For Waianae, offensive patience is a must

By Nick Abramo on January 23, 2015

Waianae had patience to start Thursday’s game against Radford, but it didn’t last. The Seariders waited until their teammates got open in the early going in the 51-31 loss at the Rams’ gym, but by the second half, Waianae was giving up possessions left and right. It prompted Seariders coach Cyrilla Manuel to say afterward that: “turnovers killed us.” Yup, that’s what turnovers can do. And while Radford had some ball possession problems, they paled in comparison to Waianae’s. “It […]
