KALAHEO — Silas Tacsiat and Ian Lactaotao combined for 23 points to lead the Eastside Warriors to a 42-27 win over the Waimea Second to None at the Tuesday night KYBA summer league games played at the Kalaheo Neighborhood Center.

Aiko Grande, playing the outside and inside, came up with a game-high 17 points to lead the Supersonics to a 35-29 victory over Na Wahine who was led by Christina Banach’s eight points.
Ashlyn Ubongen launched a 3-point buzzer bomb from 11 o’clock to put Na Wahine on top 13-10 at the half after Kaumakani battled back from a 4-point first quarter deficit with Grande leading the second quarter charge on a pair of field goals sparked by the hustle of guard Sera Pascual who generated numerous turnovers.
Hampered by the height of Banach who dominated the lane on both ends of the court, the scrappy Supersonics never let up, and took advantage of an early foul-out by Na Wahine’s Tiffany Ikeda-Simao with over three minutes left in the game to ice the victory from the free throw line.
