BIIF basketball: Before thinking title defense, Dragons focus on ball-security

Honokaa coach Jayme Carvalho’s good sense of humor takes over when his team keeps losing the grip on the basketball and too many turnovers follow.

The Dragons had a bit of ball-handling issues in a 54-32 loss to Kailua in the first round of the St. Joseph Cardinal Classic on Thursday at Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium.

The Surfriders, from the OIA, led 30-11 at halftime before charging in front 53-23 with under five minutes left.

“Our rotation is not set right now. We’re trying to find guys who can give us quality minutes and take care of the ball,” Carvalho said.
