PREP NOTES

Ten Orange County high schools were honored at Dodger Stadium recently in the Southern Section’s “Shake for Sportsmanship” awards ceremony.

The program honored schools for outstanding sportsmanlike conduct throughout the 1991-92 school year. Among the criteria for winning the award is participation, enthusiasm, behavior at home and away games and treatment of opponents and officials.

The judging is based not only on the action of competitors, but the school’s band members, drill teams, pep squads, cheerleaders and student-rooting sections.

The county schools honored:

St. Margaret’s (Academy League), Orange (Century League), Loara (Empire League), Sunny Hills (Freeway League), Garden Grove (Garden Grove League), Savanna (Orange League), Century (Pacific Coast League), University (Sea View League), Irvine (South Coast League and Westminster (Sunset League).

Pitcher Jon Ward, who led Huntington Beach High to a school-record 22 victories and the Sunset League title, heads the list of selections for the South team that will participate in the 25th Orange County all-star baseball game June 12 at Glover Stadium in Anaheim.
