Daily News.com

Birmingham of Lake Balboa (7-8) opened up a 15-13 first quarter lead only to watch Taft of Woodland Hills (10-4), ranked second by the Daily News go on a second quarter run that led to a 15-point halftime lead and 81-58 West Valley League victory on Wednesday.

Oregon State-bound Calvin Haynes scored 13 of 18 points during the spurt. The senior added nine points in the third quarter and finished with a game-high 29 on 9 of 14 shooting from the field and a 3-of-6 effort from beyond the three-point arc.

"Once I found my rhythm, it's on. The other team is in trouble." Calvin Haynes said. "It's like lighting a match to a flame."

Calvin Haynes ' scoring was vital considering the Toreador's were with out Larry Drew, who was out with a strained Achilles. The sophomore guard was cleared to play, but chose to rest instead to be better prepared for Friday's game against visiting Chatsworth at 7 p.m.

Jarrel Smith, a 6-foot-8 forward, who committed to Colorado State scored the first eight points of the second half for the Patriots and finished with 28 points and eight rebounds. Teammate Jordan Weiner added 23 points, 15 of which came in the first half.
