The New Year kicks off with several interesting BIIF basketball games, including a Division I showdown between last season’s champion against the cellar dweller.
The three-time BIIF champion Wildcats (1-1) host the Vikings (1-1) on Saturday night at Ellison Onizuka Gym with the loser remaining in last place in what’s shaping up to be a season filled with parity.
In a 60-44 loss to Waiakea, it was made clear that Konawaena, although young and still talented, is a different version from last year. The graduation loss of Kevin Medeiros leaves the Wildcats without a long-distance gunner.
