Capistrano Valley (0-2) lost its second straight to start the season.

Newport Harbor led 3-1 at the end of the first quarter, 6-2 at halftime and 8-3 at the end of the third quarter before cruising to the finish over the final 12 minutes.

“I’m really excited,” Newport Harbor first-year head coach Andreas Gaynor said when asked about his team’s 4-1 start.

“The kids are picking up on the techniques that we’re coaching. We’re senior-laden on defense, and that’s where we’re using our strength. And the offense keeps picking it up every game.”
