Moani Durant finished the game with 14 points, seven rebounds and five assists. Josey Jacinto banked three 3-pointers to finish with 9 points.
Waimea led 13-10 at the end of the first quarter, only to have that lead taken away from them in the second. St. Andrews caught up in the second, leading into the half by 1.
St. Andrews shot up in the third outscoring Waimea 13 to 7. But it wasn’t enough, as Waimea went on a scoring spree to finish on top.
