Stockstill to join Vargas at Stanford

Beau Stockstill, a first-team All-CIF Southern Section Division I

goalie for last season’s Corona del Mar High boys water polo team,

will continue his athletic career and education at Stanford, he said

Monday.

Stockstill phoned Cardinal Coach John Vargas, the former head man

at CdM, Monday night to tell him the news. Stockstill recorded 272

saves, 32 steals and 13 assists in the fall, helping lead the Sea

Kings to a 20-8 record and a CIF Division I final berth.

Stockstillalso collected first-team All-Pacific Coast League

honors, as CdM won its fourth straight PCL title. In 2001, Stockstill

combined with Sherwin Kim in the cage and the duo provided the

defense in the Sea Kings’ third straight CIF Division II title.

Stockstill was accepted academically at UCLA, USC, UC Berkeley,

Harvard, Princeton, Yale and Notre Dame. Berkeley and Princeton also

showed interest in Stockstill for water polo, but he said Stanford,

“offered everything I want in college.”

* SOFTBALL: Sophomore Hillary Larsen went 3 for 3 with two

doubles and four RBIs to highlight the Estancia High softball team’s

victory over host St. Margaret’s Monday. The game was a consolation

contest made up from the Costa Mesa Tournament earlier in the season.

The Eagles (10-6) won in four innings, as the game was called

because it exceeded the time limit. Senior Laura Morton contributed a

three-run double for Estancia.
