Note on the Kalaheo-Kahuku game: I caught the second half and both teams played their reserves heavily. It’s been a busy two weeks playing in tournaments with little practice time for a lot of teams, so coaches are going to get everything they can out of these games.
Amador Valley (Calif.) and No. 6 Kamehameha-Hawaii tip off real soon, followed by Science Hill (Tenn.) and host St. Francis
