Kamuela Kaaihue scored 16 points with eight rebounds and Kody Seguancia had 12 points and stuffed the stat sheet with five boards, five assists and five steals to help Roosevelt fend off visiting Kaimuki, 44-39, in an OIA East contest Tuesday night.

The Rough Riders (3-1 OIA D1 East) held a 33-19 lead after three quarter before the Bulldogs (2-2 OIA D2 East) mounted a comeback bid behind their full-court press.

Kaaihue was a valuable safety valve in Roosevelt's press breaker as he scored eight of his game-high 16 points in the fourth quarter.

Rashawn Fritz-Betiru led Kaimuki in the loss with 13 points.
