Iolani and Konawaena have earned a trilogy bout.

The top two seeds in the Heide & Cooke/HHSAA girls basketball championships held off challengers in Campbell and Kamehameha in Thursday’s semifinals at McKinley to set up a clash at the Stan Sheriff Center at 7 p.m. Friday.

It will be the third straight final of the tournament contested between the Raiders of the ILH and the Wildcats of the BIIF, with the Raiders prevailing in 2022 and 2020. No tournament was held in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Iolani (14-3), which got 23 points and 13 rebounds from forward Mele Sake in a 41-33 win over OIA champion Campbell, is going for a fourth straight title, and its eighth overall.

After Campbell (14-1) led by three at halftime in a low-scoring game, coach Dean Young’s Raiders, who didn’t hit a 3-pointer all night, turned it on in the second half. Callie Pieper scored nine and grabbed eight boards to help make up for a quiet outing from guards, Paige Oh and Haylie-Anne Ohta, who were a combined 1-for-10 from the field.

Konawaena (14-0), meanwhile, hit seven 3-pointers to stave off a stiff challenge from ILH runner-up Kamehameha (11-9) and put itself in position for a 10th championship, all since 2004.

The Warriors pounded the offensive glass relentlessly — they got 20 rebounds on that end — and led by four at halftime.

Coach Bobbie Awa’s experienced squad battled back with a 13-4 tally in the third quarter.

The Wildcats were led in the scoring column by Braelyn Kauhi, who despite a poor shooting night, finished with 12 points. Haikela Hiraishi and Kaanoipua Leleiwi each had nine and Angelie Molina eight.

Kamehameha forward Nihoaokealii Dunn led her team with 12 points and 13 rebounds, including five offensive.

Last year's championship between Iolani and Konawaena, won 28-17 by the Raiders, was the lowest-scoring title game in state history.
