Both
teams had met before this season.  The Warriors got the upper hand
at their gym for the first go-around.  This time it was at
Moanalua in the title game of their tournament.   Would the
Menehune be able to even the score?

The Warriors proved to be
able to carry out a game plan and execute as they were able to defeat
Moanalua 47-37 on Saturday night, and win the Tournament.

“We’ve
come in 2nd and 3rd in two other tournaments so it was good to win this
one,”  said Auwe Derego.  Derego, Kamakoa Downey-Jovanavich,
and Pii Minns all made the All-Tournament Team.  Minns was awarded
the Most Outstanding Player as well.

Kawika Lyons led the Warriors with 15 points.  Damien Kaehuaea added 13 points.

“I
think we have done well but still got a ways to go,” said Kamehameha
Heaed Coach Jesse Nakanishi.  “I like how the players have bought
in to their roles.  Minns and DeRego have really stepped it up and
done other things, even though they are just juniors.”

For
Moanalua, point guard Stevie Austin had another outstanding game. 
He was the leading scorer with 14 points and had numerous steals and
forced turnovers from the defensive end.  Marcus Monroe added 9
points.

Two ILH foes battled it out for 3rd Place in the Na Menehune Reebok Holiday Classic on Saturday.  In the final seconds, Marcus Holyfield penetrated down the middle then dished off to Kellar Ellsworth who put in the winning layup with 6.1 seconds left to lift the Owls over Maryknoll, 48-47.

The Spartans lead the entire first half.  The Owls could not get into any rhythm and subsequently their offense fluttered with inconsistency. 

“We started off slow,” said point guard Sampson Won.  “We were just rushing things.  But we had to make them play our game.”

That change occurred in the 3rd quarter.  Head Coach Kevin O’Connell made the adjustments and a different Owl team took the floor.  Mid Pac outscored the Spartans 14-4 in the 3rd period to take a 34-33 lead going into the 4th period.

“Our defense needs to play like that,” remarked Holyfield, who would finish the night with 8 points and the crucial assist at the end.

Devon Takenaka, who sat most of the 1st half in foul trouble, hit his only 3-point field goal in the 4th period to keep things rolling for the Owls.  Maryknoll’s Tyler Terai connected on 2 free throws to give the Spartans a 47-41 lead with 1:19 remaining.  That would be the last scoring for Maryknoll.

Won nailed a 3-pointer with 1:00 to cut the lead to 3 points.  Then Ellsworth proved his worth by grabbing an offensive rebound then getting fouled on the put back attempt.  He made both free throws to narrow the lead to only 1 point at 47-46 with :39.9 remaining.  The Spartans could not convert on their possession which then set up the final play.

“I actually did not call any play,” said O’Connell.  “I had 1 timeout to use but this team seems to play well if I don’t use it.  They can penetrate well, and Marcus did just that and saw the open man.”

In an exciting finish, the Radford Rams held on to beat Kapolei 48-47 in the Consolation Round of the Na Menehune Reebok Holiday Classic.  The final day of the Tournament would see the Rams complete a 3 game winning streak after losing in the 1st round on Wednesday.

Both teams will begin their OIA seasons starting next week.

In the OIA Boys East Division, the race is tight between leader Kalani at 5-3-1, and 2nd place Roosevelt, 4-2-2.  Kalaheo is right on Roosevelt’s tail at 4-4-1.

In the West, Mililani is running away with the lead with their undefeated record at 7-0-0.  Aiea is trying to hold on to 2nd place with a 5-3-2 mark.

Kalani is also doing well on the Girls side, leading the East with a terrific 8-0-1 record.  They have distanced themselves from 2nd place Kahuku at 5-3-1.

The race to watch for the girls is in the West with Pearl City (7-0-1), Kapolei(7-1-1), and Mililani(6-1-0) seperated by only 4 points.  Each ensuing game for each team will be critical.

In the ILH, the Kamehameha Boys at 5-0-1 are battling with Iolani at 4-1-1.  This race will be interesting particularly when they meet up again.

The Kamehameha girls have extended their lead over Punahou and Iolani.  The Lady Warriors at 7-0-0 will be looking to see who will win the 2nd spot as the Buff N Blu and Raiders, both 4-1-1, battle it out.

ILH Representative Kamehameha will play in the Championship Game Saturday in the Na Menehune Reebok Holiday Classic, as they defeat Maryknoll in the Semi Finals Friday night, 60-39.  The Championship Game will be at 7:30p at the Moanalua High School Gymnasium.

The Warriors have looked dominant in all of their Tournament games so for – a 37 point win over Kauai, and a 10-point victory over Laguna Beach,CA on Thursday night.

The full court pressure caused problems early for the Spartans and Coach Steve Hathaway.  Pressure led to turnovers, and subsequently easy buckets for Kamehameha.

Pii Mins and Kamakoa Downey-Jovanavich and company excecuted their multiple screen motion offense efficiently enough to get the open looks and wear down the Spartan defenders.

Head Coach Jesse Nakanishi will lead his team into the Championship Game agains the host Moanalaua Ne Menehune who have also had a steady road through the tournament.

Maryknoll and Mid Pacific will meet at 6:00p in the 3rd place game.
