W-G (8-10) raced to a 20-11 lead after the first eight minutes of play, then outscored their guests, 9-1, in the second period to take a 29-12 lead into the locker room.
Any chance Grand View Christian (1-17) had of pulling an upset vanished in the third quarter, which ended with the Hawks possessing a 40-17 advantage.
