Hawaii Swish basketball team looks to remain unbeaten

The Hawaii Swish semi-professional basketball team seeks to remain unbeaten when it faces the Seattle Mountaineers at 7:30 p.m. today at Moanalua High School.

The Swish are 2-0 in the 2018-19 ABA season, while the Mountaineers are 3-2.

“They’re not ranked, but they’re a really solid team,” Swish owner/guard Geremy Robinson said. “A lot of ex-college guys and they’ve got some height. One of our most competitive games we’ve had in a while. We’re hoping for the fan support of people coming out.”

Tickets are $15 for general admission and $25 for courtside seats. Military members get $5 off, while children under 4 years old get in free.
