Kalaheo (10-2) plays resurgent Campbell (10-1) at 7:30 tonight in the OIA's second semifinal at McKinley's Student Council Gym. Kahuku (11-1) meets OIA East rival Kaimuki (10-3) in the first semifinal at 6.

Both games will be televised live on OC-16.

Kalaheo has won 12 of the past 14 state championships and has qualified for the 12-team state tournament every season since 1990. In past years, however, the Mustangs were led by a dominant All-State caliber player like the five mentioned above.

There is no such player on this year's team.

"They just have a great system, and the kids buy into it and win with discipline and execution," said Kahuku coach Nathan James on Feb. 2, minutes after his Red Raiders defeated the Mustangs, 57-55, for the first time in 15 years. "That's what they have at Kalaheo, and that's why you can never count them out. Just when you think they don't have good players, that's when they're most dangerous."

Here is a look at tonight's semifinals:

KAHUKU vs. KAIMUKI

Advertiser Top 10 ranking: Kahuku No. 4, Kaimuki No. 10

OIA titles: Kahuku 4 (1964, 1966-68), Kaimuki 1 (1993)

Outlook: Kahuku's only loss was a 54-53 upset by Roosevelt on Jan. 28. The Red Raiders are very athletic as usual, but this year's team also is capable of running a disciplined half-court set that will use several passes around the perimeter before finding the open shot. Swingman Okesene "Junior" Ale is a fluid 6-foot-1 scorer who can weave his way through the lane for layups or set up on the outside to bury a 3-pointer. Brothers Kevin (6-2) and Devin (6-1) Unga are strong and athletic in the post, and guards Clinton Parks (5-10) and Shayne Hayden (6-1) each can handle the ball and drain the 3-point shot. Kahuku also has a deep bench and all five players on the court can run the break. Kaimuki is similarly athletic, and has a physically dominant post player in center Jon Torres. The Bulldogs also have postseason experience, having qualified for the past three state tournaments. Point guard Kekoa Onaga, shooting guard Jordan Wong and swingman Isaiah Ano saw significant action in last year's playoffs and are particularly dangerous in the open court. Forward Shaun Dela Cazada can score and rebound underneath, and Kalani Ahmad provides ball-handling and 3-point shooting off the bench. Kahuku won the regular-season meeting, 66-50, on Feb. 6.

CAMPBELL vs. KALAHEO

Advertiser Top 10 ranking: Campbell No. 5, Kalaheo No. 7

OIA titles: Campbell none, Kalaheo 16 (1976, 1984-86, 1991-92, 1994-99, 2001-04)

Outlook: Campbell has won seven straight games since its only loss, a 63-55 home defeat to Radford on Jan. 15. The Sabers have all the elements — size, speed, shooting and depth — to make a run at their first OIA crown. They are led by 6-2 wing Tristan Bailey, a 3-point shooter who also can drive and pull up for the medium-range jumper. Campbell has size in the post, with 6-8 Daniel Phillips and 6-3 Ikaika Shelton, a transfer from Kamehameha, and quick guards in Mark Sealy and James Bannister who can run the break. Kalaheo has made steady and significant progress since suffering a few lopsided losses before the regular season. Different players have stepped into scoring roles, the latest being 6-foot senior wing David Moore, who has scored more than 20 points in each of the past two games. Junior guard Marvin Judd also has a couple of 20-point games to his credit. Point guard Chris Tumaneng uses his quickness to make steals and slash through the lane, and sophomore Tyler Caswell (6-5) is developing a presence in the post. Swingman Elias David (5-9) is a leaper who can sink the medium-range shot and help with rebounds. The Mustangs may lack the star power of past championship teams, but their trademark full-court zone press still allows them to give opponents major problems.
