Roosevelt roughs up Farrington
For now, the Roosevelt Rough Riders remain on top, but an asterisk for a TKO win might be fitting.
The Rough Riders accidentally gave Farrington's top scorer, C'ani Kealoha, a welt on her right eye early in the second quarter. Kealoha struggled and the Governors never recovered as second-ranked Roosevelt pulled away for a 43-29 win last night at Richard Kitamura Memorial Fieldhouse.
Point guard Dianna Zane had 13 points and dished out five assists to spark the Rough Rider offense. Tiana Sugui added 12 points, including a pair of big 3-pointers during a pivotal third-quarter run. Roosevelt improved to 8-0 in the Oahu Interscholastic Association Red East, taking one more step toward a potential first-place finish and an opening-round bye in the playoffs.
Roosevelt's air-tight man-to-man defense limited Farrington to 12-for-36 shooting (33 percent), including 1-for-12 from beyond the 3-point arc.
"Dianna shut down her man, and that led to steals," Roosevelt coach Bobby Keanini said. "Offensively, everybody feeds off her passes."
Iwalani Rodrigues grabbed all eight of her rebounds in the first half, setting the tone with her transition plays.
Kealoha and Tiyana Nakasone knocked heads when Kealoha ran a backdoor cut under the basket. The game was halted as both players regained their balance. By the second half, a welt had formed over Kealoha's eye and affected her vision.
"I was dizzy," said Kealoha, who took only three shots and didn't score.
Nakasone had a bag of ice on her cranium after the game.
"After we bumped heads, we both were kind of out of it," she said.
