Hanalani had already won seven in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 21 points) and they went ahead and made it eight on Monday. They walked away with a 50-41 win over the Maria Carrillo Pumas. Given the Royals' advantage in MaxPreps' basketball rankings in their respective home states (they are ranked fifth in Hawaii, while the Pumas are ranked 254th in California), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Hanalani's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Ellana Klemp led the charge by dropping a double-double on 17 points and 11 boards. That makes it three consecutive games in which Klemp has scored at least a third of Hanalani's points. The team also got some help courtesy of Jayda Okuhara, who posted 11 points and six rebounds.
