Boys basketball: Mesa knocks off Sunny Hills

FULLERTON - Ryan Naff scored 19 points to lead Costa Mesa High’s

boys basketball team to a 65-56 nonleague win over Sunny Hills Wednesday

night.

Mustangs senior Nathan Jones chipped in with 10 points, while seniors

Steve Whittaker and Dave Weir each scored nine.

Lancers to only four first-quarter points, while jumping out to a

nine-point lead.

Naff scored 11 of his 19 points in the first quarter.

Zach De Leon scored 15 points for Sunny Hills (4-7).

Costa Mesa (9-3) will take on the Canyon High JV squad Monday at 1:30
