Of the 156 games played during BIIF boys basketball regular season, arguably no triumph was more impressive than Konawaena’s 62-41 home victory against Kamehameha on Jan. 20.
“That was the first game where we really put it all together,” Wildcats coach Donny Awa said. “Kamehameha was as good as any team we’ve seen all season.”
Seeking their fourth consecutive BIIF Division I championship, Konawaena (11-1) takes on the Warriors (9-3) in the 7 p.m. nightcap at 7 p.m. Friday in the semifinals at Hilo Civic.
Kamehameha beat the Wildcats in the championship game of the Cardinal Classic behind Bayley Manliguis’ 26 points, but Konawaena has won 10 in a row since a loss at Waiakea.
