Mahalo for understanding my long post that can easily pass for gibberish. There’s no question how much potential the Lady Raiders have. But their youth is like no other girls varsity team I’ve seen so far this season. Maybe Konawaena and Waiakea compare. Konawaena’s frontcourt is all underclassmen. Waiakea has zero seniors and only four juniors. Every time I see Kahuku it’s impressive to see the improvement they make from week to week. If they cut those turnovers in half, that’s probably +8 to +12 more points per game. Huge. Not to mention fewer fastbreak opportunities for opposing teams off those giveaways. It would not surprise me if Kahuku has one of the top 5 scoring efficiencies in the state when not turning the ball over. Anyway, the video highlights are ready.

You’re right. Kahuku played man-to-man in the first quarter and 1-3-1 zone the rest of the night. I’ll make that distinction in the story. Mahalo.

I thought the officiating was very one sided. At one point before Kalani started to foul late in the 4th quarter on purpose to stop the clock, the foul count was 24 – 7. That’s a huge disparity. It seemed the size advantage that Kahuku had really affected the way the officials reffed this game. Kahuku kids would barely touch the Kalani kids and there was a foul. On the other end, Kalani kids would bump Kahuku kids, often forcing them off their line and no foul was called. The Kalani guards were able to handcheck the Kahuku guards and often use one of their hands to steer them. That’s a foul.

Overall pretty exciting game.
