DROPPING DOMINANCE
The boys and girls teams at Punahou have won an astounding 78 of 86 state swimming and diving championships since 1958. But they have received more competition in recent years: three other boys' teams (including defending champ Baldwin) have won in the past five years and the Iolani girls have won twice since 1996.
FIVE YEARS AGO THIS WEEK
Down by 1 with two seconds left, Nick Deely threw a perfect full-court inbounds pass to Brian Yule, who layed the ball in to give Kalaheo a stirring 52-51 win over Moanalua in the semifinals of the OIA Tournament. Kalaheo beat Kahuku the following night for its third straight league title.
The Menehunes got the last laugh a week later, topping the Mustangs, 49-44, in the state championship game.
