Chase Dionio scored 17 points to go with four assists and three steals to lead the Newport Harbor High School girls’ basketball team to a 58-41 win over Edison and the outright Wave League title on Monday at home.

Newport Harbor (13-2, 5-0) broke the game open by outscoring the Chargers 23-6 in the third quarter.

BASEBALL
Los Amigos 5, Rancho Alamitos 0: Juan Gutierrez pitched six shutout innings, allowing three hits and striking out five, to lead the Lobos on Monday in a Garden Grove League game at home.
Gutierrez added two hits, including a double, a run scored, and a run batted in for Los Amigos (3-4 overall and in league) offensively. Maysen Navarro also had three hits, a run scored and drove in a run.
Lobos coach Aaron Pines, who was hospitalized for his battle with cancer earlier this year, has returned to the team. Due to the coronavirus-shortened season in his first year at Los Amigos, Monday marked the first time that Pines had coached against Rancho Alamitos, where his brother, Greg, is the head coach, and his father, Myron, is an assistant.
“No extra motivation,” Pines said of his approach to the game. “I told [my players] that Coach Pines is going to be in the other dugout, also, but they know that we need to win for playoffs, and I want them to win for them.”
Myron Pines opted to watch the game from the stands.
Los Amigos will travel to Rancho Alamitos (5-9, 2-5) for the second game of their home-and-home set on Thursday.
