St. Joseph coach Mike Scanlan started all of his backups because his team had a long day of doubleheader basketball, but there was one problem.

The Cardinals have only three backups, so regular starters Siam Thomas and Raycen Lum had to play major minutes against Honokaa, a running track team that is good at wearing opponents down.

No surprise, the Dragons capitalized on turnovers to crush the host team 73-44 in the final round of the St. Joseph Cardinal Classic on Saturday at Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium.

The height-challenged Cardinals played tall and physical Kailua, of the OIA, in the late game that ended after the Tribune-Herald’s deadline.
