It was a busy and productive weekend for the Wildcats, as BIIF championships were on the line, in swimming, girls basketball and soccer.
The Girl's Soccer program was eliminated in the semi final with a tough loss at Waiakea 2-1 and finished their season with disappointment, in falling short of their pursuit of a 4th straight BIIF Championship. A very young team provides great promise for the future.
Girls Swimming qualified a relay team for the HHSAA State meet, and was well represented at the BIIF with the most medal count ever for the boys and girls team. HHSAA Tourney will take place at Kamehameha-Hawaii this weekend.
Girls Basketball, kept their string of 92 straight Big Island Interscholastic Federation Wins in place with an impressive victory over HILO HS. The Wildcat Girls head to Honolulu Tuesday-Friday for the HHSAA playoffs, where we are number One seeded and open plan on Wednesday February 10th at 7 PM at Moanalua HS in the quarter finals where they will face the winner of the first round winner of the Punahou-Farrington match up. (attached tournament brackets). It is my understanding all our games will be on OC 16, XCAST. If you aren't able to attend in person, you can be courtside with the OC 16 crew.
Boys Soccer are up this week with BIIF championship tournaments taking place on Wednesday the Boys Soccer are playing NUmber #1 seed Kealakehe at Kealakehe at 3 PM. in the semi finals. The finals will be on Saturday Feb. 13 also at Kealakehe.
Boys Basketball Championships are on Friday at the Civic Auditorium in Hilo, when the 2nd seeded Wildcats play Kamehameha-Hawaii in the semi finals at 5:30 PM. The BIIF Championship game will be on Saturday February 13 at 8 PM. A win Friday night will put the boys in the HHSAA tournament for an unprecedented 4th straight time and a shot at a 4th straight BIIF crown as well.
Wrestling will be a Waiakea HS on Saturday February 13th at 10 AM at the BIIF championship tournament
