Boys basketball: Sailors win first-round matchup

ANAHEIM -Newport Harbor High’s two-headed monster of Dustin

Illingworth and Aaron Yarnal scored 50 of the Sailors’ 60 points en route

to a 60-47 win over Foothill in the first round of the Edison Basketball

Festival at the Anaheim Convention Center Tuesday.

The Sailors, despite being outscored, 35-26 in the first and third

quarters, dominated the second and fourth quarters, outscoring the

Knights, 34-12.

Another important factor for Newport was the free-throw shooting. The

Sailors were 13 for 16 from the charity stripe, while Foothill was only 5

for 6.

Zach Smith and Alex Rasmussen each had 11 points for the Knights.

The Sailors play the winner of the Katella-El Toro game Thursday at

4:40 p.m. in the second round.
