Maryknoll is more than a two-headed monster.

The Spartans tasted a little bit of life without point guard Kaleb Gilmore in the fourth quarter but pulled out a 66-61 win over Baldwin in the Division I quarterfinals of the Hawaiian Airlines/HHSAA Boys Basketball State Championships at Jim Alegre Gymnasium on Thursday night.

David beat Goliath from long range, and the Bears took the same approach in the second half, hitting seven of their 13 shots from beyond the arc in the second half. The barrage put Baldwin within one point with 23 seconds left in the third. And that wasn’t Maryknoll’s only trouble. Gilmore, who finished with 26 points, was on the bench being tested for a concussion after a collision. He was not planning on playing the fourth quarter at all, but coach Kelly Grant called for him with 3:16 left and his team up by four points.

"I was dead, I am still dead," Gilmore said. "I have a little bit of a headache and I need to go home. My trainer tried to convince me to sit out the whole fourth quarter, but he got a little pep talk from my dad."

Gilmore scored three points the rest of the way, missing three of four free throws, but he wasn’t the one who iced it. Tyson Kaloa was fouled with his team up three and 9.9 seconds left. Needing to hit one to end the scare, he calmly stepped up and hit both of them. Baldwin turned the ball over to end it.

"As soon as they fouled Tyson I had no doubt he would make it," Grant said. "From his sophomore year, we weren’t even sure he was going to be a part of our program. But we talked about it and knew about his work ethic and his family."

Joshua Burnett contributed 20 of Maryknoll’s points, giving him and Gilmore 46 of Maryknoll’s 66. They had 51 of the team’s 59 in the first round against Moanalua, but they are quick to point out that it isn’t just them.

The Spartans have more weapons.

"That was pressure," Kaloa said. "But I practice free throws all day hoping it would come to that moment. We all try to know our roles, and we all stepped up today. Even though we have our two leading scorers we all had to step up some other way."

Baldwin had its own injury woes. Teva Eldridge was limited to 13 points in 20 minutes and went through the handshake line on crutches. No excuses, though.

"If we could have shot like that in the first we might have been all right," Baldwin coach Wayne Gushiken said. "We didn’t want to get into a track meet with Gilmore, then he made a half-court track meet out of it. We couldn’t stop him."

Baldwin got 22 points from Ryan Garces and 17 from Philip Thomas, with Garces burying four 3-pointers and Thomas hitting three.

"Those guys can shoot," Grant said. "I thought my guys were playing pretty good defense, but they set some screens and got open for a half a second and were making them."

Farrington 46, Mililani 44

Jacob McEnroe forced Elijah Butler into an off-balance 3-pointer along the sideline with time running out and the Governors survived to reach the semifinals.

"I was super scared," McEnroe said. "But my mentality was to make sure he never gets the ball. I just wanted to deny him and make him get the hardest shot possible without touching him because anything can happen in the fourth quarter and he can shoot the ball."

In addition to his defensive play, McEnroe led Farrington with 17 points and 10 rebounds, half of them on the offensive end. Isaiah Visoria had 12 points, five assists and six steals for the Governors but committed eight of his team’s 19 turnovers against Mililani’s press.

"Mililani played an excellent game, especially the first half," Farrington coach Allan Silva said. "We have to play a lot better."

Mililani, which last led with 5:21 left in the game, was led by Noel Bueno’s 17 points and seven steals. Butler contributed 12 points and 10 rebounds.

The Trojans were whistled for 19 fouls to Farrington’s eight. Elijah Gambol fouled out with more than  four minutes left and Bueno, Cody Sison and Ian Namu each had three.

"We had our chances," Mililani coach Ed Gonzales said. "(Bueno) and (Gambol) being in foul trouble hurt us; they are two of our main ballhandlers."

MILILANI–Noel Bueno 17, Cody Sison 6, Elijah Gambol 0, Ian Namu 2, Elijah Butler 12, Braiden Rosario 3, Jeremy Rozmeski 0, Sean Fitzgerald 0, Jacob Low 0, James Ziegler 0, Kekoa Fields 4.
