Hawaii Preparatory Academy finally got the Warrior off its back.
Ka Makani downed BIIF rival Kamehameha 3-1 in the HHSAA Division II championship game at the Waipio Peninsula Soccer Complex on Oahu Saturday evening for their first state title in school history.
Hawaii Prep had lost their three previous meetings with the Warriors dating back to last season. Kamehameha also was the only blemish on Ka Makani’s 16-1-1 record this season.
Senior captain Justin Perry, who has been a pillar of Ka Makani’s championship construction project over the last four years, knew just how important it was to face and beat Kamehameha in the title game.
