Another unbeaten has fallen in O'ahu Interscholastic Association Western Division boys basketball, as Pearl City knocked off Mililani, 49-42, last night at McKinley's Student Council Gym.
Mililani, in a three-way tie for No. 7 in The Advertiser's statewide Top 10 poll of coaches and media, fell to 3-1 while Pearl City improved to 4-1.
Ernie Vidinha scored a game high 17 points, grabbed nine rebounds and dished out three assists to lead the Chargers to victory.
Vidinha's layup with 15 seconds remaining in the third period gave Pearl City a 35-34 lead, and the Chargers never trailed again.
