I don’t agree with the writer’s assessment of Iolani. In the games I have seen, there are 2 players that stand out. Lily Wahinekapu and Jovi Lefotu.

Top level coaches script plays and create sequences where their best players get more touches and shots, especially from areas where their shooting percentage is higher.

In the games I’ve watched, you have options 3-6 taking as many, if not more, than options 1-2. That’s how you lose games.

Waiakea beat a solid Hilo team and absolutely hammered Kahuku.

The Iolani vs. Kahuku score is misleading. Anyone who saw that game saw Kahuku come out right and a little timid. Then played Iolani practically even in the second half.

Mindy Kawaha isn’t injured. She was out of the Kahuku game for personal reasons.

Maryknoll beat Kahuku at Kahuku and Leiah Naeata did not play.

Waiakea beat Hilo on the Big Island.

Tati Reyes is arguably the best player on Punahou. But their coach runs barely to zero sets for her which is why he has limited touches and is only scoring 4-5 ppg.

Seabury Hall just lost to Maui on Lanai. They are an okay team.

Kaiser now has 5 healthy bodies. Everyone else is injured.
