Defending boys champion Waiakea fought past rival Hilo 2-1 in a key Big Island Interscholastic Federation bowling match on Saturday at Hilo Lanes.
It was the second straight week that the Warriors, under new coach Tracy Nakashima, had battled past one of the league’s title contenders. Last week at Kona Bowl, Waiakea edged Kealakehe 2-1 with Kylan Sakata leading the way with a 217-203-184—604 series. Garyn Hoota had a high game of 184 and teammate Jhumar Martinez added a 169.
In the clutch win over Hilo, John Kaipo (188, 223) had a 578 series to lead Waiakea while teammates Ashton Flores (190) and Prayse Chung (171, 160) also had rock solid games.
Davin Yagi (196-147-180—523) and Kendrick Dacayanan (183-192-146—521) led the Damien Chow-coached Vikings.
It was incorrectly reported in Tuesday’s BIIF bowling story that Hilo defeated Waiakea.
Also, Hilo’s Kylie Fujiyoshi had a good day, with high games of 192 and 193 that helped the Vikings top Waiakea 3-0 in their match Saturday. Fujiyoshi’s scores were not listed among the high scorers in Tuesday’s bowling roundup.
“Occasionally a score may get switched or be left out,” T-H sports editor Bill O’Rear said. “We apologize for the error and appreciate the strong support that the student-athletes get from their coaches, parents, grandparents and friends.
“St. Joseph’s Chloe Thurston and Jacob Doolittle have done a terrific job of getting the Trib the results in a timely manner. However, if any coach, athletic director or parent sees a bowling error, please let someone know so that it can be corrected.”
Upcoming action
BIIF action continues this Saturday at Hilo Lanes. At 10 a.m., it’s St. Joseph vs. Konawaena, Kamehameha vs. Keaau and Pahoa vs. Kealakehe. At 1 p.m., it’s St. Joseph vs. Waiakea, Kamehameha vs. Konawaena and Ka‘u vs. Kealakehe.
