Lexington and White Knoll are each a victory away from a Friday matchup in the Lake Murray Tipoff final.
The two teams improved to 2-0 in the tournament with decisive home victories on their homecourt Tuesday night. Lexington pulled away from Burke 76-46 behind 20 points from Bradley Foulks, 18 from Mason Carver and 16 from Jonathan Corley.
Over in Red Bank, the Timberwolves dominated from start to finish in routing Fairfield Central 96-57.
Tauris Wilson led a quartet of double-figure figures for the Timberwolves with 29 points and drew praise from head coach Devin Liferidge.
“He has been amazing, but he’s been amazing all preseason,” Liferidge said. “He was amazing this summer, just to see his development from a sophomore to a junior the last few months has been nothing short of incredible. I’m excited about how he’s leading us on and off the floor.”
White Knoll scored the first 11 points of the contest. It led as many as 44 points in the fourth quarter and finished the game with 7, 3-point plays.
D.J. Culbreath added 14 points, Jalen Jennings had 13 and Jaylen Ray finished with 10 for the Timberwolves.
A win Friday at Lexington High School over Airport would potentially set up a matchup between Liferidge and his former Wildcats head coach Bailey Harris on Friday. Lexington, for its part, would have to defeat Palmetto Wednesday to reach the final.

Darvin Grant scored a game-high 18 points and Quinton Brown had 15 to lead the Capitols.
Jalen Canada had 15 points and Raevon Allen added 11 for the Eagles. Although Airport is winless, White Knoll head coach Devin Liferidge is concerned about Wednesday’s opponent.
“To be honest, they scare me,” he said. “They are so long and just watching them play, I think that type of length could bother us. So expect the same type of effort from us that I’ll get from them.”
