KAHUKU — Waiting only four days to even its score with Kahuku, Moanalua raced past the Red Raiders, 64-58, last night in O'ahu Interscholastic Association boys basketball action.

Nä Menehune improved to 6-1 in league play and are tied with Kahuku for first place in the OIA Red Conference Eastern Division. The Red Raiders had held off Moanalua, 58-53, last Thursday.

But due to a quirk in the schedule, the two teams met again last night and Nä Menehune took advantage of the opportunity, despite a 31-point effort by Red Raiders guard Nehoa Akina.

"(Thursday) was a disappointing loss," said Moanalua guard Josiah Kauhola, who scored a team-high 21 points last night. "But we came back the next day, watched some film, and then just worked harder. We didn't want a disappointing loss again."

Nä Menehune finished the first half with a 6-0 run to lead 30-25 at the break, then started the third period with an 11-0 run highlighted by Marcus Monroe's thunderous two-handed slam dunk off an alley-oop pass from freshman Marcus Keene, followed by Monroe's free throw.

"We never came out with any fight, our guys weren't up for it," Kahuku coach Hiram Akina said. "We were not getting back quick enough on the transition, and that's what we had talked about before the game. In fact, that was No. 1 (priority). We knew we couldn't give up those transition baskets."

The Red Raiders clawed back and closed it to 62-56 after Nehoa Akina's layup with 24 seconds remaining in the game, but Kauhola sank two free throws a second later.

Kawehena Johnson's layup with 13 seconds left cut it to 64-58 and Kahuku came up with a steal following the ensuing inbounds pass, but Akina's off-balanced 3-point attempt missed with seven ticks remaining.
