Kaiser’s new adventure, officially moving on up from Division II to D-I, is going well.
Chance Kalaugher made sure of that by scoring 35 points, including a tip-in to give the Cougars a 62-61 lead in the final minute, en route to a 64-61 win over Kamehameha. Isaiah Akiona‘s free throws with 19.2 seconds left opened the margin to three points. Kamehameha’s last shot in the final seconds missed, and it was a 2-point shot at that.
Kalaugher hit four 3-pointers and was 14-for-21 from the foul line. As a team, the Cougars were 28-for-56 from the line.
The 2014-15 D-II state champions also got 11 points and seven rebounds from Keoua Mahiko. The senior was assessed a technical foul in the third quarter and sat the rest of the game.
Kobe Young led Kamehameha with 19 points, including four triples, and seven rebounds.

kaiser was awarded 56 free throw attempts???
A lot of reaching on both sides. Kaiser took advantage once the fouls started piling up and continued to be aggressive while Kamehameha shot 3balls. Score could have been ugly if Kaiser could make fts
