There was no stopping Fairfax on Wednesday night against Harvard-Westlake. The Lions opened a 44-19 halftime lead over an intimidated Wolverines team and cruised to an 83-50 victory in the Redondo tournament.

Renardo Sidney led the way with 22 points. Lance Bailey had 14, Jordan Weathers 13 and Solomon Hill 10 points. Austin Kelly had 16 points for Harvard-Westlake, which had trouble early on handling Fairfax’s man-to-man defense.

It sets up a semifinal game against Pacific Hills, which defeated Peninsula, 49-44. Pacific Hills has two college prospects in guard Derick Flowers, who has signed with UC Irvine, and 6-7 Alex Osborne. Game time Friday is 6:30 p.m.
