Boys basketball

See Friday’s boys basketball tournament scores HERE. This is one of those funky weekend/weeks of prep basketball. Because Christmas fell on a Thursday — and what working woman or man doesn’t appreciate getting the last two days of the week off at the end of a busy holiday season? — prep hoop tournaments are getting the split treatment. From Kalaepohaku to Kapunahou to Manoa Valley, tournaments are extending over the weekend and into next week. Roundball from mid-morning to late […]

Jordan Tanuvasa’s scoring highlighted Punahou’s victory over McKinley in the championship game of the Pete Smith Classic on Saturday. But Punahou coach Darren Matsuda also praised the other phases of his play at point guard after the 55-46 win at Kalaheo’s gym. “Especially in the second half he did an excellent job of distributing the ball, taking really good shots and being aggressive and that was the difference in the game,” Matsuda said. Tanuvasa opened the game by knocking down […]

After pulling away late in semifinal victories, top-ranked Punahou and upstart McKinley will meet for the Pete Smith Classic championship on Saturday.

Even with two of its top scorers on the bench, Kalaheo advanced to the semifinals of the Pete Smith Classic with a 71-52 win over Leilehua on Thursday. Kaleb Gilmore and Kupaa Harrison haven’t suited up in the Mustangs’ two wins in the tournament due to injuries, but third-ranked Kalaheo got ample production from the rest of the roster against Anuenue on Tuesday and again in Thursday’s quarterfinal game at Kalaheo Gym. Senior guard Alec MacLeod went 8-for-10 from the […]
