A 6-foot junior guard from Bellevue West High School, Turner poured in a career-high 23 points and grabbed a career-best nine rebounds in Monday’s win. He scored 10 straight points in the final two minutes, 35 seconds of the first half, helping turn a 29-21 deficit into a 33-29 halftime lead.
Turner finished the contest making 5 of 9 shots from the field and was 12 for 15 at the charity stripe. He also recorded three steals and two assists.
