Car Wash

Posted on by

The Car Wash Fundraiser on Saturday was an enormous success. Many customers called it ‘the most successful car wash they’d ever seen’! The girls did an amazing job working together to organize, rinse, clean, rinse again, and dry a very large number of cars.

A big thank you to John & Jill Frei for all of their help with the supplies and to St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church for letting us use their parking lot. Also, thanks to Kathy Liotta, Nancy Rohan, Nancy Long, and Denise Chandler for their help throughout the day with set up, selling tickets & baked goods, organization, and clean up. Lastly, thanks to Frosh/Soph dad, Gordon Jones, for jumping in to help the girls dry when he saw the long line of cars continue to grow. We were successful thanks to all of these volunteers and all of our generous customers! Thank you!!

Warriors of the Game

Posted on by

Our opponent on Thursday, Chaminade High School, has a tradition of giving a ‘warrior of the game’ to a member of the opposing team. The team votes on a player and then awards her with a plastic army man. Chaminade chose Varsity’s #3 Beth Barnard and JV’s #20 Jill Messersmith. Good work girls!

VARSITY – Newport Harbor 5, Chaminade 0
Newport Harbor defeated Chaminade in girls’ field hockey Thursday, earning a 5-0 victory.  Newport Harbor (4-0) made 21 shots on goal to none for Chaminade.  “We were able to find the back of the cage today”, coach Amanda Boyer said.  Coach Boyer singled out junior defender Sophie Evans and senior forwards Mary Yeager and Taylor Cordeiro for strong play. The Sailors’ spread the scoring around, with goals from Yeager and fellow seniors Stephanie Storch and Megan Case, and juniors Allie Pantoskey and Emily Browne, off assists by Yeager, Cordeiro, Storch, Cordeiro and Emily Mitchell.
