All in all, with just six guys, then five, we were in this one until the final minute. We finished the game with Kekai, Cody, John, Kaelen and Chase.
Lanakila was missing a few players, but we were missing most of our starters. Yet, we played smart basketball most of the afternoon and that kept it close.
By the time Isaiah had to leave (with Coach Larry for their Ikaika League game), we were down 21-16 early in the second half. But the boys held the fort down. Kekai had his best game at the point and we got some transition baskets to stay close. After Cody banked in a 3, we were tied at 23-all.
It was a hot day and having bench makes a big difference. But our guys hung tough. If we make a few more buckets, make a few more free throws, we win this game. Job well done. Hopefully, next time we're down to a skeleton crew, we pull it out.
