KEAAU – Patience is a virtue and a way of life for the Pahoa boys basketball team, which relies on disciplined shot selection and team defense.
Unlike other BIIF teams, the Daggers rarely have a deep bench and prefer to not risk picking up quick fouls with a press-defense transition game. That means they don’t get a lot of layups for easy buckets, and work hard for their points.
Their biggest strength, perhaps, is their adaptability, beating two contrasting teams that were more athletic and much taller to win the BIIF Division II championship last season, their second after their inaugural one in 2011.
