Preps: Kailua wins first OIA girls DII soccer title

By Leila Wai
Advertiser Staff Writer

Kailua won its first O'ahu Interscholastic Association girls soccer title today and its players rewarded co-head coach Wil Kimura with an ice bath in appreciation.

Kailua defeated Wai'anae, 3-0, in the OIA White Division (II) Championships at Roosevelt's Ticky Vasconcellos Stadium in a showdown between the East and West champions.

"If you get water thrown on you, you must be doing something right," Kimura said.

Kailua (8-0-0) and Wai'anae (7-2-2) already qualified for the HHSAA Division II state tournament, which will be held Feb. 4 to 7 at the Waipi'o Peninsula Soccer Complex. Third-place Radford (5-3-4), which defeated Nanakuli, 2-1, Friday, also earned a state berth.
