Every Iolani coach in a black collard shirt won at least one state championship and looked to share the tradition with the current Raiders. For the first time in more than the decade Iolani great Coach Dr.Muguishi sat in the stands while Dean Shimamota lead his team to a 43-40 victory over Farrington. Iolani was lead by Ikaika Phillip with 15 points followed by Zach Buscher with 11 points. Behind the scenes players like Erik Yamada, Robby Mann, Hugh Hogland, and Pikai Winchester were the reason why Iolani was able to finish number one. Looking in to next the Raiders loose key scorers Ikaika Phillip, Zach Buscher, and Chris Gallacher but have great underclassmen talent coming up. Chris can be replaced by Zach Gelacio who posses the talent to be one of the top guards in the stae. Robert Mann will be the main scorer next year and can fill the shoes of Ikaika Phillip. Shane Lay has the talent and size to replace Zach Buscher. 6'7" freshmen Hugh Hogland has huge potential and will only get better. But the key to next year will be Erik Yamada who has been the backbone of this team since he was just a freshmen. Although not many points are scored by Yamada, he is the general of the team. Exciting future for the Raiders in the upcoming seasons.
