The Orange County boys athlete of the week:
Name: Peter Castillo
School: Newport Harbor
Sport: Water polo
Year: Senior
Noteworthy: He scored a team-high five goals and drew four exclusions for the Sailors in their 16-6 win over Corona del Mar in their Battle of the Bay game. Catillo, a 6-foot-4 center, has committed to UCLA. Newport Harbor coach Ross Sinclair said Castillo is a force and a consistent player for the Sailors, who host Santa Margarita on Thursday in the first round of the CIF Southern Section Open Division playoffs. “He has an incredibly high water polo IQ,” Sinclair said. “He is very difficult to guard one-on-one.”
