At 5 p.m., the Kaua‘i Ballers “B” under coach William Aki will open against Kaulupono, coached by Bobby Kamakele at the Kalaheo Neighborhood Center.
That match will be followed by the Kaua‘i Ballers “A,” also coached by Aki, tipping off against Waimea, coached by Elton Montemayor, starting at 6 p.m.
The boys take the floor starting at 7 p.m. when Hanakila “A,” coached by Philip Baclayon, tips off against the Kaua‘i Ballers coached by Aki. At 8 p.m., Hanakila “B,” also coached by Baclayon, will take on Westside Basketball, coached by Dino Pabre, the coordinator of the adult Sunday night league at the Kalaheo Neighborhood Center.
There is no admission to view the games, which are tentatively scheduled to play on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
There are also three Saturday games on tap for June and the final games will be played July 8 for the boys and July 10 for the girls.
