When Kealakehe’s boys basketball team walks around off the court, one thing stands out: the Waveriders pass the look test.
The key for Kealakehe this season will be maximizing its potential so it can look as good on the court.
“We are blessed to have them,” first-year coach Daniel Kamakau said Saturday after his team’s preseason finale, a 46-42 loss to Kohala.
Kamakau was eluding to the opportunity to lead young men, but he just as well could have been talking about his team’s size or senior leadership.
From 6-foot-5 junior center Abraham Kalavi on down, few BIIF teams will be as physically imposing as the Waveriders, and they have eight seniors.
