Football: Corona del Mar has neighborhood bragging rights

Share

For the first time in seven years, Corona del Mar found itself on the winning side of its neighborhood rivalry game with Newport Harbor, known as the Battle of the Bay. The Sea Kings won Friday night, 34-14.

Corona del Mar is 4-0, has a 14-game winning streak and looks like a strong candidate to win a third consecutive Southern Division championship.

Cole Martin rushed for 194 yards in 33 carries. Quarterback Luke Napolitano had two touchdown passes and a touchdown run.

There was a packed crowd at Orange Coast College of 7,500.

The fan fervor, player intensity and community involvement is what high school football is supposed to be about.
