Dear parents, alumni, sponsors, and fans of Newport Harbor athletics.
Tonight, and the annual Battle of the Bay game will be the senior’s last performances under the Davidson Field lights.
Life has a funny way of rushing by when we least expect it.
It’s senior night… an occasion where we pay tribute to the hard work, dedication, and heart these young men have poured into this team and this sport.
If you’re a parent, relative, or friend of a senior, you will probably relate to that first sentence. Wow. We have been so fortunate to watch and play with the students, families, and friends of our seniors.
I have had the pleasure of meeting all
these seniors in their first year at NHHS. I guess that’s what happens when you stay in one place for so long. It’s been my pleasure to serve Principal Boulton, Coach Lofthouse and Athletic Director Murray as the Booster Club President since 2018, A heartfelt “Thank You” to those who have worked tirelessly to give the players and coaches the best experience possible.
Watching all these neighborhood kids play football for Newport Harbor would not be possible without the generosity of the Newport Beach community. Together, we have done some great things. Some of these events are “life-changing” for kids and their families. I encourage you to be involved and stay involved.
The Newport Harbor Football Boosters is a 501(c)(3) non-profit (Federal Tax ID # 33-0010005) and your donation is
tax-deductible, or we can give you a marketing invoice. Our mission, as a booster club, is to provide resources to Coach Lofthouse and his staff to keep building Newport Harbor High School Football into one of the most respected public school football programs in the country for our student-athletes.
ALL PARENTS of the NHHS Football program are members of the booster club and we encourage you to get and stay involved.
Thank you so much, and GO TARS! O
Jason Lavin, Booster Club President ‘18-‘23 JLavin@TarFootball.com
To all alumni, parents, and community supporters –welcome!
This is NHHS’s 94th year of playing football and tonight we have a LOT going on, so buckle up.
It’s homecoming week – a reunion where young and old gather to celebrate community at NHHS. Thank you to the Alumni Association for hosting the 3rd annual homecoming tailgate at our neighboring ENC facility. This year’s party included a celebration of 50 seasons of the John Gust Football Award.
It’s also senior night – a sentimental night for seniors and their families. Thank you to all of our parents, teachers, and coaches who support our young student-athletes. Our seniors have learned life lessons and are well-prepared for their next chapter.
On the school front, 2023 has started out with a strong enthusiasm for learning and playing. I am grateful for our students and teachers who follow tradition and create legacies of their own.
On the football front, our team has been “battle tested” with five equally matched preseason opponents. The stiff preseason competition will come in handy as we kick off the season opener of the Sunset League. As of this writing, Coach Lofthouse and the football staff have our team at 2-3. This has been our toughest preseason schedule since Coach Lofthouse took the reins in the spring of 2018.
I am GRATEFUL to Coach Lofthouse and his staff for taking on this challenge and helping our kids develop disciplined work habits and character traits that are essential for a successful existence after high school. In the end, this character-building is what is most important. Our student-athletes develop life-long skills that are essential for professional success and personal livelihood beyond football.
I will echo a past request. Let’s piggy-back on Coach Lofthouse, the staff, and the players in GIVING OUR BEST on the following fronts:
n Let’s show OUR BEST RESPECT to the hard work and competitive spirit of our young men and women as they compete—by modeling good sportsmanship and proper decorum at all of our games and events.
n Let’s offer OUR BEST HOSPITALITY to the guests that we host at Davidson Field. We have the most beautiful high school setting in all the land (just look up at the sky at kickoff). Let’s be thankful for that and make sure our guests feel welcome.
n Finally, let’s give OUR BEST EFFORT in all things we do as Sailors, whether that be on the field, in the classroom, or around the community.
On this special night (senior night) I would like to thank the dedicated student-athletes class of 2024 of football, band, and cheer—along with all the parents and supporters who have devoted their time, effort, and money to our programs. Go Sailors! O
Sean Boulton, Principal
Getting a few minutes with Coach Peter Lofthouse is easier than you might think. After spending more than eight years at the JUCO ranks, including a historic season at San Diego’s Mesa College where in three short years the program went from 3-7 to 9-2 and won its first bowl game in over 30 years, Coach Lofthouse has settled into Newport Harbor High School and is our 6th year head football coach.
“Anytime someone wants to talk about what we’re trying to accomplish at Newport Harbor,” Coach Lofthouse says, “I’m Interested.”
Tonight we celebrate the senior class of 2024.
We have 31 of them.
At the end of the season, their names will be added to The Long Grey Line with the other men who played Friday nights on Davidson Field.
Seniors always have a special place on the team. Each class has a ‘story’ all to themselves. These seniors have endured the most difficult challenge that I can ever remember in my coaching career. Basically, the beginning and middle of their high school was interrupted. I don’t like mentioning what it was (that interrupted them) so I won’t – but we all know what it was.
They hung in there. They fought like hell, both mentally and physically, and they made it. They got five games in their freshman year. They started the season 3-7 their sophomore year before “catching fire” and winning CIF. Last year, as juniors, they played in the Division 4 semifinals. Now, this year is their swan song. Tonight we open up our Sunset League play with an improved Huntington Beach team. Our tough pre-season schedule should have us ready and I know you can expect their best effort. Being around these guys is just so much fun. I am a lucky coach.
Let’s tip our cap to them tonight. Thank you for coming. Finally, as with all home games, please make sure you stay until the end when we sing our alma mater. In case you’re not sure of the words, here is a study guide:
“Hail, our Alma Mater, to her grey and blue; We give her love and honor for her spirit’s true. (it’s true) Our loyalty to Harbor High ever will our standard be. We’ll fight for the night, so hail Harbor High!”
I’d like to thank Dr. Boulton and administration, teachers and booster club for taking such an interest in the football program. Let’s play some football. O
Peter Lofthouse, Head Football Coach
Coach Lofthouse believes that the game of football, at the high school level, is a teaching tool and an opportunity to change the lives of young men through experience. It’s a unique opportunity for teenagers to not only learn values that work on the football field, but any athletic field… and more importantly, values that they can instill into their lives well beyond their high school years.
These values are called “The 5 F’s” and it’s instilled in EVERYTHING we do.
FAITH
Faith in yourself. Faith in your teammates. Faith in your coaches. BUY IN to what we’re doing on this football team.
Protecting your immediate family (e.g. Mom, Dad, siblings, relatives) as well including your teammates as your family.
Aligning with buddies that have high morals and good character. Friends (and teammates) that hold each other accountable for their actions.
Having fun and playing hard and playing to the best of your ability.
Finishing everything you start. Whether it be homework, a test or “playing until the whistle” – give it your best effort.
