Homecoming Rally

Posted on by

On Thursday the Varsity Field Hockey team kept the Homecoming Rally Dance tradition alive! They did an outstanding job performing at both Homecoming Rallies to ‘Blame it on the Pop’. Not only was Newport Harbor Field Hockey in the dance, but there were players all over the rally. Various players who are also involved with ASB were scattered throughout the ‘Grease’ themed rally – ASB President and Varsity player Mary Yeager was Sandy! And our own Sydney Dexter was crowned Sophomore princess! Great job girls!

F/S @ Pure Barre

While Varsity and JV traveled to an away game, Frosh-Soph did some traveling of their own…to a private class at Pure Barre!

The girls learned what the Pure Barre method is all about, including short sets of repetitive motions that target certain muscle groups with the use of rubber balls, mats, resistance bands, and of course, a ballet barre. Amy Brown led our team through the one-hour session, and at the end, we all agreed that it was an incredible workout, and a great strength-training alternative to practice.

Thank you so much for having us in your studio, Pure Barre!

4-PEAT?

Posted on by

There’s the phrase ‘three-peat’, but what do you call it when a team wins a title four years in a row?

Newport Harbor JV Field Hockey won the OC JV Field Hockey Tournament for the fourth year in a row yesterday at Marina High School. The girls played a full day of hockey and came out with the championship. Their first game against Bonita went to sudden death strokes and junior captain Kim Watanabe had the winning goal. JV defeated Fountain Valley and Edison to get to the finals where Taury Hlinka and Jill Messersmith each scored a goal to beat Huntington Beach 2-0. Go Newport!

Frosh/Soph also competed in the JV tournament yesterday and played very well. They held JV teams at a 0-0 score and gained experience in stroke competitions. Great job girls!
