When Hilo tried to trap Waiakea point guard Kelsie Imai, the 5-foot-6 sophomore floored it and raced to the basket time and again, showing an athleticism that makes it easy to score or set up others.
She didn’t always convert a layup but often did the next best thing in spacing the court and finding her mid-range shooters. Her fellow young Warriors knocked down enough shots and displayed their promising potential.
Waiakea outlasted the Vikings 39-34 at the Hilo High/Holiday Prep Classic on Friday night at Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium, where the two teams offered a preview to a likely clash in the BIIF Division I semifinals.
