BOYS' BASKETBALL: SYLMAR NO MATCH FOR TAFT TOREADORS' HAYNES SCORES 29 POINTS IN VICTORY.


Byline: Sean Ceglinsky Staff Writer

The Taft High of Woodland Hills boys' basketball team moved up to the top spot in the Daily News' rankings this week and looked every bit the part Saturday night.

The visiting Toreadors dismantled No. 12 Sylmar 98-72 in a nonleague victory that figures to strengthen their claim as the best program in the area.

``We're playing some pretty good basketball right now. Nothing scares us,'' Taft coach Derrick Taylor said. ``We're peaking at the right time.''

Taft (18-5) opened up a 23-13 lead in the first quarter and extended the advantage to 23 points at the half. Sylmar (13-9) played with a sense of urgency after intermission and cut the deficit to 14 points midway through the third quarter.
