Another night, another upset in the Interscholastic League of Honolulu.

Eighth-ranked Punahou used a 16-point fourth en route to a 38-35 win over fourth-ranked Iolani at Hemmeter Fieldhouse Wednesday night.

Akahi Troske scored a team-high eight points and Chris Kobayashi and Zayne Chong added six points apiece for the Buffanblu, who improved to 18-6 overall and 3-4 in the ILH.

Hugh Hogland paced the visiting Raiders (10-8, 3-4) with a game-high 11 points and Robby Mann added nine.

Iolani led after each quarter — including a 28-22 advantage after the third quarter — but was outscored by Punahou in the fourth, 16-7.

It was the second straight win for the Buffanblu after starting the ILH season 1-4. They will visit top-ranked Kamehameha Saturday.

The Raiders dropped their third consecutive game and will host third-ranked Saint Louis Saturday. They have lost by a combined seven points on their current losing streak.

Punahou avenged a 53-33 rout at the hands of Iolani back on Jan. 12 with the win.
