Last season, Keaau started with a 2-1 record and imagined a major turnaround after consecutive winless years.
It didn’t happen. The Cougars lost their final four BIIF games, but at least progress was made and a hard lesson learned.
“We beat HPA in our first game but set our goal too short. Our goal was to win one game,” coach Leo Abellera said. “We didn’t know where to go. After we won our second game, we got a little carried away. We started looking at the stars with big eyes. We forgot to stick with the basic fundamentals and took too many shortcuts.
