Waiakea Varsity Girls Rout Hawaii Prep 56-24; MaxPreps Links Box Score

Waiakea's varsity girls basketball team delivered a commanding performance, routing Hawaii Prep 56-24 in a game played Jan. 12. The low opponent score highlighted Waiakea's defensive stinginess and an offense that balanced scoring enough to pull away comfortably in the second half. The result improved Waiakea's season record and continued a strong January stretch for the program.

MaxPreps' Waiakea team page records the final score and links to the full box score, play-by-play and video highlights. The team feed on MaxPreps also references other recent wins over Kea‘au and Hilo earlier in January, and carries game recaps and clips that capture key sequences. Those box-score details and play-by-play logs give families, coaches and local scouts a clear statistical view of minutes, shot distribution and defensive contributions.

For Big Island fans, the game underlined the depth of Waiakea's roster and the effectiveness of its team defense. Holding an opponent to 24 points across a varsity contest is a measurable sign of progress, particularly as league schedules tighten and district positioning becomes more important. The lopsided margin should energize the student section and local supporters while signaling to other teams in the area that Waiakea has momentum to carry into upcoming matchups.

Local implications extend beyond a single win. Strong showings against island opponents like Kea‘au and Hilo earlier this month suggest a pattern rather than an isolated result. That pattern matters for season outlooks, attendance at home games and the development pipeline from youth leagues to the high school program. Community coaches and parents tracking player minutes and statistics can use the MaxPreps box score and video highlights to identify who is making impact plays and where the program is improving.

Waiakea's next steps will be to maintain consistency on both ends of the court and to translate January momentum into solid league results. Fans who missed the Jan. 12 game can view the full box score, play-by-play and highlight clips on the Waiakea team page at MaxPreps to see how the scoring broke down and which stretches decided the contest. As league play resumes, this win should keep local attention focused on Waiakea as one of the Big Island’s teams to watch.
