Normans Make All-League Lacrosse Squad

The Bay League was dominated by South Bay schools this spring, but two Beverly Hills High girls have made the All-League team.

Making the first team is Normans sophomore Dillan Watts, who racked up 41 goals, seven assists and 40 ground balls in 17 games. Beverly Hills finished fifth out of seven teams in the Bay League and 5-12 overall.

Watts was named Player of the Year for BHHS. 

"Dillan is the total package," Coach Kate Marks said. "She has speed, agility, field sense and can not only catch the ball in mid-air, but take it to the hole in five seconds. She is a real athlete and is respected by her team, coaches and opponents."

Normans senior captain Judy Naziri is on the second team. She scored 23 goals with one assist and 21 ground balls. 

Watts and Nazari both earned All-Bay League Honors last season as well.

Senior midfielder Julia Denney of Redondo Union was named the Most Valuable Player and Sea Hawks pilot Tom Borgia was Coach of the Year. 

Junior goalkeeper Kelli Couture of Palos Verdes was voted Most Outstanding Player.

On the boys side, Mira Costa midfielder Tom Farrell was named the league's Most Valuable Player and Mustangs pilot Chris Jewett was Coach of the Year.

Palos Verdes midfielder Zack Fixen earned the league's Offensive Player of the Year award and Mira Costa's Cody Smith was the Defensive Player of the Year.

Beverly Hills (4-11) finished seventh out of eight teams under coach Steve Taylor. 

Junior Nick Heller led the Normans with 20 goals and 10 assists and Maddy O'Neil added 16 goals and 10 assists.
