Kapaa defeats Hawaii Baptist in double OT in D-II

It went back and forth yesterday between No. 4 seed Kapaa and Hawaii Baptist, complete with dramatic shots at the end of regulation and the first overtime.

In the end, Kapaa found a way to pull out a 60-54 victory the Division II quarterfinals of the Hawaiian Airlines/HHSAA Girls Basketball State Championships at Farrington gym.

"They pulled out a nice win," said first-year Kapaa coach Williams Aki Jr. "No matter the outcome I would have been proud of them.

"We’re on an emotional high going into the next round. I’m more exhausted than them."

In the second overtime, the Warriors scored the first six points to take a 54-48 lead. Of Kapaa’s 12 second-overtime points, 10 came from the free-throw line, including five from Kekai Gonsalves.

In the first overtime, Kapaa scored the first five points, including four from Reggie McCabe, to take a 46-41 lead.

The Eagles stayed close thanks to shaky free-throw shooting down the stretch by the Warriors, who shot 4-for-10 in the first overtime.

Hawaii Baptist had the ball with under 10 seconds remaining and trailing 48-45. Kayla Yamamoto got the ball and hit Amber Au, who hit a wide open 3-pointer from the right corner with 4 seconds left to send it into a second overtime. It was Au’s first field goal of the game.

In regulation, Hawaii Baptist had the ball with 40 seconds remaining and the score tied at 39. Yamamoto hit Jennifer Uehara in the post for a bucket with 25 seconds left.

The Eagles’ Kimberly Au got a steal on the next possession, but Hawaii Baptist missed two free throws with 13.4 seconds left.

Kapaa brought the ball down the floor and McCabe hit Ethelyn Calvan in the lane for a basket with 7 seconds left. It was Calvan’s first points of the game.
