Celebrations in O.C. Life
A photo from the Newport Harbor Varsity Field Hockey TOC Championship was in the Daily Pilot on a page highlighting ‘2011’s Best’.
“This year our photographers were witness to many of the celebrations and victories big and small, individual and team, personal and public, that filled the pages of our Times Community newspapers. You have to be ready to capture the moment. Look away and its gone. Sometimes there’s too much, like in close games, and sometimes too little, like a couple kissing on their 50th wedding anniversary. Either way, the challenge is to capture the moment that sums up the joy.”

Post-Season Rainy Day
Post-Season Field Hockey is canceled today due to rain. Stay dry and see you Wednesday!
All League Recognition
Thank you to the Daily Pilot for recognizing our Sunset League All-League players!
McIntosh earns league’s top defensive honor
Senior among Newport Harbor players who come away with All-Sunset League laurels during championship season.
Newport Harbor High senior field hockey player Courtney McIntosh has been named the Sunset League’s Most Valuable Defensive Player, in voting by league coaches.
McIntosh was joined on the all-league first team by Sailors teammates Sophie Evans, Emmy Mitchell and Nicole Zielinski.
McIntosh, a three-year varsity player, was an integral piece on defense and in the midfield for Coach Amanda Boyer’s Sailors. She helped Newport Harbor (20-4-2) finish second in the Sunset League south division before going on to win its fourth straight Los Angeles Field Hockey Assn. Tournament of Champions title over rival Huntington Beach.
She was named to the TOC all-tournament team along with Jill Messersmith, with Evans as the tournament MVP.
Newport Harbor’s Messersmith, Taury Hlinka and Allie Pantosky earned second-team All-Sunset League status.
Huntington Beach’s Lindsay Walter was named league MVP, with the Oilers’ Kayla Wigney as the league’s Most Valuable Offensive Player. Alexis Coco of Edison earned the Most Valuable Midfielder honors, while Felicia Almeida of Marina was named Most Valuable Goalie.
Varsity: Save the Date!
Newport Harbor 2011 Varsity Field Hockey Players –

Off-Season Reminders
Just a few reminders for the players enrolled in off-season field hockey:
– Today (Monday, December 7) we are meeting in the library at 2 p.m. to take the athletic survey. We will have regular practice afterward.
– If you haven’t brought your contribution yet, please do so today.
– Any absence in Off-Season must be called in to the attendance office and excused or it will be marked as a truancy. Off-season field hockey is a class for PE credit and since we only meet twice a week, attendance is very important for each player’s grade.
