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.
