When a 91-8 score is misleading

By Paul Honda on October 13, 2012

A month or so ago, Konawaena dominated Kohala in a 76-0 win. A few weeks later, with injuries mounting and morale at a low — they didn’t have enough for an 11-on-11 workout — Kohala closed shop for the season, forfeiting the rest of their games.

Basketball Top 10 Polls: Art vs. Science

By Paul Honda on December 6, 2011

Konawaena-Lahainaluna preview: extended version
