By Paul Honda on January 23, 2018

Tani Almont-Done is a communicator. A heck of a communicator. It was that talent that helped Radford capture an OIA Division II girls basketball championship in 2011. She stepped down after that season, then emerged a few seasons later at nearby Moanalua. The effect has been about connection. In Delylah Sanerivi, a volleyball/basketball standout, she has a poised, tough and consistent producer in the paint. The 5-foot-10 senior had 21 points and 16 rebounds in her biggest game to date, […]

By Paul Honda on January 22, 2018

The ILH playoffs are humming and Kamehameha is in potential elimination mode. The Warriors will travel to ‘Iolani today in second-round action of the playoff tournament.
