JV Quint Displays Finest OIA Score Card

  Following the ascending basketball trend, the junior cagers reversed last year’s 6-8 mark for their finest OIA season.

  Maryknoll, Moanalua, Aiea, Mililani, Mid-Pacific and Campbell fell to the JV Tigers, with only Damien edging McKinley by a  bucket, for a 6-1 preseason score. Second-year Head Coach Alvin Tokuda emptied his bench as the Tiger Cubs romped over the Kahuku Red Raiders. Hit hard by the flu epidemic, the jayvees were overcome by their following three adversaries before squeaking past Roosevelt.

  The Cub cage team tallied 20 points in the final period to upset an undefeated 5-0 Kaimuki five. Although outscored 14-3, the jayvees held back a fourth quarter Kaiser rally to slip past the Cougars.  Kailua scored an outrageous 28 points to defeat the junior Tigers. Castle slid past McKinley by a mere five points.  After the Cubs lead 28-22 at the half, Kaimuki mounted an incredible 24 points to McKinley’s 15.

  The jayvees retaliated a previous first-round loss to Kalani and passed the Kaiser quintet before falling to the Roosevelt cagers.  The season ended on a winning note over Farrington, dealing the JV cagers an impressive eight win and six loss record.

Attitude, Confidence Lead Varsity Basketball Team To Two Upset Victories

 McKinley basketball took a turn for the better as the Tigers broke a 35-game losing streak with two upset victories over Roosevelt and Kailua.

 Sporting seven returnees, the cagers looked to a rewarding year after posting four consecutive triumphs for a 6-4 preseason mark.

 High hopes were shattered as the Micks fell to Kahuku's foul line shooting in the season opener. McKinley bowed to Windward District powerhouse Kalaheo in a tough contest. In a most controversial game, Farrington acquired its first victory at the Tiger's expense. A late McKinley rally could not stifle a 20-point Kalani lead, only coming close as six points at the buzzer's sound.

 The Tiger five proved that winning was indeed possible by surmounting Roosevelt with a dozen Mick points. The hot-shooting Bulldogs of Kaimuki upset McKinley in a highly aggressive battle. Fronting a reorganized line-up, the cagers registered their second season victory over Kailua, a 48-46 conquest in preseason.

 The Knights of Castle dethroned McKinley in an uneven match. The Tiger machine grew cold after possessing a 26-20 lead over Kaimuki at half time. Honolulu leader Kalani
demonstrated its district domination by again frustrating the Mick cage team. McKinley fell nine short of Kaiser, improving a 29-point deficit suffered earlier in the first round.

 Roosevelt avenged the Tiger five by defeating McKinley by the precise margin. The machinery again withered as Farrington shaded the Micks, to compile a 2-12 record.

 The Tigers averaged a staggering 20 fouls per game, resulting in three-point plays for the opposition. But second-year Head Coach Tony Andrade observed noticeable improvement in the cagers, three of whom will be three-year veterans next year.
