Kamehameha was protecting a one-goal lead and looking for breathing room coming out of a timeout late in the fourth quarter of the April 23 BIIF championship match against Hawaii Prep.
When the ball was put in play for the Warriors, coach Dan Lyons clearly wanted only one player to handle it.
“Kubo, KUbo, KUBo, KUBO,” Lyons shouted with increasing volume.
That’s Katelynn Kubo – not Kaitlyn as was sometimes reported.
“Two ‘Ns,’” Kubo joked. “Extra special.”
So was the play. Kubo propelled around two defenders, using a nifty up-and-under move to get inside and bury a goal.
