Does BIIF champion Kamehameha-Hawaii have the firepower to beat Punahou? Division II is equally unpredictable. With Trey Ambrozich out of the state tournament due to a back injury, can ILH champion University fulfill its potential? Kohala is the defending state champion, but will we see early-season Kohala or Kohala v2.0? Thursday, Feb. 22 HHSAA […]
