NOTES : Locals to Play for U.S. Team in Water Polo

Two Orange County water polo players will help the U.S. team’s bid for the Junior World Championship to be held Aug. 31 through Sept. 8 in Southern California.

Gavin Arroyo, a 1990 graduate of Villa Park High who now plays at California, and Jeremy Laster, a San Clemente High senior, are on the U.S. team that is one of the favorites for the title.

Games will be played at Heritage Park in Irvine, Newport Harbor High, Corona del Mar High and Cal State Long Beach. Tournament passes are $48 for adults and $24 for students. For information: call Hank Vellekamp, Long Beach College, (213) 420-4240 or (213) 592-1478.

Tiger Woods of Cypress shot eight-over 80 and dropped 14 shots off the lead of the Insurance Youth Golf Classic in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Woods, the defending champion of the tournament, recorded a 10 on a par-5 hole. His 156 after two rounds likely puts him out of reach of leader Scott Johnson of Kennewick, Wash., who has 142.

Scott Gibson, who will be a senior at Huntington Beach High in September, shot 73 and is in a four-way tie for fifth at 151.
