Chanelle Molina and Mercedes “Ihi” Victor each scored 20 points in Kealakekua as the Wildcats coasted to their 64th straight league victory, 69-30 over Kohala.
With two regular-season games remaining — Senior night is Monday against Keaau — Konawaena (9-0) is a win away from clinching the top seed in the BIIF Division I tournament and a berth at the Hawaii High School Athletic Association tournament.
Jenni Fong and Hauoli Sproat-Lancaster each managed seven points for the Cowgirls, who already have secured a spot in the four-team Division II league playoffs.

Macey Mokuhalii and Erleen Oguma led the Daggers (2-7) with four points apiece.
