WAIMEA — The Waimea Menehunes got off to a quick start in Kaua’i
Interscholastic Federation tennis.
The Waimea boys team rolled to a 5-0
victory over the Kapa’a Warriors, while the Menehune girls team squeaked out a
3-2 win over Kapa’a last Saturday in season-opening matches at the Waimea High
School courts.
One of the five girls matches went the full three sets as
Waimea’s Lory Gawaran edged Kapa’a’s Seychelle DeMille 6-3, 3-6,
6-3.
Serina Roush scored one of Kapa’a High’s victory — a 6-3, 6-1 win
over Kathleen Sison. Kapa’a’s other victory came by forfeit in third
doubles.
Waimea won all 10 sets in the boys match, and the only close set
came in first singles where Corey Pablo beat Ryan Esaki 7-6, 6-2.
