Trujillo keys Mesa’s win

Costa Mesa High girls basketball team to a 57-22 victory over La

Quinta in a consolation quarterfinal of the Costa Mesa tournament

period and rebounded after an opening-round loss to San Ramon Valley

Friday.

Senior Ashley Kelly tallied a career-high with 10 points and added

five rebounds for Mesa (5-3), which made nine three-pointers.

Cassey Brick (eight points) made two threes.
