Waimea 75, Assets 17
Josh Vinzant and Winnie Arios each dropped 10 points and Darwin Tutop brought down 10 rebounds to lead the Waimea Menehunes to a 75-17 drubbing of Assets School last night in the first game of the Kapa’a tournament.
Waimea opened up a 19-3 cushion in the first quarter, stemming from three buckets and two rebounds from big man Jordan Dizon. The Menehunes applied intense full-court pressure throughout the first half, and it proved to be too much for Assets, who were down 35-6 at the half.
The Menehunes kept rolling in the third, outscoring Assets by 26 points going into the fourth.
Waimea would allow Assets only four fourth quarter points and would go on to a 75-17 win and a 4-0 preseason record.
Molokai 70, Kapa’a B 17
There’s no better way to prepare your athletes for the varsity level than to send them out against the firing range while they’re still young.
That’s what Kapa’a did with its Junior Varsity team last night, who faced Molokai’s best at the Bernice Hundley gymnasium.
Although the young Warriors challenged Molokai, they were down 18-6 after the first quarter. Kapa’a only scraped one bucket in the second, but they were able to hold the Farmers to seven-points in the period.
Molokai picked up its intensity in the second half.
They scored 45 points in two quarters to Kapa’a’s seven and rolled to a 70-17 victory.
A bit lopsided, but a solid showing for Kapa’a’s future varsity ballers.
Kapa’a A 62, Acadamy-Pacific 32
Dahson Gonzales had nine points on 2-4 shooting and Seth Yamamoto snagged nine rebounds to help roll the Kapa’a Warriors to a 62-32 win over Acadamy of the Pacific last night at Kapa’a’s gym.
Kapa’a turned the ball over eight times in the first quarter but was still able to eck out a 13-6 lead going into the second quarter. Acadamy’s whopping 15 turnovers might have been a reason for the Warrior’s initial success.
The Warriors were able to remain in the lead, amassing a 35-18 cushion before the half. Garret Danner hounded Acadamy guards throughout the second, forcing five turnovers which turned into offensive opportunities for Kapa’a.
Acadamy was outscored 7-3 in the third, and despite a short lived run in the fourth, the visiting team fell 62-32 to the now 4-0 Kapa’a Warriors.
