Calvary Chapel

COSTA MESA — So uneasy was Jennifer Courtney afterward. She banged around, fighting for rebounds, loose balls, anything she could get her hands on for the Costa Mesa High girls' basketball team Friday. When she did in the fourth quarter, Calvary Chapel began to stay clear of the 5-foot-6 force in the middle. Yeah, 5-6. She proved her toughness, scoring 11 of her game-high 17 points in the fourth and grabbing 15 rebounds to get Costa Mesa back into the thick of things in the Orange Coast League with a 52-47 home victory.
