Kahapea made all-BIIF as a junior last season for Kamehameha, but his best moment yet came Saturday night at Waiakea.

The 6-foot-4 senior hit a baseline jump shot with five seconds left to lift Kamehameha to a 52-50 victory in a key early season Division I test.

Kahapea finished with 26 points and seven rebounds after tallying 14 points earlier in the week against Pahoa.
