Kamehameha sophomore Taylor Sullivan may not score the most points. But she’s always the team leader in energy, and that was obvious on Thursday night at Waiakea High’s gym.
Behind their blueprint of Sullivan’s contagious intensity, ball pressure and depth, the Warriors walloped St. Francis 65-36 in the quarterfinals at the HHSAA Division II state girls basketball tournament.
The No. 2 seed and BIIF champion Warriors (9-4) play ILH runner-up Mid-Pacific (13-3) in the semifinals at 7 p.m. Friday at Keaau High’s gym.
Saydee Aganus scored 16 points, Jordyn Mantz had 12 and Sullivan added 10 points for Kamehameha, which shot 55 percent (23 of 42) from the field and led 38-24 at halftime.
