Callaghan gets PacWest player of the week

Callaghan gets PacWest player of the week

UH-Hilo senior Ryley Callaghan was named the PacWest player of the week for men’s basketball.

The point guard, from Port Orchard, Wash., played a key role in the Vulcans’ 80-76 win over No. 19 Western Washington, scoring a team-high 31 points. Callaghan scored 25 points in the second half and made two free throws in the final seconds to clinch the victory.

He made 6 of 8 from 3-point territory and added five rebounds and four assists. In UHH’s 87-75 loss to Simon Fraser the previous night, Callaghan had 13 points and four assists.

The Vuls were one of two PacWest teams to defeat opponents ranked in the Top 25.

In a story on Hilo football coach Kaeo Drummondo, it was incorrectly written that he was a Hilo High graduate.

Drummondo is a Kamehameha-Kapalama graduate.
