Staff WRITER Player of the Year NICK DELIO Saugus, Jr. He didn't say much, which at first seemed to be due mostly to his quiet nature. Later, he revealed what really was on his mind.After 53 straight holes without a bogey Bogey This is the benchmark return to which the performance of a portfolio manager or mutual fund manager is compared. Notes: This benchmark is typically the S&P 500 index. , Saugus High junior golfer Nick Delio had finally missed a put on the 10th hole of the Southern Section Individual Championship at Canyon Country Club in Palm Springs. Of course he still shot an even-par 72 to advance to the CIF/SCGA championships the following week. He was quiet again after his round at the SCGA SCGA Southern California Golf Association SCGA Software Carrier Group Alarm Members Course in Murrieta. Delio had hit an incredible 18 greens but finished with a 1-over 73 after struggling with his putting. It was only his second round over par since April. It was this focus and uncompromising competitiveness that took Delio from one of the best during the regular season to the best in the area during the postseason. He didn't settle for even-par rounds or three-putts.

Misko wasn't even aiming to take on perennial league power Westlake.The Highlanders had never even finished second in the Marmonte League. Set achievable goals, right? Misko had to pay up, alright. He's just lucky the team didn't make him do more than jump in the lake. Royal didn't just finish ahead of Agoura. The Highlanders set two school records, won the Marmonte League championship and the Southern Section Central Coast Division team title.True to his word, Misko took the plunge. ``It's not exactly a lake,'' he joked. ``It's only a few feet deep and it's pretty muddy.
