BIIF basketball: Konawaena races past turnover-prone Hilo

It was uptempo basketball at its finest for Konawaena, which relied on its punishing defense and ran past Hilo in a showdown of unbeatens.

The Wildcats stormed by the Vikings 62-32 in a BIIF game on Friday night, remaining atop the Division I standings and showing their championship experience.

Austin Akau scored 15 points, Kamakana Ching 12 while Austin Ewing and Hauoli Akau had nine points each for the Wildcats (3-0), who hit 45 percent (22 of 49) from the field, frequently working the ball inside for clean looks.

Lawrence Padasdao and Liko Medeiros scored six points each while Isaac Liu was held to just two points for the Vikings (2-1), who shot 30 percent (10 of 33) from the floor, including 1 of 8 in the third quarter, often missing turnaround jump shots.
