Kahuku defeats Punahou for boy's basketball title

Kahuku finally has its first boys basketball state championship.

In one of the most fast-paced state finals in recent memory, top-seeded Kahuku got 23 points from point guard Jessiya Villa and 20 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks from Samuta Avea to outlast second-seeded Punahou 70-55 in the Division I final of the Snapple/HHSAA Boys Basketball State Championships on Saturday at Stan Sheriff Center.

A crowd of 3,565 sounded double its size, and most of the volume came from Kahuku fans.
