KEALAKEKUA — There is now only one team that can claim to be unbeaten in the BIIF.
Behind an early strike from Emi Higgins and a late tally from Teah Van Bergen, Hawaii Preparatory Academy (7-0) held off a scrappy Konawaena (5-1-1) squad 2-1 on Wednesday night at Julian Yates field.
Hawaii Prep, the four-time defending D-II state champions, had been downright dominant during their opening six games of league play, outscoring BIIF opponents by a combined score of 40-2. Ka Makani’s last BIIF game was on Dec. 20, and their last competitive game was a 2-0 win over Waiakea nearly a month ago, which could be a cause of concern for some teams.
