SAN DIEGO — The Newport Harbor Water Polo Foundation boys’ 14-and-under team won the San Diego County Cup in dramatic fashion Sunday.
Anthony Daboub scored the game-winning goal two minutes into sudden-death overtime to lead NHWP past the SoCal club, 10-9, in the title match of the AA Division, the top level.
NHWP Coach Corey Delahunt, also the Newport Harbor High boys’ assistant coach, said it was the first time the team has won the prestigious tournament that includes 32 teams, the majority of them large clubs that field players from various areas. NHWP, on the other hand, has players solely from the Newport Beach area that will most likely attend Newport Harbor.
