KALAHEO—The 3rd Annual Kaua`i Youth Basketball Association

Kalaheo Neighborhood Center with the Hoops Pa`ina team from Oahu looking to
3-peat the tournament.
Kaua`i teams, with the exception of the Puhi
Wildcats, fell victim to the quick-moving, solid playing of three teams from
Oahu, and one visiting from Kona as Hoops Pa`ina exploded from the onset to
topple the Westside Hornets 76-31 behind the high pointing of Waikoloa Noa’s 20
points.
Ryan Hirata contributed 17 points to the victory run.

Hepa and Alfred Farias combined for 18 points for the Westside Hornets.

on Aren Racca’s 13 points and Aukai Dennis 11 points to reap a 51-31 showing
against the Pearl City Highlanders.
Matt Sato and Michael Hardy combined
for 17 points to lead the Highlanders.
Jimmy Miyasaka chalked up 14 points,
and Doug Adachi followed a digit back at 13 points to lead the Kaimuki
Community Park team to a 55-32 showing over the Kaumakani Supersonics in the
evening’s third game.
Jeremy Manuel had 9 points followed by Jordon Dizon
with 8 points for the Supersonics.
The Kona Tigers surged at the top end to
wrap up a 49-34 win over the Kalaheo Pistons in the finale.
Chasing two
points at the end of the first period, the Pistons outshot Kona 11-8 in the
second period behind the hand of Desmond Rodrigues’ 5 points and Ricky Riopta’s
4 points before succumbing to the Tigers.
Kyle Teves tallied 14 points in
the win with Cody Henriques helping the cause with 13 markers.
Rodrigues
outgunned the Kona shooters with 15 points in the loss with Riopta helping out
on a 12-point effort.
At the end of the second day of the 3-day tournament,
all Kaua`i teams were handed losses, as the Puhi Wildcats fell victim to the
Kaimuki Community Park 60-27.
Hoops Pa`ina continued on their winning
streak by taking the Kona Tigers 54-38.
