Ross, who won three Olympic medals, was an indoor volleyball All-American at Newport Harbor High and USC.

The Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani is referred to as Major League Baseball’s unicorn because of his unique pitching-hitting prowess. Even rarer is a pitcher and catcher who can also succeed in the batter’s box. Meet Newport Harbor High senior Lucas Perez, who performs both ends of baseball’s battery at an all-star level. One of the top defensive backstops in Orange County, Perez threw out the first 15 attempted base stealers this season, before Fountain Valley’s Anthony Zamora swiped a bag on April 18.

Some local students have the privilege of competing for their high schools in sailing and surfing, water sports that could only be possible close to waterfront, beach or coastal environments. These days, beach volleyball has become another popular niche sport, and no one is more qualified to coach than Dan Glenn.

This month marks the 50th consecutive year Hoag Hospital has operated a professional golf tournament at the Newport Beach Country Club. From the inaugural Crosby Southern Pro-Am in 1975 to the 2025 Hoag Classic on the PGA Tour Champions, the venerable hospital and staple of Newport Beach has changed its name a few times through the decades, but will always have a distinguished legacy thanks to community and philanthropic leaders Charlie Hester and Marshall Duffield.
