Hilo had a good shot, make that two shots, to extend its season.
Waiakea survived a 68-66 thriller over the Vikings in the BIIF Division I boys basketball semifinals Friday, continuing a quest for its first league title since 2009.
With 6.5 seconds left, the Vikings inbounded from halfcourt and a perfect pass found Lawrence Padasdao in the right corner. The junior forward got a clean look and launched a shot, but it bounced off the rim.
Good fortune went to Hilo because Kaimana Kawaha was stationed at the left elbow. The ball bounced right to the senior guard, who grabbed the rebound and fired.
