GBB SEMISTATES: The Saturday lineup
Posted on 25 February 2010 by .
Sixteen teams will battle Feb. 27 for the right to play for a state championship as the 35th Annual IHSAA Girls Basketball State Tournament rolls on to the semistate round. Each of the four sites will host a doubleheader, with two of last year’s state champs in position to get back to the state finals to defend their crowns.
Class 4A top-ranked Ben Davis (26-0) would tie the state record for consecutive victories with a win over No. 4 Floyd Central (25-1) in the second game at Southport. The Giants won all 30 games last season, and a victory on Saturday evening would equal the mark of 57 set by Fort Wayne Northrop from 1985-87.
No. 2 Fort Wayne Canterbury (23-2), the two-time defending Class A champion, will have a shot at a third straight title if it can get by fourth-ranked Turkey Run (20-5) at the Warsaw Semistate. Top-ranked Vincennes Rivet (25-0), which fell to Canterbury in last year’s title game, is attempting to get back to the state championship game but will have to fend off No. 7 Waldron (22-3) at Bedford North Lawrence.
Top-ranked Rushville (24-2) will try to end the longest semistate championship drought this weekend when it takes on No. 5 Evansville Memorial (23-3) in Class 3A action at Bedford North Lawrence. The Lions last played in the state finals in 1993, falling in the afternoon semifinal game.
No. 12 Fort Wayne Luers (17-7), which takes on Winamac (19-6) in 2A action at Warsaw, will look to win a state-best seventh semistate crown. The Knights have also won a state-record five championships, the last coming in 2006 in 3A.

Fa’asoa family brings Kaimuki a title
By Paul Honda
Honolulu Star Bulletin
Every time Kaimuki faced a new challenge in the postseason, coach Mona Fa’asoa had the right recipe.
This time, her strategy brought Kaimuki a state championship.
With 20 points from Dejah Fa’asoa and 11 from Letishah Fa’asoa — both daughters of the coach — the Bulldogs toppled defending champion Molokai 41-32 in the final of the Hawaiian Airlines/HHSAA Girls Basketball Division II State Championships last night at Blaisdell Arena.
It is the first girls basketball state crown for Kaimuki, which placed third last year.
“Molokai’s a great team. We just tried to work off their mistakes and not rush anything,” coach Fa’asoa said. “We wanted them to come out and play ‘D’ on us. We have a lot of scoring factors.”
“They were the better team tonight,” Molokai assistant coach Mike Hooper said.

Kaimukī captures DII Title
By Stanley Lee
Advertiser Staff Writer
At the end of the game, Dejah Fa’asoa gave her player of the game plaque to teammate Pua Akaka. Without Akaka, Fa’asoa said Kaimukī wouldn’t have won last night’s state title.
On a small, tight-knit team where they consider each other as family, it was only the right thing to do when the Bulldogs espouse rising and falling together.
“Without her in the game, we probably would’ve lost,” said Fa’asoa, who scored 20 points in second-seeded Kaimukī’s 41-32 win over defending champion and No. 1 seed Moloka’i in last night’s title game of the Hawaiian Airlines Division II Girls Basketball State Championships at the Blaisdell Arena.
Fa’asoa received the award issued by OC-16. “She did so well, she played really good defense. Without her, our defense wouldn’t have worked.”
Letishah Fa’asoa, Dejah’s older sister, had 11 points for the Bulldogs (16-2), who came together over the course of the season. Coach Mona Fa’asoa, Letishah’s and Dejah’s mother, said her team, which had just eight active players last night, would frequently text message each other at night about the following day’s practices or meals. Coach Fa’asoa said the texting was at times irritating, but it bonded the squad.

Lahainaluna leaves with title
By Paul Honda
Honolulu Star Bulletin
At Lahainaluna, there’s no getting away from family and friends.
In fact, they will track and follow their Lunas across the ocean out of loyalty. That fact turned into motivation for the Lahainaluna Lady Lunas, who rallied from an 11-point deficit for a stunning 47-45 win over defending champion Konawaena last night in the final of the Hawaiian Airlines/HHSAA Girls Basketball Division I State Championships.
The Lunas rallied from 11 down.
“I told the girls, ‘How badly do you want this?’ It’s surreal,” Lahainaluna coach Todd Rickard said. “It just proves that even if you’re from the neighbor islands, if you put the work in required and training in the offseason, it can happen. It can really happen.”
The win came with a tinge of controversy when Lia Galdeira’s pull-up jumper to tie the game was ruled no good after a blocking foul. If the shot had counted, the game would have been tied at 47 with a free throw for the Wildcats sophomore.
Instead, Konawaena had the ball down 47-45 with 2 seconds left. An inbounds pass from under the basket from Dawnyelle Awa to Galdeira in the paint was deflected and caromed away as time expired.
Center Milika Taufa, sensing her last opportunity, brought the championship trophy home for the Lunas (26-2). The 6-foot senior poured in 26 points, including 21 in the second half, to lead Lahainaluna to its first girls hoops state crown.
