Final 1 2 3 4  
Leilehua (12-1, 22-5) 9 12151450
Radford (6-5, 9-11) 13 4 14 1748
C. Williams 25 pts  1 3pm  4/4 FTs
T. Wilson 14 pts  1 3pm  3/4 FTs

Eighth-ranked Leilehua went down to the wire with upset-minded Radford, but ultimately prevailed, 50-48, to improve to 9-0 in OIA West play and set up a showdown with Mililani for the top seed out of the division in the upcoming OIA Division I playoffs.

Twain and Tyree Wilson paced the visiting team with 14 and 11 points, respectively, and Trystin Stevens came off the bench with nine points of his own to help the cause.

The Mules led for much of the ame, but the Rams kept things close, thanks in large part to another strong scoring outing from Caden Williams, who led all scorers with 25 points.

Wiliams got the home team to within a point with 1:37 left in regulation at 47-46, and then had a chance to take the lead on a three-point attempt by Angel Garcia with 1:11 to go, but the shot missed and was rebounded by Stevens to end the threat.

Currently, Radford is 5-3 in league play, with games at Mililani and home against Kapolei to close out the regular season.
