Waiakea’s transition attack got going early, and Keaau couldn’t keep pace in basketball game that resembled a track meet.
Calvin Mattos scored 24 points, including 14 in the first half, as Waiakea ran past the Cougars 63–47 in a BIIF Division I game on Wednesday night at the Warriors Gym.
Like the other night with the girls (Waiakea beat Honokaa 39-30), it was a key game for the Warriors who get the tiebreaker edge for the four-team BIIF playoffs.
William Soares added 10 points and Treysen Ishimoto had eight for the Warriors (2-0), who converted 54 percent (25 of 46) from the field and sank 10 of 16 free throws.
