WHITE CONFERENCE
The favorite: Kahuku. Despite struggles early on — losses to Clovis West (Calif.) 78-36, 'Iolani 51-40 and Mid-Pacific 70-46 — the Lady Raiders have plenty of size and skill.
Last year's team (21-3, 14-1 OIA White) dominated the conference before losing a 60-56 stunner to Kapaa in the state quarterfinals. Coach Junior Avei is trying to transform his team into a consistent, aggressive, high-octane performer.
With such an early start, however, Kahuku won't be any different from other OIA teams still trying to establish a foundation with just a few weeks of practices. In time, Kahuku could emerge as one of the best teams in the state regardless of classification.
