There will be big-game basketball options on Monday around the island for local fans, who can attend a rematch of the BIIF championship in Kealakekua, a Division II hare-and-turtle dogfight in Waimea, or an HHSAA girls state of the union address in Hilo.
Behind all-around improvement from Austin Aukai, a senior guard, Konawaena is looking like the uptempo powerhouse that pocketed BIIF Division I titles from 2013 to ’15, not the unfamiliar version with the same parts that fell flat to Waiakea in the championship last season.
The Wildcats (9-0) host the Warriors (7-2) at about 7:30 p.
