Here’s a recap on Kailua’s win over No. 10 Leilehua on Wednesday. (Limited space in the print edition this morning.) Kailua 49, Leilehua 46 The Surfriders rode their big wave to a second win in as many nights, clinching a state-tournament berth with a come-from-behind victory. Delcie Williams paced Kailua (12-5, 9-3 OIA) with 21 points, five rebounds and four steals. Kawehi Perry and Patria Vaimaona added nine points each. Vaimaona was superb defensively with eight rebounds and six steals […]

Mililani 10, Radford 8, end Q1 Sluggish first quarter for both teams. Sarah Liva just two points so far. Mililani 29, Radford 15, halftime The Lady Trojans’ fullcourt press is wearing the Rams out.

Trojans still a little rusty. Mililani 54, Radford 36, final The third time wasn’t […]

OIA Red girls basketball playoff game is close to tip-off. Kailua, which ousted Waianae on Tuesday, will play Leilehua here at Mililani’s gym. The second game pits Mililani and dangerous Radford.

The OIA has six state-touranment berths, so tonight’s winners advance to the semifinals. All four of those teams will earn state berths. Tonight’s losers stay alive […]

Originally, this girls basketball game was scheduled at Punahou, but an ILH wrestling meet is occupying Hemmeter Fieldhouse today. The game was moved to Mid-Pacific, which is where I went at first. But the game is going to be on TV, and to make that happen, it was moved to Kamehameha as the front side of a girls-boys doubleheader. The nightcap game is between the boys of MPI and Kamehameha (7 p.m.). I haven’t asked yet why it’s at Kamehameha, […]

For me, it’s the difference on my ballot. Punahou is on a roll after […]
