KAILUA-KONA — Kealakehe has not lost to a league opponent in four years. That didn’t change Saturday.
The Waveriders topped Hilo 2-1 in the BIIF Division I championship game on a late goal from James Caudell to record its fifth consecutive title and ninth overall since 2004.
“We got it done,” said Kealakehe coach Urs Leuenberger. “Last minute of the game, five minutes into the game, it doesn’t matter when you score the winning goal. These boys are champions and they seem to find a way to finish it up, but hats off to Hilo. This was the best team I have ever seen from them.
