Trevyn Tulonghari swished a 3-pointer from just left of the top of the key with two seconds remaining last night to lift 'Iolani to a stunning 50-49 victory over Kamehameha and the Interscholastic League of Honolulu boys basketball championship.

A jam-packed crowd of about 1,050 at 'Iolani watched the Raiders — who have won the ILH twice in three years and eight times in the past decade — finish league play at 12-2 and earn the ILH's top seed and first-round bye in the state tournament March 3-6.

Kamehameha fell to 10-3 and will travel to Punahou (10-3) at 6:30 p.m. tomorrow for a special playoff, with the winner earning second place and the league's other automatic state tournament berth.

Tomorrow's loser must enter the ILH's third-place tournament starting Tuesday, with the tournament winner traveling Saturday to face the Big Island Interscholastic Federation's third-place team for the final state berth.

'Iolani, meanwhile, has its title and state berth locked up thanks to a furious rally from a 47-42 deficit in the final 53 seconds.

"I felt confident, during every timeout, I kept saying, 'We're not going to lose this game, we're not going to lose,' " said Tulonghari, a 6-foot-1 junior forward. "This feels great — we had two early losses (to Kamehameha and Punahou), but we finished strong."

The Warriors led 42-32 early in the fourth period and Charlton Tang's layup with 53 seconds remaining put them up, 47-42.

Tulonghari drained a 3-pointer with 32 seconds left to close it to 47-45, but Micah Christenson answered with a layup 10 seconds later to make it 49-45.

Kainoa Chu's runner in the lane cut the margin to 49-47 with 15.8 ticks remaining, and — after a timeout — Kamehameha failed to inbound the ball within five seconds, giving the Raiders one final possession.

With over half the sellout crowd on its feet, 'Iolani worked the ball around the perimeter and got the ball to Tulonghari at the top of the key, where he took one dribble to his left and floated a high archer as the 6-foot-5 Christenson closed in from his right.

"I knew I could hit it because that's the same place where I hit the last 3," Tulonghari said. "I felt like I had enough space and just needed to take that one dribble."

The ball swished cleanly through the net and with no timeouts, the Warriors barely had time to inbound the ball and try an 85-foot Hail Mary, which ricocheted off the backboard and side of the rim as time expired.

"They made big shots down the stretch, and we didn't do the job," Kamehameha coach Jesse Nakanishi said.

Tulonghari finished with a game-high 21 points. Dyrbe Enos had 16 points to lead the Warriors.
