Kalaheo (10-1, 29-6) 17 16 9 1153




Kalaheo built a lead early and withstood a furious fourth quarter rally by Farrington to top the Govs for the fourth time this season, 53-46, eliminating the defending Division II champions from state tournament contention.

Jordyn Reindollar scored a game-high 16 points, all in the first half, to lead the way for the Mustangs, who led 33-19 at the half and by as many as 17 early in the 3rd period.

Farrington surged back into game, ignited by a buzzer-beating three-pointer by Mikey Kleman to close out the third quarter, and trimmed the lead to 46-43 with 1:43 left in regulation.

But Kalaheo made the most of their trips to the charity stripe in the closing moments,� extending the margin back out to seven to put the game out of reach.

Kleman had 13 points, including 2 three-pointers to lead Farrington.
