Boys volleyball: Sailors’ Tippett Co-MVP

Newport Harbor High senior Blake Tippett, a 6-foot-4 outside hitter

who led the Sailors to the CIF Southern Section Division III boys

volleyball semifinals, has been named Co-Most Valuable Player in the Sea

View League by the circuit’s coaches.

Tippett, who shared the top honor with senior Kris Kraushaar from

league champion Irvine, is among four Sailors recognized. Tippett was a

second-team pick as a junior.

Senior middle blocker Christian Berg-Hansen, as well as junior setter

Loyd Wright, also represent the Sailors on the first team, while junior

Greg Perrine is the Tars’ lone second-team honoree.

Kraushaar shared league MVP honors with Newport Harbor’s Billy Clayton

last spring.
