Hardwood education: Kadena cagers get lessons in physicality, speed in MLK, Oki-Am Shootout

It's what Kadena senior boys basketball guard Brandon Harris terms the "best of both worlds."

Last week, the Panthers got a sort of physical education -- going up against adult interservice and open-team players -- in the 15th Martin Luther King Invitational Tournament.

This week comes their speed education, against the cat-quick press-and-transition style emblematic of Japanese high school teams in the 3rd Okinawa-American Shootout. Both tournaments at the Camp Foster Field House.

Read about Kadena's hardwood education in this week's Home Team.
