Courtney Chai scored all of her nine points during Kamehameha's 36-point fourth-quarter barrage.
"In the second half, I thought we did a real good job of shooting the ball," said Kamehameha coach Clay Cockett.

"At this point in the season we haven't been playing as well as I thought we should have," Cockett said. "It was nice to get a lot of girls in the game and playing."
