3-pointer lifts Castle past Kailua for OIA White boys basketball title

Advertiser Staff

Nick Tuamoheloa hit a 3-pointer with 6.2 seconds left to lift Castle to a 37-36 win over Kailua today for the O'ahu Interscholastic Association White Division title at Radford.

Trailing 36-35, Castle's KJ Aipia penetrated and passed it out to Tuamoheloa, who was open in the left corner, and he hit the game-winner.

Kailua turned it over on their ensuing possession.

Castle improved to 14-3 and Kailua fell to 14-4. Both teams had already qualified for next week's Division II state tournament, which starts on Wednesday.
