Kamehameha, as always, is still trying to get there.
The Warriors twice matched Hawaii Prep play for play last year, pushing hard first at the BIIF Division II girls soccer championship game, and then in the state final.
But when it came to make the play, it was Ka Makani who made it.
“I feel like we had the pieces last year, and I feel like we have the pieces still,” first-year Warriors coach Joshua Woodard said. “Hawaii Prep just has an aura.”
It’s one of invincibility, and HPA has exhibited it seven years running while fashioning a dynasty.
