Cougars turn Governors
inside out

Kilioe Aliifua and Nicole Lehner provided a powerful inside-outside scoring combo as Kaiser defeated Farrington 55-35 in an Oahu Interscholastic Association Red East contest yesterday at Farrington.

Aliifua (19 points, seven rebounds) got the Cougars going early and Lehner turned it on in the second half. The senior guard scored 11 of her 18 points after intermission, knocking down an assortment of outside shots.

The Cougars also got contributions from Sharde Pratt (nine points, four rebounds) and Kehau Bangay (six points).

C'ani Kealoha led the Governors with 10 points, while Tanya Sale chipped in eight points and six rebounds.

Kaiser improved to 2-1 in league play, while the Governors (0-4) are still searching for their first OIA win.

"We did OK," Kaiser coach Lisa Mann said. "We need to work on communicating a little more on offense. Defensively, our effort was good.

"Nicky Lehner shot especially well, and that really made it hard for them because they were trying to pack it in on us. By her shooting well on the outside, they were forced to come out and guard her instead of doubling down low."

Kaiser held a 28-25 lead at the half before the Cougars blew open a tight game in the third quarter.

Aliifua poured in six points and Lehner swished a 3-pointer from the right wing to push the Cougars ahead 37-29.

"I was getting good looks and I was feeling it tonight," Lehner said. "I was on today."

She scored seven points in the fourth quarter and led an 11-3 charge in the final period that left no doubt in the outcome of the game.

Kaiser also benefited from Farrington's inexperience.

The Governors were whistled for an administrative technical foul in the third quarter after putting six players on the floor following a timeout.

"It comes down to execution. Kaiser came out with a good game plan," Farrington coach Jenic Tumaneng said. "They hit their shots. We're happy to be that close at halftime. The second half is always a different story.

"They hit shots. We didn't close out quick enough for us. We'd rather have them take those outside shots than those closer shots. But if they're hitting, what else can we do?"

Kaiser controlled the first quarter with solid ball movement. The Cougars fed Pratt and Aliifua, who combined for 13 of Kaiser's 16 points in the first quarter.

The Governors pushed the pace in the second period, using a 12-6 run to cut their deficit to one at 22-21.

Farrington consistently beat Kaiser in transition and scored all but two points off layups in the second quarter.

"They started beating us back on defense," Mann said. "We were trying to put full-court pressure on them. They got three or four layups on them."

But Farrington wasn't able to continue and the Governors' miscues sealed their fate in the second half.
