Boys basketball: Sailors top Shorewood

SHORELINE, Wash. - Newport Harbor High senior Aaron Yarnal scored

nine of his 20 points in the fourth quarter, including 6 of 6 from the

free-throw line, to help visiting Newport Harbor win the first of three

boys basketball pool-play games, 55-51, over host Shorewood High in the

Shorewood Holiday Shootout Thursday.

Harbor junior Tony Melum added a game-high 22 for the winners (10-3),

who meet Arlington High from Washington tonight at 6.

Steve Young added five points and Jamie Diefenbach four for Coach

Larry Hirst’s Sailors.

Hirst was happy with the victory, but unhappy with his team’s

performance.

“We’re just not playing very well right now,” he said.
