BIIF girls basketball: Hilo finishes 3-0 run at Waiakea tournament

Hilo’s girls made it a clean sweep Saturday, wrapping up the unofficial title at the Waiakea Winter Goodwill Tournament.

Getting a preseason look at their new BIIF Division I rival, the Vikings overcame a sluggish start to beat Honokaa 47-37. Lexi Pana and Sharlei Graham-Bernisto each finished with six points, and Kizzah Maltezo led the Dragons with 16.

Hilo previously defeated Waiakea and Kamehameha-Hawaii at the tournament. The Dragons were 2-1, getting double-figure scoring from Maltezo, a senior guard, in each game.

All four teams will be back in action at Hilo’s preseason tournament, which runs Thursday-Saturday at the Vikings’ gym and Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium.
