Tiger kickers capture fifth OIA; fourth state runner-up honor

Soccer

 Winning OIA titles seems to have become a McKinley Soccer Team tradition over the past five
years, but State titles are always beyond its reach as it won its fifth straight OIA crown but lost in its bid for the State title for the fifth year in a row.

 A 1-0 win over Kailua opened the season and started a string of nine consecutive wins. The next five victories were over Roosevelt, 5-1, Mililani, 10-0, Pearl City, 4-1, and Moanalua, 7-1.

 The next game against Kaiser 4-3 was the closest that any of the previous teams had come to
beating the seemingly unbeatable Mick kickers. Two more solid wins over Kalani, 5-2, and
Farrington, 4-2, sent the Micks on a collision course with Leilehua, in the OIA race.

 A win over Leilehua would have clinched the OIA but the two powerhouses battled to a 1-1 stand off. McKinley finished regular season play with a decisive 4-1 win over Castle.

 Sporting identical 10-0-1 (won-lost-tied) records, McKinley and Leilehua clashed again for the
OIA title but this time, the Tigers came up victorious over the Mules 3-0.

 The Micks entered the State Tourney by beating Konawaena, 4-3 in double overtime, then went on to face Punahou in the finals. The Tigers tried hard but lost a heartbreaking game to the Puns,
2-1, for the second year in a row.

Jayvees rate best OIA record ever 

Jayvee Basketball

 The Jayve hoopsters, under new Head Coach Jacob Hoopai, moved from a 8-6 record last year to a 9-5 record in their best season since 1970.

 The season opened with a victory over Kahuku 69-55, and a loss to Kalaheo 55-47. Victories over Farrington 76-51, and Kalani, 42-41, followed before a loss to Roosevelt 48-41. The Cubs ended their first round with a loss to Kaimuki 62-54, and a victory over Kaiser 69-49.

 In the second round, the Micks lost the opener to Kailua, 49-37, Castle 60-46, and Kaiser, 61-41.

 With the experience of the jayvees, the '77-'78 varsity team should have some good prospects in outstanding players such as Arthur Rosa, Guy Aleka and Wesley Nagao.

 They ended the season with a second loss to Roosevelt, 61-58, and a win over Farrington, 71-64 ended the season.

 Coach Hoopai throughout the entire season proved that experience was not needed to boast a winning season.

 As for the Jayvee, with only a few freshman, it will be another year of rebuilding and hoping for new talent to come along.
