Boys' Soccer: Preparation, defense lead Iolani over Punahou for ILH crown
Posted at 09:52 AM
Consistency. Commitment. Passion. The Iolani Raiders didn't win the ILH boys' soccer title by mistake, no sir. By Paul Honda HONOLULU—It is a measure of respect, ultimately, to Punahou's chagrin that Iolani head coach Ric Miller left no stone unturned before yesterday's pivotal battle with the Buffanblu. "My wife has seen me watching video over and over again 'til 2 in the morning," the first-year coach said. "Punahou changed positions since the last time we played them. We decided to switch positions and use different formations and personnel." That extra preparation didn't hurt, as Iolani clinched the Interscholastic League of Honolulu boys soccer championship with a 1-0 win over Punahou yesterday afternoon at Kapiolani Park.
