In 2012, Kamehameha started a baseball tradition that motivated the next pitcher in line. It also helped the Warriors to annually challenge for the HHSAA Division II state championship.
However, while the Warriors made serious runs for the title, they fell short because they lacked Grade A second-line pitching depth or enough impact bats that could hit good pitching.
That year was also the birth of the program’s senior ace tradition. In 2012, the ace was Kaimana Moike. The next season the senior ace was Kupono Decker. In 2014, Chay Toson took over, and Malu Peralta was the senior ace last season.
