West Hi wallops Fairfield
Senior center Danny Horace scored 22 points and grabbed 10 rebounds and had a team-high four steals to lead fourth-seeded Western Hills to an easy 70-44 victory over Fairfield in the Division I Sectional at Lakota West.
Senior forward Darryl Peterson added 17 points and seven rebounds for the Mustangs, who led by as many as 17 in the first half.
A key stat in the game was turnovers. Western Hills forced 18 Fairfield turnovers, while the Mustangs turned it over only six times.
