ILH Girls Basketball: Iolani vs. Punahou

Jamie SmithUpdate: Despite jumping out to an 11-0 first quarter lead, Iolani fell to the Punahou Buffanblu 49-31. The Raiders will host Senior Night at home on Tuesday night against Mid-Pacific in their final regular season game. The team will then enter the ILH Tournament to fight for the second berth to the state tournament. (Punahou is the ILH Champion and has an automatic berth to the state tournament.)

Round 3… Ding!

The No.1-ranked Iolani Girls Basketball team will take on the Punahou Buffanblu tomorrow evening, their third matchup this season, in a game that could very well determine the ILH Championship.

Having split their two previous matchups, the Raiders and Buffanblu are virtually tied in the standings with one loss each. Punahou (10-1), however, has one additional win under its belt and tomorrow’s game will close out their regular season. The Raiders (9-1) will play their final game against Mid-Pacific next Tuesday.

Since falling to the Buffanblu earlier this month, Iolani has won 8 straight games including a 48-35 victory over Punahou in their last meeting at home on January 12th.

Tip-off is set for 7:00pm at Punahou.
