Not Even Close!

Number 3 Iolani upsets number 2 Punahou 44-29 to clinch the number 2 seed in the ILH tournament.  After beating Punahou the last meeting the Raiders proved that they can handle business agaisnst a Punahou team with or without Punahous star big man Andrews.  Andrew, who was hurt in their last meeting with the raiders was held to just 6 points.  Many thought the Raiders would struggle without their starting center Kamuela Borden but 6'7" freshmen Hugh Hogland stepped up to the plate.  Punahou's stud Kamerin was help to just 2 points, one of his worst performances this year.  The Raiders were lead by Ikaika Phillip who put up 19 points and Zach Buscher who had 11 points.  

Defense Leads Kailua Over Moanalua

Kailua upsets formally number ten Moanalua 51-44 to clinch a playoff birth.  Kailua did a great job against Moanalua's Antoine Hines, Aaron Stuart, and Jamaal Willis.  All three of the states best scorers  were held well below their averages.  Moanalua season is not over but must turn things around if they want to be successful this season.  

Farrington Runs Over Kahuku for Top Seed

Farrington proves their ranking with a 60-39 win over a decent Kahuku team.  MVP canidate McEnroe scored 14 key points to lead his team to victory.  Farringtons point guard Isaiah Smith only scored six points but has been the unknown hero for the Governors this season because of his abilit to protect the rock, play defense, and command the offense to flow.  He is one of the best true point guard in the state.  A similar player is Junior Iolani guard Erik Yamada.  

Another Clutch Win for the Spartans

Number one Maryknoll defeats number two Punahou 55-51 in overtime.  Maryknoll is currently number one in the ILH and controls there own destiny.  Maryknoll was lead by Burnett (21 points) and Gilmore(19 points).  Punahou's own pair of studs Justin Kam (15 points) and Andrews (13 points) could not do enough against the best dual threat in the state.

Controversy with MPI

The Mid Pacific Owls have yet to win a game in ILH play. With the season coming to a close, the best the Owls can strive for is to play the  spoiler role. They could potentially win the ILH playoffs but with a rough regular season, that seems unlikely. MPI has the talent with one of the leagues top scorers senior guard Kyle Husslein and other key pieces. Sources say that there is team controversy however with the Owls. Coaches and players are not quite seeing eye to eye.

They will have to overcome thier differences if they want to make a run in the ILH playoffs.   

Buzzer Beater!

Josh Burnett displays his clutch gene this week against number 3 Iolani with a buzzer beating layup to lead the Spartens in a key victory.  Although Burnett only finished with  season low 11 points, the elite senior showed up where it mattered most.  The Raiders gave their best effort and need to have a couple huge wins in the ILH playoffs in order to have any shot at making states.  In the season ended today, the ILH representitives in sates would be Punahou and Maryknoll. Senior leader Zach Busher needs to take control of his teams destiny.
