HPA 6, Kamehameha 0: Ka Makani got goals from six different players on senior day in Waimea to improve to 4-0-1.
Aidan Santos bagged his sixth goal, Justin Heilmann netted his fifth, Noah Balaam his third, and Nate Lawton, Mason Hunt and Aidan Richardson also found the back of the net.
With seniors Kawehi Cabuzel and Nate Heymann alternating time at goalkeeper, HPA collected its third shutout in a row.
Coach James Berry also credited a “strong, veteran defense” – a group that includes Dominic DiDinato, Jordan Hanano and Noah Condon. Freshman Cooper Phillips has played strong as well Berry said.
Condon, a sophomore, reminds his coach of Sihkea Jim, the co-BIIF Division I player of the year as a senior in 2019.
“I’d be hard-pressed to remember a player so passionate and happy to be on the field,” Berry said. “My coaches refer to him as Sihkea 2.0.”
