BIIF Division I girls basketball playoffs: Hot-shooting Hilo burns Honokaa in semis

Hilo had one of those basketball shooting nights when almost any shot fired touched nothing but net.

Behind red-hot 59 percent shooting, the No. 2 seed Vikings toppled No. 3 Honokaa 48-28 in the BIIF Division I semifinals on Friday, setting up their annual championship battle with Konawaena.

In the other semifinal, the No. 1 Wildcats defeated No. 4 Waiakea 60-19 and await Hilo in the BIIF championship for the fourth year in a row.

Hilo (10-1) earned its fourth consecutive berth to the HHSAA D-I state tournament, which will be held Feb. 9-12 on Oahu.
