Division VI championship

football game, headline a list of 13 Tars named All-Sea View League by

the circuit’s coaches.

Manderino, a 6-foot-1, 205-pound tailback who also played linebacker,

is the Offensive Player of the Year. He rushed for 2,141 yards and scored

a Newport-Mesa District single-season record 31 touchdowns.

Saenz, a 6-2, 260-pound middle linebacker, who led his team in tackles

for a second straight season, shares Defensive Player of the Year honors

with Irvine safety Joe Bollard, who helped lead the league champion

Vaqueros to the CIF Division VI crown.

Representing Newport on the first-team offense are tackles Scott

Lopez, a senior, and Robert Chai, a junior, as well as junior receiver

Brian Gaeta. Gaeta caught 62 passes this fall.

Harbor senior ends Garrett Troncale and Ian Banigan are members of the

first-team defense, while senior punter Duke Burchell is also a

first-teamer.

Manderino, Saenz and Troncale were first-team selections a year ago.

Representing Newport Harbor on the second team are: senior fullback

Travis Trimble; junior offensive guard Bryan Breland; senior outside

linebacker Andy Rankin; senior noseguard C.J. Collins; and senior

defensive tackle Nick Moghaddam.

The coaches use a formula which allows them to designate a certain

number of players, regardless of position, to the first and second teams,

based on the league standings. Hence, there are a disproportionate amount

of defense players recognized this season.
