VALENCIA (2-5, 0-2) VS. KENNEDY (4-3, 1-1)

On Tuesday, Wu found out she was this year’s recipient of the award, which is handed out to one male and female athlete in the state. Wu will receive her award in front of the state senate on June 11. She also gets a $5,000 scholarship.

O.C. Insider: Valencia's Mike Newman
April 30th, 2009, 9:53 pm by Jonathan Kay
The Scoop on: Valencia’s Mike Newman
The basics:
-- 5-foot- 11, 170 pounds
-- Senior
-- Left fielder
-- Right-handed hitter
Stat line (through the first 20 games): .438 batting average, .500 on-base percentage, .757 slugging percentage, 28 hits, 10 doubles, 3 home runs, 16 RBIs, 13 runs, 5 walks, 4 strikeouts. (Click here to go to Newman's bio page.)
Tools: The guy can hit.
“He keeps his weight back; he’s compact,” Valencia coach Mike Scheetz said. “And he doesn’t get cheated. He takes a very aggressive hack.”
His approach would drive seamheadscrazy. “I want to hit,” Newman said. “I’m not looking to walk. I’m not looking to do anything else. I just want a line drive up the middle every time. … You can’t take too many fastballs in this league.”
But Scheetz makes sure to note, “He’s disciplined. He’s not going to chase pitches out of the strike zone.”
Colorful character: “He wears the most bizarre colored clothing,” Scheetz said. “Yellow jeans, aqua jeans, purple jeans, red. … I think that would be the most flamboyant thing about him.”
Teammates let it slide.
Coaches don’t.

Boys soccer: How the top 10 might look in 2009-10
April 4th, 2009, 6:36 pm by Damian Dottore, OCVarsity
OK, I know the 2009-10 soccer season is a long way off, but I thought it might be kind of fun to put down the teams that I think will be the top 10 in the county poll at the start of next season.
And we'll see how different the list really looks when it's time for the teams to hit the field.
Unless he loses some players to academy, I think the No. 1 team on this list will be No. 1 for a long, long time next season.
