The Taft of Woodland Hills boys' basketball team exacted a bit of revenge in a 79-66 quarterfinal victory against Mater Dei of Santa Ana at the 24th annual Nike Fairfax of Los Angeles tournament.

Taft lost at Mater Dei in the quarterfinals of the Div. I state playoffs last season.

Khiry Williams had 16 points, Kevin Johnson had 15, Stephen Maxwell had 14, Chris Yanku had 14 and Spencer Dinwiddie had 12 in the balanced effort for the Toreadors.

Taft trailed by as many as 14 points in the first half before rallying to tie the game at 37-37 late in the half.

The guards took over in the second half to help Taft advance to Friday's semifinal at 6 p.m. against Santa Monica.
