League champions cruise
- Share via
* The Estancia High boys golf team solidified its grip on the Golden
West League championship with a 188-232 victory over crosstown and
league rival Costa Mesa Tuesday at the Costa Mesa Golf & Country
Club.
It’s the first league title in seven seasons for Coach Art Perry’s
Eagles, who won three straight Pacific Coast League crowns from
1994-96.
The Eagles improved to 12-3, 7-0 in league. Perry said he was
uncertain whether his team would play its final league match against
Ocean View, but it would not affect the Eagles’ place atop the
standings.
Estancia senior Ryan Brown had the low round Tuesday, shooting par
35 on the Mesa Linda course. Jason Les (39), Greg Les (40) and Nick
Lettieri (42) followed for the Eagles, while junior Brian Beach (42)
led Mesa scorers.
Adam Donovan (45), Billy Jackson (46), Brett Via (46) and Joey
Edwards (54) rounded out the scorers for the Mustangs, who fell to
1-6 in league.
CdM earns title share
* The Corona del Mar High boys golf team clinched at least a tie
for the Pacific Coast League championship with a 186-231 romp over
PCL foe Calvary Chapel Tuesday at Newport Beach Country Club.
Senior Nick Sherman had a pair of birdies en route to a par 35 to
earn medalist honors, while Tim Frohling (36), Alex Chikovani (36),
Brad Chamberlin (39) and Ben Tilsen (40) also helped the Sea Kings
improve to 12-4, 8-1 in league.
Tesoro, with two league losses, would need to win its final league
match and hope CdM fell to Northwood in the Sea Kings’ league finale,
Thursday at Aliso Viejo Golf Club, to tie for the crown.
A CdM win over the Timberwolves would give the Sea Kings their
second straight outright PCL title. The Sea Kings won the first match
with Northwood, 196-204, April 7 at the T-wolves’ home course.
CdM’s home course, NBCC, is unavailable, so the match must be
played at Aliso Viejo.
“That will make things a little more interesting,” CdM Coach Mike
Starkweather said.
Warriors best Sailors
* Newport Harbor High sophomore Brandon Sowers shot 4-over 40 to
pace the Sailors, but visiting Woodbridge earned a 191-210 Sea View League boys golf victory Tuesday at Big Canyon Country Club.
David Motschenbacher (41), Rhett Palmer (42), Davis Pemstein (43)
and Mike Thacker (44) rounded out the scorers for the Sailors, who
fell to 4-10, 3-6 in league.
Woodbridge, the No. 1 team in Orange County, was led by medalist
Billy Moon (35).
