Scouting its first opponent Wednesday at the HHSAA Division II softball tournament, Kamehameha was in the stands to witness Aiea’s 17-run first inning against Konawaena.
“It scared me a bit,” senior ace Mykala Tokunaga said.
On Thursday the Warriors got their crack at Aiea, and they responded with the type of uprising that’s haunted the BIIF for five years running.
Even Tokunaga was surprised with the relative ease with which Kamehameha dispatched Na Alii, a 13-0 TKO victory in Kahului, Maui, putting the Warriors in the semifinals for the second consecutive season.
“We thought it was going to be hard,” Tokunaga said in a phone interview.
