KEALAKEKUA — After a tough Iolani Classic that saw Konawaena drop two of four games, including a 40 point loss to the No. 2 ranked team in the nation, Archbishop Mitty (Calif.), the Wildcats rebounded on Tuesday, opening the BIIF regular season with a dominating 54-31 victory over visiting Kamehameha-Hawaii at Ellison Onizuka gym.
“The loss (to Archbishop Mitty) was a humbling experience,” said Konawaena head coach Bobbie Awa. “We got our butts whipped but it was a learning lesson. We have to learn to not played scared. You cannot walk on the court and think that an opponent is better than you just because they are taller than you.
