June 9th, 2013, 1:46 am by

Mater Dei senior-to-be cornerback Jonathan Lockett and Santa Margarita junior-to-be wide receiver Kyle Sweet are headed to camps Sunday with plenty of momentum from Saturday’s Air Strike passing tournament in Dana Hills.

Lockett will attend a camp at USC while Sweet will camp at UCLA. Both were among the top players at the Air Strike.

Lockett, who has nine scholarship offers, shined in back-to-back duels against Alemany wide receiver Desean Holmes and Hart wide receiver Trent Irwin. Lockett had interceptions while covering both Holmes and Irwin.

Water polo recruiting: Santa Margarita’s Wan exploring schools on both coasts

May 1st, 2013, 2:26 pm by

Santa Margarita water polo player Haley Wan, The Register’s 2013 player of the year, is now swimming fast for the Eagles’ girls swim team but she has also been keeping up with college recruiting.

The junior attended a Cal junior day in March and visited Harvard and Princeton over spring break.

She also made an unofficial visit to UCLA in April and planned to visit Stanford.

“It’s really exciting but it’s really stressful, too,” Wan said during the recent Foothill Swim Games.

Servite football coach

April 24th, 2013, 10:29 am by

Servite has zeroed in on its next football coach. The announcement could come today, maybe Thursday, definitely Friday at the latest.

There were 70 applicants. Paper screening and preliminary talks reduced the pool to four finalists — Servite dean of students and assistant football coach A.J. Gass (and a great player at Servite in the ’90s), and three out-of-area coaches including one from outside of California.

All four were abundantly qualified, or they would not have advanced to the final four.

The opening was created when Troy Thomas decided to return to coaching at Crespi of Encino, his alma mater and where he was coach before he took the Servite job in 2005.

The new coach has one heck of a schedule awaiting him. Here is the Servite football schedule for 2013 …

Softball: Orange Lutheran vs. Santa Margarita Live Blog Remix

April 12th, 2013, 8:26 pm by

I did a live blog from the Trinity League game between Orange Lutheran and Santa Margarita on Friday at Santa Margarita High. Here’s how it all went down:

LIVE FROM SANTA MARGARITA HIGH

I have the Mobile OCVarsity Press Row set up at Santa Margarita High for a Trinity League scrap between No. 6 Orange Lutheran (17-5, 1-0) and Santa Margarita (11-8, 0-1).

The Lancers are going with Illinois-bound Jade Vecvanags in the circle and The Eagles are throwing sophomore Jayme Cone. This is my first look at Cone.

The umpires are going over the particulars with the coaches. You know, the usual: “No biting, fish-hooking or punching below the belt. Go to your neutral corners and come out swinging when the bell sounds.” It was something like that.

I think Santa Margarita coach John Fitzpatrick’s finishing move is “The Flying Burrito” a la Tito Santana. Orange Lutheran coach Steve Miklos goes with the elbow from the top rope as his finishing move.

Fitz and Miklos might seem like to of the nicest guys in OC softball, but you should have seen them in the now-defunct OCSCPWL (Orange County Softball Coaches Pro Wrestling League). They were vicious.

Cone is very careful with Vecvanags and walks her to lead off the game. Vecvanags is also OLu’s best hitter.

Sabrina Alcantra executes a perfect sacrifice to move Vecvanags to second base.

San Diego-bound Olivia Sandusky rips a single up the middle and Vecvanags scores easily from second base.

Sandusky steals second base with two outs, and she takes third on a wild pitch.

Santa Margarita sophomore Kaitlyn Merritt set a sophomore state pole vaulting record with a clearance of 13 feet, 6 inches Saturday at the California Relays at Cerritos College.

Merritt, who established the state’s all-time freshman record last season, eclipsed the previous sophomore state record of 13-5¾ achieved by Newport Harbor’s Allison Stokke at the 2005 Beach Cities Invitational.

Merritt entered the competition at 11-6 and had first attempt clearances at six inch increments all the way up to 13-6.

Her new lifetime best is now one inch away from the county’s all-time record of 13-7, which Stokke set in 2007. It is also tied for the fifth best clearance in California history and the 11th best clearance in National High School Federation history.
