Tars’ Bury singled out

Newport Harbor High senior Michael Bury has been named first-team

All-CIF Southern Section Division I in boys water polo team.

Bury, who led the Sailors with 93 goals, was the lone Newport-Mesa

player to earn first-team honors and one of just three players, all

from Newport Harbor, to be selected for any team.

Sophomore Clay Jorth, who scored 56 goals for the Sailors, was

named to the Division I second team and teammate Griffin Gentry, a

senior, was a third-team selection.

A member of the U.S. youth national team, Bury earned first-team

honors for the second consecutive year after leading Newport Harbor

to a 17-11 finish and an appearance in the Division I quarterfinals.

The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder was called one of the best two-meter men in

Division I by his coach, Jason Lynch, and is considered a top college

prospect.

Jorth, who joined Bury as a first-team All-Sea View League

selection, is a member of the U.S. national cadet team and was second

to Bury in goals this season.
