Mike Thomas showed up for his Hawaii College Basketball Summer League game on Saturday night hoping to get a good workout. He got a full 40 minutes worth.
Thomas, who is preparing for his senior season with the University of Hawai’i basketball team, scored 26 points although his National Fire Protection Co. team lost to Clark Hatch Fitness, 103-90.
It was the first Summer League game of this year for Thomas, a 6-foot-7 forward who will be the lone returning starter for UH in the 2016-17 season. Only five players showed up for National Fire, including 2016 Kaiser High School graduates Chance Kalaugher and Keoua Mahiko.
