This time, the Farrington Governors were all business and no drama.

Jeffrey Madarang scored 16 points, J.P. Saycon had 13 and Viane Vaina added 12 as No. 4 Farrington overpowered McKinley 51-35 last night to capture the Oahu Interscholastic Association White Conference championship.

It was a relatively easy game for the Governors compared to their three previous matchups with the Tigers. The teams split their regular-season series, and Farrington (21-4 overall) edged McKinley 49-48 last week in the playoffs. McKinley needed two wins over Farrington in the double-elimination format to claim the OIA crown.

"We played smarter. We played together," Govs coach Allan Silva said of his team’s tantrum and technical-foul free performance.

Defensive stopper Ryan Reyes, who made a game-saving block in the last win over McKinley, is out of the season with an ankle injury. The Govs didn’t seem to miss a beat, shooting 52 percent from the field (22-for-42).

"When somebody’s out, somebody else steps up," Silva said. "These guys stepped up."

Madarang was especially hot, raining three second-quarter 3-pointers over McKinley’s persistent 2-3 matchup zone.

"I was feeling it," the guard said. "I felt it in warmups, shooting outside. I just wanted to keep shooting."

Rio Kwon led the Tigers with 11 points and Alex Ironside added 10. The Tigers shot 23 percent from the field (10-for-44), including 4-for-23 from 3-point range.

Farrington dominated the boards, 35-20, thanks in part to Vaina, who had 12 rebounds.

A crowd of about 700 at McKinley Student Council Gym saw the home team dash to an 11-2 lead behind the aggressive play of Ironside, who made six free throws in the first 2 minutes of the game.

However, the Govs switched to a 2-3 matchup zone and rarely permitted an open look from the arc by McKinley. Madarang drilled two 3-pointers and came up with a steal, feeding Saycon for a behind-the-back layup on the break as Farrington went on an 18-0 run.

Madarang’s trey from the corner gave the Govs a 25-17 halftime lead. McKinley got within five after Kwon opened the second half with a 3-pointer, but Farrington countered with a 16-8 run. Saycon’s 3-pointer bounced in and the Govs led 41-28 early in the fourth quarter.

McKinley (19-10 overall) got no closer than 10 the rest of the way.

Both teams had already clinched berths in the eight-team Division II state tournament which opens Thursday. Seedings and pairings will be announced Sunday.
