Kealakehe is just happy to be home. After a tough 2016 season, both on and off the diamond, the Waveriders finally get to return to their field where the year long renovation is finally over. Kealakehe did not play a home game last season, going 2-9 while constantly dealing with the pressures of travel and missing class.
It was also sort of a rebuilding year for the Waveriders, who started three or four freshmen in nearly every game.
“The speed of the game was a little too quick for them last year. They needed to learn the details of the game,” said Kealekehe head coach Josh Hansen.
