Final 1 2 3 4  
Kailua (12-3, 17-10) 9 991239
Radford (10-3, 17-6) 7 12 13 1648
J. Bollinger 15 pts  3/4 FTs
K. Hoolulu 15 pts  3/4 FTs

For the fifth consecutive season, the Rams are in states.

Radford trailed after the first quarter, but outscored Kailua in each of the final three periods to post a 48-39 win in the quarterfinals of the OIA Division I playoffs.

Julissa Bollinger led a trio of Rams in double figures with 15 points, as Olena Umetsu hit for 14 points and a season-high four threes and leading scorer Jirah Villanueva added 11 more.

Defensively, the Rams held the Surfriders to under double digits in each of the first three quarters and limited Kiani Hoolulu to 15 points, two under her season average.

Free throw shooting was a bit of an issue for Radford, however, as they only hit six of 19 from the stripe. On the year, the Rams percentage at the line stands at just 48.9 percent.

Kailua can still qualify for state play with a win on Jan. 29, where they will face the loser of the Leilehua-Kahuku quarterfinal.
