NOTEBOOK
Tale of 2 teams for Morikuni
The McKinley boys basketball team rose to the top at the Division II state championships this year.
The same could happen with the McKinley girls. The Tigers are off to a 3-0 start in Oahu Interscholastic Association White Conference play.
Chelsie Sato, a four-year starter, is leading the conference in scoring and is among the top 3-point shooters, and her teammates are effectively learning their respective roles.
The common thread between the two programs? Coach Bob Morikuni, the first-year girls coach.
"Our boys played great defense. The girls gotta do the same to win games," said Morikuni.
One difference between the two programs is the level of awareness.
"The McKinley boys were not expected to do much this past year. Everyone talked highly of other schools going into the league and even states. McKinley girls, on the other hand, seem to be the favorite to do well in the East," Morikuni said, referring to preseason picks by OIA White coaches.
"It's a different kind of mind-set for us as coaches. For the boys, it's harping on that underdog role to get us motivated, but for the girls it's kind of different now being the hunted."
Coaching positions open
McKinley High School is seeking applicants for the positions of head girls volleyball coach and head cheerleading coach.
Applicants can send résumés to Tigers athletic director Neal Takamori by Monday.
