Basuel got help from Hunter Bethel to add nine points, and Micah Lalin finished with eight points in the win.
Jacob Lombardo of the Team Lihu‘e Bulls was the third player to finish with 10 points Tuesday night, his 10 points leading the Bulls to a 27-13 win over the Lihu‘e Kamikaze. The Kamikaze were led by Leon Runny’s seven points.
